Is almost the end of the second semester, means that is almost the end of HONR202... However, I believe is just the beginning of our class! As I mentioned before, our class just performed the talent show last week. It was such an unforgettable experience to me, everyone gave their best efforts and tried to give the best show to the audience. I was proudly to say that we made it! Maybe my job was just played a small character, you might think the efforts that I gave was not as much as others. However, the matter was not how big or small the character was, the matter was we were united and worked together to gave our best efforts. Besides, the most important things was we all enjoyed the show and had fun. Everyone smiled at the end of the show and I heard many laughters as well; and when I saw everyone's words on the wechat after the show, I knew that everyone has a really great time!
So far, we has been classmates for about a year and I am glad to be one of the members of this class. When I looked back the journey of this semester, I found out that I changed in some certain way. Before this semester, I was a shy girl that not really wanted to try new things as I stayed in my comfort zone quite ofter. However, through this course, I was willing to challenge myself more often; I think the reason was we often push our limits in class, for instance, dancing, talking to strangers on the street etc. I consider this new attitude very useful since I could not make progress if I keep staying in my comfort zone.
Also, as more opportunities to communicate with people in this course, my communication skill was increased as well. Moreover, I learned that serving others was not a suffer thing; in the past, I consider this as not a good thing, but I changed my mind now:) However, the most valuable thing I has learnt in this course was gratitude. I needed to be thankful to everything, and I found myself has cultivated a habit that I say 'Thank You' to everyone who helped me; for instance, when the cashier checked my grocery, I say thank you to him or her as well.
No matter what, the best thing I has gained in this course was friendship with each other. I became good friends with them and I liked them so much. I am sure we can maintain our friendship after this semester, even after graduation! At the end, I want to give a big thanks to everyone-HC, my classmates and of course Dr. Udani!!
