Reflection, a word often defined as an image that you can see in a mirror, glass or even water. But reflection can also refer to the act of assessing yourself-your ways of working and how you operate. Because of the independent nature of this particular study abroad program, I have really been able to test and push myself in ways that I normally wouldn’t back home.
I hardly ever go anywhere by myself in Austin, but “Europe Veronica” loves doing solo exploring. I’ve learned that it’s good to set aside alone time for yourself and that you don’t always need to do things with other people.
I think self-reflection is very important. Not only does it help build emotional self-awareness, it also allows you to take the time to reflect and gain a better understanding of the strengths, weaknesses and driving factors in your life.
