Welcome to my blog!
Throughout this semester, I will share reflections, assignments, and lessons I learn in COMM 310. This blog documents my growth as a writer, communicator, and future communications professional. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy following my learning journey.
July 5, 2026 (A Challenging Student)
This week, I taught a student who found it difficult to stay focused during our online lesson. She often became distracted and did not follow my instructions, which made it challenging to keep the class on track. Although I felt frustrated at times, I reminded myself that every student has a different learning style and requires patience. This experience taught me to remain calm, adapt my teaching approach, and continue looking for ways to help every student succeed.
July 6, 2026 (Learning from Feedback)
This week, I also had a discussion with my manager about managing the time during my lessons. The feedback focused on making sure that each activity stays within the scheduled class time. At first, I felt discouraged because I know that every student learns at a different pace, and it can be difficult to balance teaching effectively while staying on schedule. After reflecting on the conversation, I realized that constructive feedback is an opportunity to improve, and I will use it to become a more organized and effective teacher.
July 7, 2026 (Feeling Overwhelmed)
This week was emotionally and mentally exhausting because I had many responsibilities to balance. Between teaching, preparing lessons, completing schoolwork, and managing my personal responsibilities, I often felt overwhelmed. There were moments when I questioned whether I was managing my time effectively, but I reminded myself that growth often comes through challenges. This experience encouraged me to work on my time-management skills and to take better care of my well-being.
July 8, 2026 (Trusting God During Challenges )
This week I was reminded of the need to be patient and compassionate when teaching, as well as imparting knowledge. When things were difficult I prayed for direction and had to keep in mind that each student had their own needs and abilities and were all a child of God. This experience helped build my faith and gave me a reminder that, “People are like Jesus!”, when I treated them well it was a reflection of Jesus Christ. I wish to work on cultivating more Christ-like traits as I mature myself and in my work.
July 9, 2026 (A Week of Growth)
Looking back on this week, I realize that it has been one of the most challenging weeks since I began teaching online. I experienced difficult classes, received constructive feedback, and struggled to balance all of my responsibilities. Even though I felt discouraged at times, I also learned valuable lessons about patience, resilience, and continuous improvement. I know I still have much to learn, but every challenge helps me become a better teacher, communicator, and professional.
