Reflection 5

It is the middle of the semester and this is when we start seeing students disappear and classrooms get smaller. I do not understand why students cannot just finish the semester when they know that they are halfway done. One of the things that keeps me motivated to finish this semester is knowing that if I drop a class it could be like throwing away my parents money and I can’t do that to them. My parents would be mad and disappointed as well. Another reason that keeps me motivated is that I like the classes am taking. I like the professors, each one so different from the others, even though some students might not like a certain professor because of his or her character I still find it interesting to get to know each one of them. Even though I don’t like all the homework they gave us my last motivation would be, knowing that I would get bored at home doing nothing if I didn’t had school. I like to stay active and do different stuff, and try new things, not just stay at home and do nothing. Anyway, these are some of the things that keep me motivated here in school and help me focus in finishing this semester.  Oh and I like meeting new people too. :)
