For the JAPN 312 writing project, we were tasked with discussing the topic of “What I have learned through my experience as a life-long learner.” Using our experience of coursework in this course or a specific experience outside the course, we were to discuss a few main points about the chosen experience. These points included our expectations, challenges we faced, what we did to solve these challenges, our realizations after solving the challenges, what we learned through the experience, another experience that occurred in a different context that we could meaningfully connect to the one being discussed, and how we would like to use what we learned through the experiences to better ourselves in the future. The coursework experience I chose to discuss was this course’s group journal activity.
