Vue College Success Final Presentation

Hello.

My name is Ashley Vu.

My presentation is called my Growth This semester.

Before I start, I'd like to give a brief introduction of myself.

I was born in Akron, Ohio, but born and raised pretty much in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

About a year ago. I moved to Washington, Washington State.

And, um, it was a huge, huge

opportunity for me. Um, that allowed me to

mature in many ways.

And of course, it was a true adventure of growth for myself.

New places, new discoveries.

Moving from us from Washington back to a new city in Wisconsin was huge because,

like in Washington, I had to

find new ways

to cope with

many things and many aspects of life.

I need

I need to re find

places that gave peace and relaxation that was huge.

And and that is huge, especially in college life.

Also in finding new adventures,

because that pretty much is the same thing.

You know, those adventures bring peace and relaxation and much,

much needed simulation,

and the last one is finding new structure.

And that is very important because structure is going

to be a key aspect throughout this presentation.

My first quote is The best way to predict your future is to create it.

Abraham Lincoln.

My picture is a person pushing the s in success.

And it is symbolic in many ways

discovering self motivation.

The equation given

in the textbook is V times V equals and value times Expectation equals motivation.

The example in the book is Chinese mothers place a high value on education.

According to Ruth K. Chaw,

I like this example because it is true many, many, many families place a high value on

I'm sorry on education, and I think that is important

from my personal example, though

My mom single father worked his butt off the way he knew

providing for a family of seven.

But he did not put much value into education.

Granted, he didn't have much education himself as he

I was born in Laos and came to the States

as a mere teenager while,

um, while going through a whole war, um,

education is something that he just didn't know, Um as much.

Therefore he cannot help

knowing now the sacrifices my people have made for my

opportunity opportunity today to increase the value in which I have

was very important in understanding where value comes from.

I think expectation is,

is for me already a given because I know my strengths. I know what I can do.

But it's the value part that gets me kind of choked

up and using this formula and using ways to increase value,

um, given from the textbook is huge and was very, very helpful.

So using the newfound self motivation throughout my college career and job career,

it's going to be key

as self motivation is very important for success,

especially in college,

developing emotional intelligence. So my short,

um, summary of of history of self doubt,

um, is very important because understanding where

mine stems from is, um, is it how to start, how to navigate

to go around it and how to, um,

recognize and grow from those self doubts?

So one example was sophomore year in high school. I played basketball, and, um,

I I blamed a lot of, um,

so I put a lot of blame on my coach and granted, even though he was, um,

fired the next year for other reasons.

I use a lot of a victim mindset, and I blame Tame,

and I never really put it on myself and never really, um,

self recognized my own emotional intelligence.

And the truth is, I myself was self telling myself, and

it is not healthy in any way. So recognizing negative behaviors

was huge learning.

Learning this in in this master is huge because that leads to I mean,

that could be seen as stress feeling overwhelmed, anger anxious

and learning how to go about those and

knowing that those are universal emotional aspects of life

how to navigate around it.

So choosing new behaviors and thoughts like separation breaks on distraction

of of attention. Yoga. Um, these were all

examples on how to work around those emotions

and

using these new behaviors in the forthcoming semesters of, um, sorry for success.

Um, is again seeming, um, yoga.

Yoga really helped me throughout this semester as they let me kind of

cool down and take a step back.

Um, and that's one of many ways I plan to use it.

Use it in the forthcoming semesters for success

accepting personal responsibilities.

Yeah,

understanding choice is the main ingredient to personal responsibilities.

I took that straight from the book

because I believe this was very important, especially when trying to

work on all your personal responsibilities.

Choice is something rooted into the American mind.

Um, freedom of choice, being of speech, religion.

It's something that I think it's a privilege that we we use too much.

Um, and we become kind of naive.

And I'm speaking from experience from my life because I would agree that I

may use it too much and I don't actually accept

personal responsibility is the way I should This semester really,

really, really helps me into understanding

how to navigate and how to accept

and work on those personal responsibilities.

So, like again having a creator mindset,

help me utilize my, um, critical thinking and

in ways

it lets you see

and, um, navigate

those solutions in which I need to do in a timely fashion.

So those personal responsibilities, um,

which in my experience this semester was creating

a positive and successful structure in school,

and that translates to creating a weekly planner that translates to having, um,

study sessions.

It was just so so important

in my in my successful adventure of college,

managing my time in creating a successful structure in college life.

Like I said,

I want to um

it is key,

and I hope I can keep using these skills and

these structures that I have made myself in the future

because they are very, very important personal responsibilities,

especially as a student.

Mhm.

Don't let failure go to your heart. And don't let success go to your head. Will Smith.

A choice is quote because it kind of

ties into this album cover from Kendrick Lamar and it says Humble,

this album is obviously amazing, but it, um,

hits a point of emphasis of the word humble, Um,

and that that is something that I hope I can continue to be.

And I hope it translates into my work ethic into my life into my career into how I act.

Um, everything

continuation, of course content.

I must keep using these skills I have obtained

to continue to push through my long journey ahead.

Um, And then I quote the picture. I have jobs still not done.

And, um, to end this presentation,

um, I ended up with two of my, um, two of my favorite, I guess current, um, and past, uh,

NBA players. And that's Kobe Bryant.

And his quote is Job's still not finished job still not finished? I don't think so.

And the next one is Damian Lillard from last year.

Jobs still not jobs still ain't done. Our work ain't done.

And they're talking about their, um, goals as an NBA player, and it's

hits a point of their mentality. And you get to see,

um, from what they say, where their head's at, and I think that is a mindset and and

in mentality. Um, really emphasized from this class.

And I cannot wait to keep you utilizing those skills in this critical thinking and,

um,

hope I can continue this in the future.

And

I think that, uh, concludes my presentation,

Thank you very much.
