Reflections on Week 1

1. The only thing that might inhibit my participation on class is my sport. It is unlikely, but their might be days where I will have to miss school for tournaments, games, etc. Other than that, I am completely ready to participate to the max.
2. The greatest learning experience I've ever had was perhaps at the swim prelims last year. It was hosted at the Arroyo Grande pool and I had been training all season for the 200m Free. I had to get a time under 2:00 and my best time was a 2:05.7. I also promised my coach I would do it in under 2:00 because he needed me to score points for the team at the meet. So much fear and preparation went into the race and when I finally swam it, i got a 1:58.9. I learned that I could believe in myself and accomplish my goals as long as I could put in the work necessary.
3. In this class, I am most excited about all the collaboration we as students can use to our advantage on all the assignments we are given. I am concerned about keeping up with the blog, but I think I can handle it. I am most interested in learning about other topics like "The Right To Your Opinion" and how what we most commonly think isn't always true. I am also excited to learn how to become a better writer.
