These are the new insights I’ve learned about myself during this process: These are the new things I’ve learned about my career options during this process: A possible career pathway for me is to pursue a degree/certificate in: The new insights that I had learned about this process is that when it comes to choosing a career its way more complex than just wanting to choose one thing and then thinking  it’s  an easy road to follow. There are so many different branches that spread out when it comes to choosing a career and it’s never just one specific topic there are many paths within the one you are wanting to do. Such as Engineering, there are multiple paths to take and even more within the specific ones you choose. I have learned about many ways to check information and resources on how to properly search your career and if your skills meet their requirements and what exactly your skills are. I have also been able to learn about the wages and what’s the right for living in Cal...

  To improve my academic performance, I’ll incorporate new strategies into note-taking, studying, and test-taking, each of which aligns with specific strengths and weaknesses I want to address. Using structured approaches and building habits will help me retain information, manage time efficiently, and minimize test anxiety. Note-Taking For note-taking, I’ll use the Cornell Method, which involves dividing the page into three sections: a large note-taking section, a small cue column for keywords or questions, and a summary section at the bottom. I’ve often struggled with organizing my notes, especially during complex lectures. The Cornell Method will help me categorize and prioritize information in a structured way. By writing questions or main ideas in the cue column, I’ll be prompted to engage with the content actively, rather than simply writing down everything verbatim. The summary section at the bottom will push me to consolidate my understanding right after the lecture, mak...
