In response to the 7.5 habits: Thing 1

After viewing the 7.5 habits, the hardest habit for myself would be to "have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner" and the easiest habit would be "begin with the end in mind". Having confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner is going to be a challenge because I tend to second guess myself, even when I am right. The easiest of the habits is beginning with an end in mind because whenever I begin a task I am already thinking how I want it to turn out. This habit, in my opinion, means setting a goal for yourself that you want completed at the end of your task or a certain outcome. Even though it is only the third day of school, I have already thought how I want my grades in my classes to turn out, I am beginning with an end goal in mind for a certain grade. In order to become a lifelong learner, I will have to strive to do better about having confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner and take all 7.5 habits and follow them.
