My Most Memorable Experience In College

Overall i enjoyed last semester even though it wasn’t the best for me,it was a good experience. So.So now when i look back i know what not to do so my grade won’t ever be as low or get to the point to where it was in first semester.It’s always good to go through things like this so it won’t happen again.I have been acknowledged to know now to get all my participation points,notes and get all the reading we tend to have done,this semester. You live and you learn and i learned a lot last semester which made it even more enjoyable the whole

The first semester was definitely a make It or break it for students. I came into this program not realizing how much time and effort is put into this program. I had to become very disciplined with my time and focus only on the program. There have been many nights of no sleep and no eating to maintain the grades that I have now. Currently, for the spring semester, I have all A's which will bring my GPA up from a 3.484 to a 3.6 or higher. The main goal to succeed in this program is to study, manage your time and to discipline yourself. I am a person that enjoys to overcome new challenges in life. This program has been such a challenge but I am almost halfway there. I promised my family and myself that I will continue to successfully progress in this program no matter what obstacles comes in my way. All of this will be worth it in the end. In the next year, I will be graduating the Radiology Program with an Honors Associates Degree. From there, I will continue my education at Chattanooga State Community College to get my Certification for Radiation Therapy to help patient's with their struggle to overcome cancer. After a year, I will then get my Certification for

My first semester as a college freshman is finally coming to an end. This semester has been the start to a new chapter in my life and I am glad to have finally finished my first semester on a high note. Coming into college I never knew what things would be like and how would I adjust. All I knew is that I wanted to succeed and eventually graduate college. The courses I have taken this semester have had big impact on my learning and my future. Assignments that taught skills and lessons to be used in the future. I have learned skills such as being able to collaborate in groups because of projects in ASU 150.

Since the start of the semster I have learned many different things about myself and how I can become a better student all around. Summer classes can fly by fast and doesn’t feel like a real semester. That it is just to get credit and move on to the next semester. That was not the case for me this summer semester because I needed to think about the rest of my college career. This summer semester is my first one coming back from academic suspension and I took last semester at South Plains College and Tarrant County College. I did really well making a 3.00 GPA overall and am most likely going to make a 3.5 this semester. This will be a huge boost to my overall GPA. The point is am at the point where I am ready to graduate and will try my hardest to get the best grades I can. I really just changed my mindset towards college and the way I prepare for tests and studying.

Overall, my first semester has been going pretty well. The semester is going like a roller coaster up, down, and fast. I have some bad days and some good days. Through this semester, I have many challenges I faced which I honestly did not want to face. Even though I just wanted to dodge or run away from the challenges, I still face them and fought through them. Some challenges I face this semester, hopefully not in the next, are procrastination, time management, and laziness. I have not only gone through challenges; I have also gone through successes. I am proud of turning assignments on time, passing tests and quizzes, completing my SCR points, and being involved in clubs. Being in Biomed has helped me grow as a student in the area of knowledge.

Another big decision I made, was to move my Children of the American Revolution State project to the Museum of the Southeast American Indian, which means I will not be traveling for CAR, as I was doing in the Spring. This project being located somewhere on my campus means I will be able to check in on the project whenever I need be around my class and study schedule. Even though its hard to stay away from people you have been with friends with for several years, I have realized how important having the right friends are this semester. Which is why I chose roommates who have positive goals and they set their goals and work towards them. These are the people, I need to be around to keep myself positive and working towards my own goals. In the course of the semester I have weeded out friends that are no longer worth my attention because they don't support my goals. One of these goals is to graduate and eventually earn my Doctorate in Education. My career goals, really have made me realize that I have to put aside organizations and a social life to achieve what I have my mind set

Now that I have completed my first half of the semester in Montclair State University, I feel like I have accomplished a lot within these past few weeks. My goals for this semester was to start off academically strong, make new friends, trying new things, find a major, and getting out of my comfort zone. So far, I have accomplished more than half of my goals. I am doing well in my classes, exploring new places, and I met the greatest group of people I can be friends with.

