Personal Reflection

The Personal Reflection component of the First Year Experience is designed to help you draw connections between your educational experiences and your personal growth and quality of your life. Nashville State recognizes that the value of education is more than just the skills and knowledge gained; part of the value is in our growth as people. The Personal Reflection lets you focus on this growth over the course of the First Year, giving you a sense of accomplishment as you look back on how far you have come.

"I learned a lot about myself and the progress I feel I made. From my first semester of college to now there is a difference in effort and understanding. I actually put forth the effort because I understand where my end goal is. The benefits of reflecting on these questions is a reminder. Sometimes we lose sight of things but reflecting reminds me why I am doing this."
