I Hope to Gain

One of the things I hope to gain in this course is a better way to write reports and take notes. It will be very important for me to learn these skills being and accountant, because I have to listen to the clients and take notes of the things I can help them with. Another topic I am anxious to learn is learning styles. I always seem to think my way is the best way to do things and I know that is not always true. Learning a different learning style might help me become a better learner. I also hope I can gain new ways to manage my time and stress.

Learning to manage my time and stress will also help me deal with day to day activities that come with me being a mother of toddlers, wife, opening a business, and taking online classes. The last topic I cannot wait to gain knowledge on is career connections. One thing I have learned growing up is “it is not what you know, but who you know”. I look forward to learn how to get career connections and hope I can acquirer great ones. I love learner new things so I can honestly say I look forward to learning all of the unit topics.

This is a wonderful learning skill because I am very organized and I do great with structure. I started this semester by trying to do as much work as I can when the children are asleep.
