Think back to the five SMART goals you created earlier in the term. Write a reflection paper following APA format and consisting of 750-1000 words in length. Then, create a 5–7-minute reflection video using the word document which evaluates each SMART goal that you created. Use Teams, Zoom, or Canvas Studio’s Screen Capture feature to record your presentation. Your face must be visible on camera (in the corner as you present your paper). You must introduce yourself and show your identification. You must dress professionally or your presentation will not be graded.
Use the following questions to guide your response:
What were you expecting from the experience before you started?
Why were you expecting this?
Why did you choose this goal?
Did you learn anything about a different group in society (i.e., different age, profession, ethnic, racial or socio-economic group)? What did you learn?
What is the most valuable experience you acquired?
What impact did the experience have on your everyday life?
What did you learn that was directly related to your course objectives?

Demonstrates significant personal growth and awareness of deeper meaning through inferences made, examples, well developed insights, and substantial depth in perceptions and challenges. Synthesizes current experience into future implications.
Word Document: All sections of the assignment are completed fully and described in the word document in great detail. The word document is 750-1000 words in length.
Use of Citations, Writing Mechanics and APA Formatting Guidelines: The reference page contains at least the required current scholarly academic reference and text reference.
