I believe I was successful in carrying out the course assignments. Success defined by dictionary.com (n.d.) says that it is “the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors”. I attempted. I planned to complete the work in a timely manner. I revamped my afternoon work schedule. I revamped it again when it did not give me enough time in the afternoons to study. I gave it my best effort. So I must believe that I was successful. I know that I could have done better because there is always room for improvement.
Gladwell talked about the Broken Windows Theory. If a window is broken, then it should be fixed so that more damage will not occur (2000). I could apply this theory to my life during this timeframe. If I was disappointed in something, my way to fix it was to communicate with my Instructional Associate. I appreciated the timely responses I have received. This curbed any discouragement that was trying to come. The only discouragement I had was underestimating the amount of time this program would take to complete on a weekly basis. I plan to overcome this with appropriate planning.
