Introduction
As we reach the midterm I look back on the many thing that I have learned. I think I’ve really excelled on group work and bringing people together, also I think when it comes to participation i’m always the first to engage. Some things that I struggle with and need to put more wore into is my writing assignment and responding to everyones prompts. I feel as though I still have a lot of growth left to get my writing to where it needs to be.
As the Term comes to an end I look back on my productive semester and all the things I learned. One of the things that I have learned this semester is how to make presentations in front of people. Each presentation that I made had a different affect on me in terms of what I learned and how I felt about them. There were some presentations that were a lot easier to do because I was in front of people that I knew, but other presentations were a lot more difficult because I had a set amount of time to get my message across so finding the right words to say was difficult. Overall I feel as though my presentation skills have improved for the better.
Goal 1 (40%)

[When we traveled to Alton, IL we stumbled upon a meeting that was happening at the boy and girls club. As we sat there, we were asked a few questions that required us to really think hard. When it came to answering I went last and made sure everyone had an opportunity to say what they needed and listened to what they said. When it came my turn to speak, I answered the question while building upon what everyone said and bringing it to a conclusion]
