Tenaciousness is a competency.
A behavior that I have kept up with for the requirements for this class is making sure to include time for this class into my weekly schedule. My weekdays are busy and Thursday night comes around extremely quickly. I usually try to set aside two separate times in my week to do course assignments.
Tenaciousness is also about attitude.
I felt like giving up a few times over these past two months. I am taking this class because I chose to do so instead of it being a requirement of mine. I am also studying abroad and not currently in Gainesville as I take this class. There have been times where I wanted to just give up and go on my next plane without completing the assignment. With this mindset, I sometimes felt that the tedious work was not worth it. I always strive to do well and aim for high grades and that is what keeps me going. I want to earn a good grade in this class and since every single point is important, I make the decision to work as hard as I can and not miss any assignments.
Three tips:
1. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete assignments. They are quick and easy; they require a lot of thought.
2. Actually, conduct interviews when told to do so because it can really give your insight on a different opinion that you may not have thought of yet.
3. Know in the back of your mind that just because this week’s assignment is over, does not mean that the whole class is over. The assignments are demonstrated for you to keep thinking and digging deeper into your entrepreneurship business.
Hi Rachel! I enjoyed reading your blog post for this assignment. My weekdays are also busy, so I try to set aside one day a week to complete assignments for this course. I related to your stories about almost “giving up” in this course because like you, I chose to take this course out of interest for the subject. I also work extremely hard for my grades and want to do well in my courses. But, it is important to have a tenacious and positive mindset and to never give up! We are halfway there! Great post!
