1)
Tenaciousness
is a skill. What are the behaviors
that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this
course? I believe keeping on a
schedule is what helped the most. Even when you are busy, always make time for
your assignments.
2)
Tenaciousness
is also about attitude. Talk
about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you
through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past
two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this? I have three kids, two jobs and school. I
wanted to give up every day because I felt so overwhelmed with the assignments.
I kept giving what I could because I need to get through this. I think I have
accepted that even with assignments that did not get done, I kept moving
forward and didn’t let myself get bogged down. With huge responsibilities, I’ve
found that I am extremely busy and can only give my best which leads to
forgiving myself when I come in under my own expectations.
3) Three
tips. What are three tips you would offer nextsemester's student about
(1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the
'tenacious mindset'? It comes down to
staying focused and continuing to tell yourself you can complete this. Always
keep your schedule in mind. Try to not get hung up on little things and look at
the big picture.
Hey! I loved reading how busy you are with everyday life, yet still make the commitment to this class! I know it can be overwhelming sometimes with how many assignments there are, but like you said, keeping a schedule can make it manageable. I struggled a little bit in the beginning of the semester, and even missed a few assignments, but I got accustomed to the course and learned how to prevent that from happening again. I loved you tip about not getting hung up on the little things, because I think that can really help the future students in this class.
