Since being here at UMF, my eyes have opened to a variety of learning and teaching styles. I believe that to be a successful college student and eventually a successful teacher, I must absorb the information around me. It is more than just attending class and doing the work. It is actually learning and understanding the material. I am only hurting myself if I do not do the work and understand the material. In order to be successful, I must strive to go beyond what I believe my limitations are as well as erasing my expectations to learn new things. I need to complete not only my classes but my tests, practicum, and student teaching. But in doing all of these I must be able to gain something from every experience and use those experiences towards my future.
I also believe that I need to have good time management with my studies, my work, and my play. I need to be able to balance my classes, my homework, my jobs, my dancing for UMF dance team, as well as my personal life. Being able to develop academic skills, time management skills, and social skills now, will only benefit me in the future.
EDU 101 has helped me realize that college is a fun time, a great part of my life, but in order to be successful in the real world, I need to start now. I see the importance of learning when I will be in the teacher's shoes in just a few years. I hope to see more information on how others are successful and the strategies they used.

I knew coming to UMF would further my teaching career but I did not understand that coming to UMF would further my life. Since being on this campus I have learned more than ever before and have met life-long friends. This class, specifically, has helped me to learn more about my dream of teaching as well as prepare me for my dream of teaching. I have seen the strategies of other students, teachers, and friends. I can be successful here at UMF by simply trying hard and giving everything I have to my goals. This class has helped me grow, and I appriciate that from everyone.
Wow. Both entries are so great . . . and so you! :-)
