1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
I have tried to keep up and get ahead of my assignments instead
of waiting till the last minute to do them. I have also been checking these
discussions ahead of time so that I know what is required and am ready to do
them with time.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk
about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you
through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past
two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
I remember when I got my acceptance letters from universities and
I was not accepted to some of my dream schools. When I saw that, I focused on
the schools that did accept me and was incredibly happy about UF. Throughout
the college experience I have grown and learned from failures and mistakes,
this helps me become a bigger and better person mentally.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would
offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support
tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset’?
I would say:
Always work ahead, strive for your goals and don’t let
some setbacks kill all the work and desire you have to get to the finish line with
your goals in life and in school.
Hey Sophia, following through and rolling with the punches is an admirable trait. Learning to pick yourself back up and keep going when it gets tough is the cornerstone of the fighting spirit. If you just give up when you've been knocked down, you would have learned nothing. This class seems to be helping you manage your time and focus on the assignments before they become stressful.
