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 5 involved performing acts of kindness for strangers. This was an easy assignment for me. From a young age, I was always taught to help those in need if I can. I enjoyed seeing the reactions of those who I helped. I could tell they genuinely appreciated my help and could visually see the relief in their eyes. I was glad to be of service and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Although this assignment was about sharing kindness, I saw a lot of people who could have helped these individuals instead of me but made the active choice not to. I feel like if more people took initiative to help others and do the right thing the world would be in a better place.

Assignment 4 was the Styles of Love assignment. I liked this assignment because it visualized the feelings I had of love on paper. It showed me my values and the type of lover I am. This assignment also taught me the names or technical terms for the different types of love. Overall, I was proud of my results and I enjoyed this assignment.

For assignment two, I had to put together a collage of photos that I felt best represented me and the ones I love. This assignment taught me that it is good to go back and reflect on the times most important to you. This assignment relates to a similar topic I had in a previous class. That assignment was about self-reflecting and expressing the feelings you had during that time. I enjoyed this assignment because I felt like it was what I needed at the time. I reflected on some good memories and was reminded of why I loved my family the way I do. Sometimes you need a reminder for why you do the things you do.

For assignment one, I learned about the different heuristics. This was my first time learning about heuristics and how they operate. This assignment gave me a new perspective of life because we act out these heuristics without knowing. I also was able to make my interpretations from this assignment. I was able to see how heuristics can be incorrectly used in society. I see it all the time, especially with the representativeness heuristic. I feel that social media negatively fuels the representativeness heuristic. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment and it gave me a lot of insight. I chose the following image because I felt it represents the involvement of heuristics in everything.
