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. :)

Reflection 4

Hey! You hahaha

Hey, it has been a long time since we talked, there so many things that have happened. For example, am attending college now, which I have to arrange myself new goals to accomplish.  There are different types of goals I have, from long-term to short-term ones, from personal ones to achievements for the future, but the one I am focusing the most on is the ones dealing with my education. Long-term goals are difficult to achieve because of the time it takes to accomplish them. My long-term goal is to get my AA degree in Fullerton College; this means that I have to sit myself serious of smaller goals that are going to help me get to my long-term goal. I word like to get my AA degree in the next 2 years if not 3 years the maximum. To minimize the years I need to get all the units and classes I need each semester. This starts with my mid-term goal, I have to make sure that I get all of the units I need per semester. To complete a goal I have to make such I get the classes I need. If I do not get the classes, I need each semester it adds another semester to schedule. The final thing I need to do to make sure I do not add semesters has to do with my short-term goals. This is passing all of my classes with a B or better. To pass all of my classes I would need to study long hours and pay attention to my instructors as much as possible. This would help me get to my mid-term, which is going to lead me to my long-term goal. Anyway, this is one of the things I am working on right know; hope to talk to you soon. :)
