I am most intrigued by the Storytelling core assignments in this class. After reading a couple storybooks from prior students, I think creating these stories provides me the opportunity to explore my creative side by creating my own story based off the assigned reading. Sadly, in many of my engineering courses I feel that the assignments were done with the intent of the approval of the professor rather than to actual learn and immerse myself with the content. With the Storytelling assignments in this class, there is no "one correct answer" in these stories. I have the opportunity to explore my creativity by diving into my own thoughts and opinions then share it with the class. While being creative in this way is new to me, I am excited to explore this new side. I think that this is my favorite aspect of the class - the fact that there is not a recipe to be a perfect student, rather, writing our own thoughts is sufficient.
Looking into the extra credit options, I am very interested in the HEART option. I really like the acronym of H.E.A.R.T. (health and happiness, empathy, attention, reading, time). This acronym can be applied to more than class but also personal life. At different points of my life, I have the tendency to focus on one of the five items and disregard the other four. However, I hope that by exploring the HEART extra credit assignments, I will learn how to balance all five items at once.
