The Greatest Lesson I learned from someone was that hard work and perseverance will be rewarded. I learned this from my mother, who raised me by herself after my father and her got divorced. She worked long hours and it definitely made a large impression on my own work ethic. Eventually, she was rewarded with several promotions and considerable pay increases. She never failed to show me that these achievements were directly related to the hours of hard work she put into her career.
I have learned what my strengths are through this class. It forced me to look within and determine what I have to offer a potential employer. I have realized that one of my strongest assets is my ability to communicate effectively. Not that I was unaware of this ability before I took this class, but this experience has certainly helped me realized how to use this characteristic to my advantage more so. I have learned how to leverage this ability to my advantage better and use this has helped both my personal and professional development.
