Prompt #1: Share something about your schedule that surprised you or you learned about that

will impact your study schedule. How will you adjust your schedule to become a successful
WGU student? Are there activates you will need to cut back or eliminate? How will you build
in the 15-20 hours of study time? Don't forget the impact that small 10-15 minute study
sessions can have on your success.

I will just need to cut back some of my time from watching tv and resting.  It won't be a big
adjustment for me. 

Prompt #2: Please list one short term and one long term goal that you want to accomplish as
it relates to your career and education.

One short term goal is to complete more than the required courses in my first term.  A long
term goal is to complete my degree in less than 2 years. 

Prompt #3: Which of the additional resources introduced in this module might be useful to
you as you complete your degree at WGU? How could you use them?

The WGU mobile app would be useful because I can use it to study when I am out and away
from my computer but have downtime. 

Prompt #4: How will you use the knowledge and skills you obtain during your degree to
contribute to your profession and career?

I will use my knowledge and skills obtained to help me bring new ideas and concepts to
teaching.
