One meaningful assignment that I completed during my undergraduate experience was the Personal Leadership Philosophy Paper that was assigned in the Management of Health Service Organizations (PBHL-H375) course taught by professor Steven Reed. Writing this paper was meaningful because it allowed me to think about which leadership philosophies and theories aligned with my specific leadership style that I want to possess in my future career. I plan to look back on this paper in the future when reaching various milestones in my career to reflect on how far I have grow as a leader in healthcare and where I am then.
The second meaningful assignment that I completed during my undergraduate experience was the Reflection paper that was assigned in the Operations Management and Quality Improvement (PBHL-H345) course taught by professor Jeff Byrum. Completing this assignment was meaningful because I am very interested in a career in operations management and quality improvement and I was able to reflect and shine light on what I learned throughout the course. This paper asked me to write about 3 things that I learned from the class that I felt like I needed to professionally improve on, as well as 3 action items on how I can address these things. Another reason this was a very meaningful assignment was because I was able to write a letter to my future self that I could look back at in about 20-25 years when I am hopefully excelling at my chosen profession.
