A Little Biography and Response

Hi, I am Rebecca, though many of my friends call me Kebba. I am from Charlotte and am excited for my junior year. I come from an ethnically diverse family, which you are completely fine to ask about. I am the oldest of four children and the first to leave home. I am a double major in Film and International Studies as well as a Film Chair for ACE.

I am really excited for this year in Visions and I am grateful to be given such an amazing opportunity. What I am looking forward to  most this year is growing in my planning and event execution. I am ready to learn several different aspects of Visions in order to provide the most help that I can for all involved. I am most excited about how it will feel to look back at the end of this year and reflect on all of the work that we have accomplished.

Watching the first tutorial video and completing the reading was a great thought-provoking task. I can truly relate to feeling overextended. If one only looked at my calendar, they would see that it is packed from Monday to Friday. The reading served as a great reminder that there is only so much work you can do in a day and it's important to delegate what you cannot accomplish. The Eisenhower Matrix brought up a great point on making sure to write down the tasks that you need to avoid doing.


I have used Google Drive for a few years so I thought that the tutorial was helpful in filling any gaps
that I didn't know about. As a user of Outlook Calendar, I thought that Google Calendar was very efficient. I copied all of my meetings over to Google Calendar very easily.
