PURPOSE

It is not only important to be reflective, but to apply that learning. Practicing this skill will be vital in many parts of your life as you move forward in school and adulthood. This is a process that people repeat throughout their career. On average, adults change jobs 11 times, and that number is only going up. Doing this research and practice will prepare you for that future.

OBJECTIVE
