Semester Reflection This past semester has been a journey with many ups and downs, but as I look back, I realize that I have met many of the goals I set for myself. Some of the goals I set at the beginning of the semester were to lengthen my achilles, show more emotion when dancing, and create my own unique style. Now that I am reaching the end of the semester, I feel accomplished because I know I have worked to my best abilities. I also feel that I have met many of the goals I have set and in doing so, have become a better dancer and performer. I know I met my goals based on the comments I received from my teachers and peers. Two of my teachers noticed that my jumps were getting better because I was landing my heels when I did a plie. This

    So far this year, I felt pretty satisfied with my progress this semester. I feel like I am slowly adapting to the new way papers and assignments are handled. All my college work depends solely on me now. No one is going to baby me anymore and whether I succeed or fail depends on how much effort I put into something. For the first time in my life I wrote a paper. Not just a five paragraph essay but actual pages, which is extremely challenging. It’s also been my first time studying for five hours straight so I can pass an actual test. I didn’t know I possessed this level of dedication, it’s probably because it isn’t free.

    For my senior talk, I would want to go into how out of place I felt when I came to Georgetown freshman year. Coming from a public school in Iowa, I felt like I wasn’t smart enough to even compare myself with students coming from preparatory schools on the East Coast. Moreover, I felt like they belonged to an exclusive network of private schools, and thus all knew each other even before NSO. I withdrew; I was scared of putting myself out there, of taking risks and stepping outside my comfort zone. I indulged in unhealthy habits, like clinging to my friends from home and long-distance high school boyfriend. But my closest friend of all freshman year was my eating disorder. Instead of joining clubs, I went to the gym twice a day. Instead of going out with people, I sat in my room and cried over how fat I was, despite being underweight. And like a typical Georgetown student

  • Dance Reflection Essay

    1193 Words  | 3 Pages

    I found this semester to be really helpful in providing insight about my own body. I was not only able to learn about a new kind of exercise, but I was able to focus on specific areas that I need to strengthen in order to improve upon my dancing. My pre-class workouts allowed me to target areas in which I need to have a little more mental thought to engage them properly in class. Taking the time for myself to warm up my body with the workouts allowed those muscle groups to be on my mindset throughout the class. Then, as I was going through class, it was easier for me to concentrate on other aspects of my dancing as well. Through this experience, I gained a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses in my body. Some of my strengths I identified include my core and my back. These are areas that always need improvement but there one of the stronger parts of my body that I do not always need constant mental effort in order to engage them during class. However, while my core overall is pretty strong, I need to work on my supporting side. My oblique muscles are an area
