For the four assignments that you choose to complete throughout the semester, you will reflect on your takeaway from each. Do not copy and paste your assignments. Think of this space as a brief way to communicate how the assignment engaged you, how it was personally relevant, and reflect on how you learned more about yourself after completion. Each assignment recap will need to contain an illustrative picture. Examples will be provided.
Assignment 2 Take Away:
This assignment really helped me think about my self and in how I perceive myself. I know overall I tend to be someone who would say I am shy or like my alone time, but while looking and analyzing these pictures I realized how happy I can be. When taking pictures, I know in the moment I think of it as nothing but having to look back through for the assignment it made me look at them and think of that day and how happy I was which helps me think myself as not depressed or sad like I feel I am.
This assignment helps me think of the positive mental health I want to have and that I can look through pictures when I am feeling down and help boost my mood. Also, knowing how much success I want in life I never want to be anything but happy and with that I know this happiness with help me go through school and get better grades in having the best opportunity for the future.
Assignment 3 Takeaway:
This assignment really opened my eyes in seeing how mean people can be. In this class we learned about racism and after watching that video I was able to see it first hand. I know on the news these days it is a big topic meaning we really need to make it a known thing about how awful it is and ways to over come the issue. Some people come from backgrounds where their families may have had racists backgrounds which is later passed down by generation and I hope with it being such a global news presence that people start to break this trend and overcome this problem by also pointing people out and changing and making people like this comedian noticed for his actions.
I chose this image because it shows people standing up against the problem and trying to fix it without force or fighting, just a peaceful protest in which everyone is able to join in to help.
Assignment 4 Takeaway:
Assignment four I learned how I am in relationships and it made me think about previous ones. I learned how I am very loving and caring while in relationships and how I think about future ideas because in a relationship I think marriage vs. just wasting time. In my last relationship, I realized future problems with his future career and kids and I wasn’t happy so it ended and now I know what I want to see. This quiz also made me realize how I do not put up with game playing and toying with my emotions. Overall this quiz was very enlightening and I realized a lot on who I am romantically.
Assignment 5 Takeaway:
The assignment last week being about different good deeds I did for others really helped me in a positive aspect. I feel a lot of people would benefit from a assignment like this one just because of the task given. People don’t realize what good deeds can do to others and for their self by making them realize the vibes given out by you as an individual and the morals felt after going out of my way to do something for others.
Not only did it me enjoy doing the deeds but made me want to do more even this past week after the assignment was given. By enjoying doing good deeds it can rub off on others and make them want to do the favor to others also. This class teaches social aspects of psychology and of all things taught in this course, I feel this one is the most valuable in everyday life.
