Reflection:
Next, in 8 to 10 sentences (one very well-developed and detailed paragraph), explain how your performance in
each of the areas above have contributed to or hindered your ability to meet your goals. Also explain how you
will use this information to improve your academic performance for the remainder of the year.
While the areas above are helpful when achieving goals, all of them are not necessary when wanting to
achieve my goals. However, it does not mean they are useless. The first thing I need to do is use my
resources around me. I can use all my papers I gotten, the flashcards I have made, and use the people
around me to improve my mandarin. I can also use my time management skills to organize when and how I
will study. With a regular schedule, I can better organize other things for other classes or any social events.
Once I am advance enough, I will try to have a normal conversation with my sister as she is a bit more
advance than me in when speaking mandarin. Once I have a normal conversation with my sister, I will try to
have a mandarin only conversation with my teachers, however, that will be next year.
