Reflection
This semester was my very first semester at Salt Lake Community College. It was also
my first semester of college in 3 years. I can’t lie I was very nervous about starting school up
again and I did not feel ready at all. I had a full-time job and had been married for a year. I didn’t
know if I would be able to handle the stress of 3 classes in my first semester. I felt so
overwhelmed with all the stresses of life. I remember once classes started I was most anxious
about this Chemistry class. I looked at the schedule and my thought was oh my gosh, There are
so many assignments every week. With all that said I was determined to do my best and to be
Now that I have completed my first semester I feel very accomplished. It may not seem
like I’ve done a lot to some people, but it means so much to me and I am very proud. I was able
to hover around 90% in each of my classes. I worked so hard and it paid off in such a big way. I
now feel very motivated to graduate with an Associates degree and then pursue a Bachelors
degree, which I really didn’t have much motivation towards. Although I am proud of myself for
doing good in both of my other classes, but I am most proud of myself for my performance in
this class.
Science has never been one of my favorite subjects. I do love Math and feel like I can
excel at those parts of chemistry, but I’m not so confident in all the terminology and
experimentation that goes into Chemistry. I loved how organized the class was. Although there
were a lot of assignments I felt I could get them all done and pace myself. I had a really good
start to the year with my assignments. I put so much effort into preparing for the first unit test. I
was so happy yet surprised when I got a 90% on the test. After that point I knew that if I put all
my effort into the class, I would be able to get a grade I felt good with.
Chemistry Reflection
There were a lot of different lessons within Chemistry that I enjoyed and exceled at. I
loved Chapter 5 and being able to learn more about the elements in the periodic tables and how
to put them into compounds. I really enjoyed Chapter 6 for its teachings about Chemical
equations and how to write and balance them. By far my favorite chapters were 8 and 9.
Learning about moles was very interesting to me and I loved all the different calculations that
In the end, I’m very appreciative of what this class did for me. It showed me that I can do
hard things. It showed me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I feel that I have gained
quite a bit of knowledge from this class that can transition into the real world for me. I’m glad I
took this class and learned so much about Chemistry but more importantly about myself.
