Almost There.
It's the half-way mark in the semester and all I've been hearing from my professors is, "This is the hardest part of the semester guys." I think back at the beginning of the semester and realized how excited I was to start school once more. I had taken almost two years off from school and the transition, at first, was a bit of a challenge. I had to readjust my entire mentality of time balance. No longer were night marathons on Netflix acceptable. I had to make time to study for the classes I would take. Currently I see my Psychology class a bit more of a challenge than any other class. Dr.C was straightforward in the beginning of the semester and said that her class would not be a push over class like we hoped it would be. Since all the other intro classes I've taken have been a breeze, I assumed this one would be no different; little did I know that I was in for a treat. Off the bat she as singed a seven page minimum research paper to be done APA style. I had no idea what that was, i mean i had heard of it before but not once did i do an APA format paper just MLA which i was accustomed to doing since high-school. Nonetheless, I got it done.
Apart from Psychology, I also have English R101, Art Appreciation R101 and Environmental Science Resource and Managements R100. As of right now, I like them all. I never thought that I would ever become a full-time student in college, but here I am doing just that. I always knew college was more work and in a way tried to anticipate it, yet I still see my self from time to time wondering what happened to the time I had before the homework or project was due.
College is a bit of a challenge but i don't let it get the best of me, on the contrary, I keep reminding me that I am doing this for myself and for my future children. This allows me to re-focus and get back in the groove of things. I believe that if an individual has no self-motivation, they have nothing. Nothing great is achieved without sacrifice, the time and effort i put in each class is that price I am paying now to prevail tomorrow.
