Reflection
The individual that I am most like is Matt “the hammer” Hamill. The reason I feel that I am most like him is because he has challenges that he faces like me. My challenges in life are that I am the first of my family to go to college, I also have math and test anxiety which has made school harder for me. Hamill’s challenges are that he is deaf. Even though he is deaf he has proven that he can do anything. He is one of MMA’s best wrestlers to this date. He has proven that just because he is deaf it doesn't mean he can’t do anything he wants. He has given me comfort in knowing that I can achieve my dreams as well.

It is great for me as an instructor to see students reflect and share those with others. I hope the manner in which assessments are given in this class will reduce your anxiety and increase your opportunity to learn and demonstrate what you know and understand about the course.
ReplyDeleteKatelyn, thank you so much for your honesty and raw reflection. I appreciate it so much!! I too am deeply inspired by Matt Hamill because (from documents I've read and interviews I've watched) there was always someone present to tell Matt he couldn't "do it". There was always someone putting him down. However, he fought literally and figuratively and has overcome so many of the challenges he faced. Thank you, again. I really enjoyed reading your reflection!
