The process of writing allows for introspection and reflection of experiences in your life. This, in some respects, is perhaps the most important aspect of your coursework for ADV110 in that it allows for you to think about how your experiences relate to you and your goals. This semester you have been assigned various blog/journal assignments covering different aspects of your expeditions. Now is the opportunity to reflect on your experiences as a whole, and consider the influence they have had on you.
Think back on all of the experiences you have had this semester (in this course and others). Compose a post that expresses how you feel those experiences have affected you. Address five of the personal growth issues listed below. This should be of significant length (3-5 pages in a word processor) and should show evidence of “deep” reflection, introspection, and transfer of experiences to your everyday life.
Select Five (5) of the Following:
- Doing something I didn’t think I could
- Feeling proud
- Challenging myself
- Asking for help
- Sharing information
- Talking to each other
- Choosing not to participate
- Dealing with frustration
- Putting each other down
- The same people always leading
- Relating to the natural world
- Having a vision
- Looking at a problem in a new way
- Not completing a task
- Complacent about safety
- Not following the rules
