I used my BCLA Habits of Mind when I wrote my PAR Paper. I had the desire to stay focused and make sure everything was right, I did this paper at my own pace even though it was late, I took my time so it would be right. I had a vision, because I planned out everything first, and made sure everything I said was heard, especially my acknowledgment page. I had the commitment to learning, because there were so many times when I just wanted to give up, but because I was committed to learned, and a good listener, I got through it. My next piece I used was my February Break Assignment, I choose this piece of work because I had the desire to finish this essay. I never do the break assignments and for some reason I did this one and did good on it. I did a lot of critical thinking, because even though I read the Challenge Journal article, I still had to think out how I was going to write it.
