To start, I have med school applications and the MCAT on the horizon as I prepare for med school and work to improve my resume. MCOM 320 is going to be a great addition to my preparation and an interesting chance to learn from the experiences of my classmates and professor.
Communication is such a fundamental part of success. I realized while in class on Thursday how much we can learn about others through the way they dress and speak. Clarity and a desire to communicate clearly can motivate others to do the same. I was motivated and comforted to hear about the expectations and level of knowledge of our other classmates during the first lecture. In other classes I would have sat there, not gotten to know anyone very well and been bored at the prospect of just doing the work that would be placed in front of me in MCOM. I was grateful to get to know everyone and feel that open discussion in the classroom is promoted.
What can I learn from this? That people who communicate with people and work together can have a much more productive and enjoyable experience with their work than those who don't. Hearing from the experiences of Professor Middleton and her knowledge helped me realize how much one person can do when they are motivated to make a difference in the lives of other people. I have it in mind now to speak more with my classmates during lectures in other classes. I also want to be the person who motivates others by his determination and effort. To sum it all up, seemingly small things can make a big difference for people even when they seem insignificant to others.