This semester was a handful with working on major projects, writing thesis papers, performing in my drama class and completing my first SAT. Out of all my assignments, one project that stood out was my Civil Rights project, I was as able to enhance my skills for academic success by writing an out of compliance letter to a handful of restaurants. I also go involved in other projects which led me attend a Denim Day Rally.

In the second semester of my sophomore year, I have been able to pass all my classes. I also finished taking the AP exam for my AP European History class. During this semester I have grown as a student in my skills for academic success in computer science; we made webpages using HTML and CSS language. I have also grown in my ability to communicate ideas by presenting a Prezi slideshow to my English class and classmates; the presentation was about a book we read in class in our groups.

Time flies, the first term of my freshmen year is almost to the end. When I first got into college, I didn't know what to do as a college student. It was hard during the first two weeks of my freshmen year. Not to mention, It was right after a long summer's vacation. I was extremely lazy about everything and couldn't focus on school work. After almost failing my first mid-term, I realized I need to focus on studying. I began to get back on track and finished work before the deadline. As time passed, I could still remember when I first got into the Freshmen Inquiry class I was struggling and now my Freshmen Inquiry class is working on our last project of the term and our group is doing great. During Freshmen Inquiry class, I learned many things.

This past semester I have learned many things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I believe that many of the things I learned worked in the favor of my future yet there a few things that I realized are not in my control. Hopefully your first year is just as successful but if not always remember two things; life is what you make it and you determine your identity.

This semester proved to be the most difficult for me. I thought prior semesters were difficult; juggling my family’s declining health, school work, my teaching career, my two children and my marriage, however it became even more challenging. The death of my mother has been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Be that as it may, I am thankful that I had my classwork to help keep me busy. It was part of my base line that stayed the same when everything else around me fell apart and changed. I was thankful for the group work, classmates, and peer review buddies that gave me words of encouragement and an outlet to vent. In the entirety of my counseling degree program I feel the one thing I have learned is that no matter what happens

College is all about establishing one’s foundation in their courses and life in general. During this first semester here at Oklahoma Baptist University, I have laid down the individual bricks of decisions that will help support my future. The decisions prior to college are great, but the decisions made within this first semester have a long-term impact because one must decide what to major in, what groups to associate with, and events to participate in. Thankfully with personal strengths, I am have been able to set goals for this semester and work to achieve them. While there have been many challenges this semester, I have devoted time into establishing the groundwork for my future.

I feel that I had an exceptional freshman fall semester. Throughout the semester I attended meetings of various organizations such as African Student Association, Maryland Association of Black Journalists, Real Talk, and The Collective UMD (of which I joined the E-board). At the end of the semester, I finished with a 3.87 GPA. Not only was I able to stay on top of my grades, but I was also able to explore, which is essential for freshman. During the fall, I was able to find out what worked for me and what did not work for me in terms of interests and study habits. For instance, I realized my Math 111 TA was not very useful, and so I decided to sit in another Math 111 class with a different teacher for most of the semester. I ended the class with an A, which was also attributed to study groups and tutoring from AAP and OMSE. I feel that the summer transitional program and AAP prepared me for a heavy workload which made my classes more manageable, adding to the fact that I was only taking 12 credits. In the fall, I was able to grasp the college experience in one semester and try my best which is why I feel I did well.

My greatest accomplishment thus far, has been getting high grades in college. Accomplishing this required: patience, dedication, tenacity, stamina, and confidence. It took patience because there were long hours that were dedicated to homework and studying. It took dedication because I had to continually tell myself that it would be worth it, even when it was difficult. It took tenacity because I knew that I couldn't accept anything less than my best. It took stamina because there were a lot of late nights and just a lot of time in general to complete everything that was required of me. Lastly, it took confidence because if I didn't believe that I could, it would have made it a million times harder.
