I feel as though being in this class I would have benefited more from taking this course in an actual classroom as the whole point to learning the social aspect of human services is to actually be social. I think maybe if I were in an actual classroom, there would have been maybe field trips or group projects. There was a lot of useful information throughout the book, some chapters were over whelming as they seem to just drag on about some subjects.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think I achieved all the information I wanted to obtain as I was very distracted this semester with having a high-risk pregnancy and then having a baby in the beginning of November, so trying to stay focused throughout was difficult. I was more rested and interested in the course in the beginning, verses the last few weeks and till now with hardly any sleep and I have slacked off a few assignments by mistake by simply forgetting what day it is and falling asleep. I do however enjoy the writing blogs and working with the portfolio though it took some time to get used to.<\/p>\n<p>My attitudes haven\u2019t changed about taking this course, I expected some topics would be hard to discuss such as aggression and social influences on a person as some areas about these topics hit close to home, but in this line of field I know that social psychology plays a huge part in human services field. If I had to take the class again, which I know I did poorly this time around due to my situation, but if I had to repeat, I would take the course in a classroom where I could stay focused. I feel as though I have grown to realize the importance of staying focused in school. One skill I feel as though I have gained through this course would be to listen more when in the company of others or in a social setting and since I have children, one 15, one 7, and one new born, I\u2019ve learned to be a bit more patient with them and take time to hear them when they speak. I feel as though it is extremely important to learn to be patient in any human services profession.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-214 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/link-psyc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10096\/2018\/12\/main-qimg-9d7556f654f0e6cbb5b97420729e3782-300x213.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/link-psyc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10096\/2018\/12\/main-qimg-9d7556f654f0e6cbb5b97420729e3782-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/link-psyc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10096\/2018\/12\/main-qimg-9d7556f654f0e6cbb5b97420729e3782.png 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I chose this picture because despite all the obstacles I had to <strong>build<\/strong> enough will power to\u00a0 challenge through this semester as I almost skipped taking classes this fall, I pushed through and toughed it out.
