A big one being patience and collaboration with other students. I have grown in the ability to ask others for help and believing in the work I produce. I hope in the future I can become not only a better student but a person as a whole as I continue the journey of college with the peers I have made during my time here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/first-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/first-pic.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/first-pic-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/plants.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-656 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/plants.jpg 480w, https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/plants-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>During the start of my second year of CODES I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned that it is okay to take a break for yourself in order to be the best collaborator possible. If you push yourself to your ends meet you cannot continue to give to your team. I have dealt with multiple diversions and obstacles during this semester. Instead of letting this push me away from my group it allowed us to bond and continue to push against hardship. In the future I would like to continue to grow in connecting with others, and looking on the brighter side of dealing with obstacles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/bws-halloween.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/bws-halloween.jpg 320w, https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2026\/02\/bws-halloween-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_sb_is_suggestion_mode":false,"_sb_show_suggestion_boards":false,"_sb_show_comment_boards":false,"_sb_suggestion_history":"","_sb_update_block_changes":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":659,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolio.siue.edu\/lyric-howard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
