What I have learned

Before taking this contemporary issues class, I really did not think about what would be covered. I knew that it would be interesting and hopefully better then most of my classes thus far. I was right. However, one important item that I will take with me is; not to be complacent with my own status. I feel I did okay in the class. I blog, yet wait to write responses, I interact but not as much as I should in class. I feel where I got a lot of satisfaction was via the case studies. I believe I learn well with reading others published work, reflecting and then writing about it. As I was starting to say about complacency was: Feeling is though the perfect grade is going to come without any work. I do feel I did a great job with utilizing my video segment for the presentation, but in the back of my mind as the trimester draws to a close, I feel I let myself down, and possibly let my expectations fall for how I want to hold myself as a professional. I have always held my self at a good standard for all that I do. Maybe its that my last few classes before graduation has made me soft. Then again maybe that statement is just an excuse. The class has been very interesting and now when writing this fair well, very helpful. I learned allot about things going on in the foodservice industry and was able to share a bit of my mind. I think the most important lesson I learned is that this industry is a world of its own, and if you don't take a moment to review what is happening you will be left behind.
