Personal Narrative: Life After Graduating High School

Decent Essays
When I first started Planning 10, I didn't know a lot about what the course was going to be about or include. I thought that it wasn't a very important course and that it was just something I had to take in order to graduate. It turns out that I was completely wrong. Now that I am finished the course, I now know how to use 2.0 Web Tools, manage money, live in healthy relationships, and write a resume. I also learned what life after graduating high school will be about. This course has provided me with a lot of useful ideas and taught me what to look out for in the future. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Planning 10. I found it easy to complete all the tasks, and hand them in on time. I also found that it was easy to stay

    Michael, I have to agree with you, this was a challenging yet rewarding semester! Honestly, I love classes like this because at the end of the semester I end up taking so much with me to use at work and home. In addition, I really enjoyed Dr. Thomas pushing our minds to think more critically about our adaptive plans and expanding our limited points of view when dealing with adaptive management. The readings supported the lesson’s we learned each week and were great aid’s in reassessing and advancing components of our plan.…

    Transitioning from high school to college is difficult. There is a huge increase in amount of homework. Quizzes, tests and midterms are harder compare to high school. Writing at the college level is difficult for me because English is my second language. Figuring out what I was planning to major in was the hardest part because I entered college not knowing what I was interested in doing.…

    The transition from High School can often times be very frustrating for students. L. Lennie Irvin opened my eyes to one of the bad habits I picked up on in High school. The habit of straying from the topic or theme could cause me to fail not only papers in English but my other courses as well. I personally had a hard time with English my first semester of college. In High school I was always at the top of my class and my teachers would tell me how great of a writer I was.…

    “I know applying to colleges is the last thing you want to do right now, but you might change your mind,” a trusted friend told me. It was December of my senior year of high school, and college application deadlines were approaching quickly. I was recovering from a major illness at the time, and wasn’t ready to think about college. My plan was to spend a year living at home and working before I pursued higher education. In the following months, my recovery progressed rapidly.…

    Prior to this course, I had never put much though into product design and marketing. Now I see how complex it actually is. Most importantly, I have learned about how products need to be created with the user in mind. Unless they provide a transformative and meaningful connection for the user, they will most likely flop. Products also are more likely to succeed when they are more simple because that allows for a much easier user experience.…

    I walked into the familiar main entrance of the school, crossing my arms and setting my face into what I thought was an intimidating glare. Although I looked like an angry toddler, with my round face and childish glower, my attitude came across very clearly: I was not happy at all to be back at school. After getting into a huge fight with my friend group earlier that year, I was starting high school essentially friendless. It wasn’t as if I didn’t have another group of people to fall back onto.…

    I personally have noticed many changes throughout this course. I mostly noticed how now I analyze my jobs more with my coworkers, bosses and myself. I have one job that I absolutely love and another one that I do not care for very much, I did not really understand why because I get along well with my coworkers and higher ups. As our course went on and I started to understand business some more I then realized why there were certain things that were shaping my views about my jobs. One big thing that I noticed was the team work at my jobs.…

    When I think how this course has contributed toward my career development I can’t help but think about the SDLC. Learning about this concept has made me put labels to processes that I already did on regular bases but until this moment they were not more than part of my ways to operate in life. I think the best example that I have to illustrate my point is when I created my system to be able to save and create a fund for the business project I want to take on in the near future. I was barely but a Basic Airman right out of boot camp (and for those of you that are not in the military, that is the lowest rank possible in the Air Force) when I decided that I needed a plan to create a fund that would allow me to finance a business idea that I have.…

    I have discovered the areas that I have been successful in as well as the many areas that I will need to make improvements. For example, prior to this class I had no knowledge of the X and Y theories. Now I realize that I operated with the mindset of a theory X manager and had the same thought process about all employees collectively, which in return made me less effective and resulted in not reaching maximum production. I currently will apply this knowledge to communicate more effectively with my current managers and to better recognize what theory they most resemble and why they interact with me on the level that they do. This class will also assist me greatly in my future goals to own a business in which I possibly will have to manage multiple people in different departments.…

    The topics were “bearable”. However, I really had no idea what was Modeling all about. We even joked about it, more so when we knew that there’s going to be a gallery walk. In the first few sessions of the course, it was what I expected, solving equations and a few problems. But on the middle part of the school year, I never expected modeling would be mind-blowing.…
