Assignment Takeaway

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.

I did a few nice things for different people. The first thing I did was for one of my closest friends. We went to McDonalds, and I offered to pay for his order. He greatly appreciated it, and said he would pay for my next meal. The second thing I did was hold the door for three random people behind me. They all expressed gratitude and this made me feel good on the inside. The last was I took my grandma out to JcPenny’s and let her pick out whatever she wanted, since it was her birthday. She was very excited.

As stated earlier, these activities made me feel good. Knowing I helped make an impact (albeit a small one) on other people’s lives is always a way of helping yourself feel better. What prompted me to do these activities was this assignment, although I’m definitely sure I would have done these without the assignment.
