Final Reflection Academic Life Strategies has been a valuable learning tool. It has opened my mind to new ways of accomplishing goals and achieving academic success. Although academic success is important, I have learned that to set my expectations on a perfect performance isn’t required, that working with others as a team is difficult, and understand that concentration is an ongoing battle. I agonize over imperfection, preferring not to try, above not achieving perfection. Reevaluating my vision of success will alleviate undue stress along my academic journey. Perfection is an unrealistic definition of success in any area of life, and is not required in achieving academic success. I have heard many times, that a hard-earned B is more valuable

    ...that can foil even the best plans. Perfection does not have a single definition, “The act of making something perfect or better”-Merriam Webster. It is up to each individual to decide whether he or she achieved perfection in their job, and the bar to determine that is similarly different for each individual. In the end when the task has been completed individuals shouldn’t necessarily ask themselves if they were perfect, they should ask themselves how they can improve from their experience. Achieving perfection is a constant chase, when one thinks they were perfect they must also realize that they could have been better. When an individual thinks they are perfect, they have given up on the chase for perfection. “Better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes a willingness to try.”

Through this, I realized that money, fame, and power are my strongest personal values.

    I considered it irritating to be asked by a teacher to rewrite something they have not read and explicitly state the revision should look completely different from the original. Then I realized the essay was a constant series of revisions as I worked towards a paper I would be satisfied to submit for a grade. I would like to share the evolution of my essay from my rough draft to the final draft I submitted to Brainfuse and finally through the completed revision.

    It is said that if you enjoy what you do, the results will come. Starting the notoriously difficult second semester of second year in the Life Sciences SSP program, I perceived myself as highly motivated towards achieving success through self-satisfaction, over my grades. This would be challenging as a results-oriented individual, but I felt a need to discover my interests relative to future career choices. The semester was successful by academic standards, but I lacked a positive morale, I experienced a disconnection from course content, and I developed apprehension towards third year course selection.

    The semester has changed the way people, including myself, saw their majors in a way I did not expect. Mostly, I noticed that a lot of people who started this semester really confident about what to expect were really surprised and slacked off later in the semester than those who came in with an open mind. Earlier in the semester, I really had been doubting my choice of architecture as a major. I had especially been feeling constricted as a lot of the things I am also interested in have little to do with architecture.

  • Essay On Difference Between Active And Passive Students

    It is often believed that the way we choose to manage things defines the outcome. But who can say with certainty what the correct way of doing things is? When it comes to academic performance the amount of effort put into work is not the only factor that determines whether a student is going to be successful or not; personality, style and perception also play a key role. Students tend to be distinguished by the label “active” or “passive” regarding their rate participation and means for success. But even though they employ different methods of engagement, active and passive students are equally efficient. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.”
