Half-way Reflection-Dillon Dunn
To be successful in this class you must think outside the box. I feel like this class is more of a critical thinking in the business environment then anything else. I have also been forced out of my comfort zone. I have been forced to approach random people and interview them, or give them money. Being a shy person it has been hard for me to do these things. I have actually skipped assignments because my social anxiety gets to me. Most of the assignments where I have to approach people I have thought about giving up, but I tell myself that I will never be successful in life if I just give up on things. If I were to give future students of class any advice it would be "come to class with an open mind" and "Don't be scared to leave your comfort zone, you will learn a lot!

Dillon, you are right that this class does force you to move out of your comfort zone and do some things that you might not feel comfortable with. I too have struggled with some of the assignments and skipped certain ones. I now regret making that decision because when we are faced with those same situations in the business world it would have been better to face those fears while in school than in the real world. I wish you the best of luck and just remember that you can do anything that you put your mind to.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job reflecting on the class and yourself. I agree that the assignments where you have to interact with people seem to be the most challenging, but you have a great attitude about it. I also agree that this class pushes us as students to think critically about the businesses around us. Great job with the assignment.
ReplyDeleteI’m right there with you on the awkwardness of approaching strangers and trying to hand them money. Experiences like this definitely help us grow though, and you may be shy, but it will level out over time, especially if you can keep doing little exercises like these. Good job on your persistence when you have continued forward even when you thought about giving up – sometimes our own tenacity is all we have, and we can’t rely upon the world to shelter us. Good luck with the rest of the semester! You can check out my blog post here: http://ufentclassblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
