Skills I Would Like to Learn

1. After college I would like to have learned successful note taking skills. My major is Early Childhood Education and I think note taking skills are very important. I will also need to know how to note take for my every day life after college. Learning how to take good notes will keep you more organized in your everyday life.
2. Another skill I would like to have for after college would be organization. Many times at home and at college I am not very organized and I will need to be organized for my job. I will need to have lesson plans typed out and worksheets printed. In my every day life I will need to make sure that all the bills are paid and that I am not spending more money than I have coming in.
3. A third skill I would like to have would be how to work hard and have strong motivation. Sometimes I like to procrastinate and wait until the last minute to do everything. This is not a good skill to have, instead I need to learn to work hard in each class because it will carry over after college. I will need to always stay motivated throughout the school year as a teacher.
4. Another valuable skill I would like to have would be finances. During college many students go in debt from taking out many student loans. I need to learn how to balance my money and learn how to balance out my check book as well. By learning these things, I hope to be successful after college. 
5. The last skill I will want to have will be how to successfully work with others. In college you do a lot of group work in class and you will also need to know how to work with others in your field of work. Going into early childhood education, I know I will need to work with the other teachers in my grade on lesson plans and other activities. I will also need to work with others such as an accountant or others as the need arises in my everyday life.
