It is now the end of September, and there are about four weeks left in this semester.
After these next four weeks, I will personally be in the home stretch for finishing out my associates degree here at Hesser College. To think back over a year ago how I thought about the pursuit of my dreams, I was not sure how it would go. Sure, I feel like my life experiences and my background and determination would help me get pretty far with my degree, but I was still unsure about where I would end up.
Since I have been at Hesser, I have accumulated fairly decent grades--all As and Bs. I've had a fairly easy time with the work load. I have kept a routine with my work, and I try not to get flustered. I make sure my work gets completed and that I study for midterms and finals when necessary. I try to stay consistent and pace myself with my work. That way I do not fall behind. I have done all I can to make sure I do well in school. For me, there was no room for failure.
It has been a long road and a lot has happened in my life in the last two-to-three years. To some, they would think it was a miracle I made it even this far. I have surprised myself. I set goals, and I have nearly completed them, although I have many more goals I want to accomplish. I have learned a lot about myself, and feel I still have much more to learn.
This media writing class has been the most challenging so far at Hesser, yet it is slowly becoming the most rewarding of all the classes I have taken. I have pushed myself hard through some difficult times, and to see how far I have come has surprised myself. I will have two classes left here at Hesser after these next few weeks, and I am halfway done with my externship, which I have thouroughly enjoyed.
I am excited to see what the next few months bring, and I am eager to see just how much all this work will pay off. I stayed positive. I have had ups and downs and even doubted what I was doing at times. But, when I keep asking myself why I am doing this, deep down I know the answer is that I could never give up.
Congratulations! It's tougher than some people realize to juggle work and school. Going two nights a week doesn't seem much to some people, but they don't understand that because they are night classes they are more work in less time.

night classes seems light, but it is heavy as far as the course load goes. Teachers do this because its eight weeks and there is so much to cover.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on staying on top of it all, you will definitely see it pay off.
best of luck.
