Reflection

            I learned a lot from this class. I only took this class as a general education class that I heard was way easy. I ended up learning a lot from this class. I learned how to communicate in every relationship, how to stay out of certain situations, work well with your partner so your marriage will be easier etc. The assignments I posted as my signature assignments were about how to handle money with your spouse, and working parents. These two had an impact on me because the handling money showed me how many options you have to work with your spouse on money situations. I liked the idea of having an allowance every week to buy what you “want” you can split the difference for things you “need.”The working parents had an impact on me because I had to look at other options, my ideal living situation when I am married with kids is to have my husband work and I stay with the kids. I will work from home with my business I plan to own. This assignment forced me to look at more options.

            I faced challenges of getting out of my “mind set” and looking around for better, different options. I have a hard time looking at new things when I know exactly what I want! I chose these assignments to put on here because they made a difference in my life. I wanted to post something that was a little harder for me to do. It demonstrates how I can look past what I want and look for new and more challenging opportunities! I feel like I can handle new situations as they are thrown at me when I have a relationship. I need to watch what I say, have an open mind to new things, pay close attention to my nonverbal communication to others. Overall this class was great and taught me a lot for the future!
