Reflection
As a missionary, I made a goal that I would write in my
journal each day. It wasn’t a goal I
necessarily made for myself, it was more a goal that I was encouraged to make
by my Branch President in the MTC. He
promised that in so doing we would be blessed.
Knowing that I was going to need all the blessing I could get I took on
the challenge and wrote in my journal every night.
When I first started I was unsure what to write and couple
months into it I felt like I really didn’t have anything meaningful to
say. I felt sorry for any of my future children
that may end up reading this poor excuse of a journal.
Twenty months in to my mission and hundreds of pages later,
I actually went back and started reading my journal, starting from the
beginning. I was amazed—not of myself,
but of the blessings I had received in that short twenty month period. I could see growth, maturity and increased understanding
in each entry.
I think the thing I treasure most about by journal is that
every day was accounted for. I knew I
had to something productive each day, because at the end of the day I would be
responsible to note what I had accomplished.
I did not want to return to the apartment without something to important
to note.
The journal in this class has served as a similar tool for
me. Each week I have had the opportunity
to reflect on all the assignments I have worked on in each of my classes. My journal entry has almost always been the
last assignment I completed that week, as it was my time to reflect on what I
have learned. I have made a personal
commitment to continue to keep a journal an account for my time and remember
the lessons I have learned.
$100.00 Challenge Project Update:
This week was great.
I really enjoyed watching each student’s presentation and seeing how
their projects turned out. It was
interesting to see the variety of ventures that were pursued. It was truly inspiring.
