Reflection

The key takeaways I got from the video as I stated before on the session is that we must continue to learn even after college. Learning is such a fundamental part of life. We learn something new everyday, rather it be small or large, we do learn. I also took away the fact that I am going to have to work extremely hard this time around.

My biggest concern is whether I am going to be able to graduate with the grade level that I need. I am not concerned with my competency in the subject or in the work, but rather my time management. I struggle so much with time management. I always have. I am a huge procrastinator and I know that it gets in the way of a lot of things for me. I am worried, but hopeful that I can remind myself everyday that the work is one of the most important things going on in my life right now. That this work will shape my future and the future of my daughters.

My action plan is to be proactive by making sure I am checking classes way before they are due, that way I can work them into my schedule. I have so much to do and so much on my mind at all times, so this will be very beneficial for me. My vision for my time in the MDMFA program is that it will be difficult and time consuming, but also fun and a great resource to fill up my portfolio. My expected level of commitment is probably 25% of my time, but it may end up being more than that. This number is just what I expect. My long-range goals as a professional media designer are to open up my business as a graphic designer and become one of the best in the industry. I want to be known. I would love to be someone that is written about in a graphic design article. Overall, I want to be successful and a role model.
