New Year, New Start. As 2022 comes, it's time to make a reflection, change your study plan and goals. Recently, I have made some updates on my study system.
I have made a lot of achievements so far in 2021 under heavy pressure and more courses, but there is still something to be improved in the new year.
My Reflection in 2021
First, I am going to tell you my reflections on 2021. While there are still some improvements to be made later on, I have made a lot of achievements.
Reflection plays an important role for students because they can make room for some improvements while studying.
You can make reflections at the end of the lesson, day, week, month and year. This will encourage and motivate you to be better.
