I am not sure if I put on here that I was taking an online class for the Fall 2021 semester at UL Lafayette. I decided to take Leadership Communication thinking I would learn how to speak like a leader; Instead it was reading news articles and writing case studies, and learning different leadership styles; which can be helpful too I guess.
I was disappointed at first that it wasn't what I expected, but I still tried my absolute hardest in it. In fact for my first case study, I didn't understand the directions and was overly anxious about it: constantly emailing my professor and asking "is this right? am I on the right track?" Eventually they told me "you are doing fine, stop doubting yourself so much!"
For the end of the semester, we had an extra credit assignment where we studied 2 cases of Hate crimes against People of color (blacks) and against Asians in regards to Covid pandemic. I emailed my professor, asking if I could also include hate crimes against disabilities, they emailed back "While thats a great idea, I'd prefer we stick with the ones I assigned, but thats a great idea to include for my future classes. Thank you for bringing awareness." I felt extra proud in that moment.
I managed to make A's on every assignment. I made an A average through the entire semester! something I had never ever ever done in my history of college (maintain straight A's through the course, sure I had occasional A's in some assignments and my end grade was sometimes A's, but never maintained/constant through the entire course!)
So apparently, I need to go into Communication! LOL. Im just so proud of this accomplishment!
