Being new to anything comes with challenges- what determines your success is your approach whether you tackle it headstrong or take the easy road. Throwing myself into a course where I have so many plans and goals to achieve by the end is a strength to put in the extra effort. I believe your environment and your surroundings impact on your ability to learn- therefore being in a room full of people in the same boat with similar interests and issues, approaching tasks becomes more comfortable. I want to learn what my strengths and weaknesses are. I tend to assume rather than ask. For me to understand completely and get the most out of this course I need to speak louder, try harder and make lots and lots of mistakes. I would like to make more mistakes so I can experience more and therefore explore without a narrow view.
