With each ATI assessment I felt like I made improvements in my test taking skills and strategies.  I think my test scores showed this too as we progressed through the semester.  By remediating each exam, examining my thought process, and then taking extra practice exams, I felt like I was able to find strategies that worked best for me and that brought out the best in me.  However, with that being said, there are still improvements to be made.  One thing that I am still working on is finding the right testing pace.  Too many times during my remediations I found myself reading a question and seeing that I missed a word or phrase because I was going too fast.  This hurt my scores because there were questions that I knew the answer to but just interpreted wrong.  This will be an area I continue to work on as I prepare for licensure. 

   Reflecting on this past semester I am very proud of what I have been able to accomplish.  Without a doubt, this semester has been the most challenging yet also the most rewarding.  Between managing football, schoolwork, and my personal life I have made great strides in my work ethic, my time management skills, and staying organized.  I have also learned more about myself and different self-care techniques that work for me.  I am confident that this experience has prepared me for the world ahead and any obstacle that may be thrown my way.   I am excited to apply what I have learned at this University to my future and continue to grow.
