What most interests you in your life right now?

Objectives

As we begin the semester, I would like to get to know you all a little bit, as well as learn what you think about sustainability. There are no right or wrong answers here! Instead, treat this reflective writing assignment as a way get your mind primed to think about environmental science! Also, this is not a public post, but rather a journal entry that only your professor will read.

Directions

Please write a reflection that is 300 total words or more in length. You will type your reflection directly into a submission box on Canvas. Your reflection will be in response to the following questions:

1. What most interests you in your life right now?
2. What do you think sustainability means?
3. What do you hope to gain from this class?
4. When you are struggling with a concept, how do you come to understand it better?
