Task
The assignment was to reflect on myself through an introspection, which is intended to help me understand myself better. I wrote about how I personally view myself in all aspects. Factors that shaped me into the person I am today, along with my future plans were included. My environment as in family and neighborhood definitely played a huge role. It not only effected me by making me into such a strong willed person, but it also effected my future plans. Since I became adapted to taking on challenges, that enabled me to want to be challenged when it comes to school. This lead me into taking AP courses, and AP Psychology happened to be one of them. A better reasoning into why I had taken up the course of AP Psychology was to be furthered explained in my Introspection.
Benefits
From the assignment, I leaned how to write an introspection and what an introspection consists of. I've come to learn why it's so important in psychology. Since psychology is based on research, focus is placed on research experiments and analysis of behaviors. To understand this I needed to understand myself, which is where an introspection would come into play.
Likes/Dislikes
If I was to do something differently to my assignment, I would have elaborated on what I expected to gain from the course and why I close to take it. These two paragraphs were by far the shortest paragraphs I had on my paper. However, I did like how I expressed my personal interests clearly as well as what I think shaped me in becoming who I am today.
