Reflection About Moving To University

The challenge in first semester was not the actual work,the challenging part for me was having to get it all done and have it turned in on its due date.For example not having “To Kill A Mockingbird” notes and the reading that came with it.I know i am capable of passing this class i just don’t put the effort into all of my work but this semester I am going to stop slacking off and and actually get my work done and have it all due on its due date.

A third challenge I will be facing is time management. One of my most important roles in life is being a mother and a wife. Even though my family is very supportive of my decision to go back to school, I recognize that I must set aside time to share with them. I have set up a weekly calendar helping me

In this analysis of the two core reading “How I bluffed my Way Through College” by Kate Harding and “ The Idea of a University” by Roger Scruton we will look at the differences and the similarities of the ideas and thoughts of the two authors. Both authors discuss the advantages to Universities but they differ in how universities can be a challenge to students. Scruton refers to the old university and how they were grand and important to anyone considering further education,(Scruton,2010), but he fails to bring a personal aspect from students. Where Harding explains that however Education is important it comes with stress and some down falls if not completely done in the right way. She explains how college and her choices made things harder

Advice for an Incoming student- This new adventure called “college” is a scary but a worthwhile experience. The pages are blank and you get to decide who you are and how you let the King’s College community shape you. This is the

The biggest challenge for me this year was doing my work thoroughly. While on the surface this may seem like something that should be easy, for me it was the first year I was really unable to get away with only giving 75% effort on my work. The assignment that really got me to understand this was an active reading assignment we had early in the school year. When we got into class we were told to define the word “affectation”. While I had read over the article I had not taken the time to define every word and got a 0/5. This assignment was my abyss because of the fact that I missed points that I could have easily received had I spent just another 30 seconds to completely finish my homework. The majority of my challenges occurred after my abyss. A major challenge for me came in my writing. At the beginning of the year I did not realize how important it was to truly stick to the writing process and take time with my writing. In past years I had been able to get away with occasionally drifting off topic during my writing and it took me a while to understand how exactly to approach a paper. Throughout the year I went through a transformation in my writing. After a few writing assignment I began to understand how to approach a paper and my writing has grown since. This year in humanities has left me with a gift. Through Humanities I learned a couple things that I will take away with me and use not just for the rest of highschool but for the rest of my life. One thing I took away was how to approach my work. When facing a large assignment it is important to not be intimidated and procrastinate starting your work. While the first few days of such an assignment can be challenging if you focus and knock out parts of the assignment slowly and concisely the end result of your work will be much better and your last few days doing the assignment will be far less

One morning I decided to check before class and hope that my day would not be ruined from there. Having been the only university I applied to at this time, there was nothing to fall back on. Logging in for the eleventh time in three days, the application looked as if there was an ‘add’ on it. Adjusting my eyes, it had read “Accept or Decline”. Getting chills from head to toe, I begin to read further down the page and noticed that I had been accepted to the School of Arts and Sciences. The first tear rushed down my face and it was in this moment that I knew I was happy and proud to say I was going to a school that had football, pride and a sense of

Teachers are in college to present material for their students to master. Giving students a straight ‘A’ is dishonorable for the profession, and the important thing is that teachers would be failing their students by not allowing them to learn and to grow. Unlike Bikash Up, Darby Smith thinks there is a difference between consumerist culture and college culture. He stated that, “Yes, I do think there is a difference between consumerist culture and college culture because college culture is more focused on studies and trying to better your life. When you are in college that is the time to grow, make mistakes, be young and financially poor.

Throughout the semester I have faced many difficult and different challenges. One major challenge has been to be acting as a single parent again. Recently my husband left for another deployment which has left me alone to care for our children. It has become my sole responsibility to take care of our children and transport them to and from daycare. I also have to make sure I have childcare lined up if I pick up shifts at work. Another thing that has fallen on my shoulders is the responsibility of all of the housework. Instead of having my husband's help with cleaning and putting laundry away, I now have to rely on myself, which I hate. Another challenge I have faced this semester is getting back into a good school routine. When I left high school

In so doing, many universities have manufactured artificial utopias based on a philosophy of avoiding, not confronting, unpopular ideas, and of pacifying, not empowering, students in the pursuit of knowledge. In this way, some universities have become equivalent to the anxiety-riddled parent who shelters a child from the evils of the world, only to find out years later that the child is woefully unprepared for life’s challenges. The same result occurs when

The biggest challenge I had to overcome this semester was learning to adapt to the late night study sessions and bounteous hours of writing. As well as having to make a series of personal adjustments and sacrifices in order to attend my classes. However I think that this is a challenge in which I will not have to struggle much next semester, being that I have already began to adjust and get adapt to these late hours, and long days.

This is my first year attending Westminster. Although, I’m a new student, the emphasis and influence of Westminster’s community of students and teachers has made a significant impact on my experience; because of you I feel a part of the Westminster family. I’ve had the opportunity to cheer on the football team, share classes and feel the pain of the walk from Campbell to Askew with

Desiring to have a better life in future inclines people to focus on their academic career. Schools, exams, busy schedules and a pile of work are quintessential this goal. Therefore, students who want to achieve a better future prefer undergoing hard work instead of engaging in social activities. However, social sides of college do not only occupy a big role, but also has plenty of benefits. Social life in college becoming increasingly essential in today’s world triggered an acceptable consideration: Social parts of college should be considered as equal as the academic parts because of psychological, social reasons and its benefits in terms of future.

The students who do not adapt and choose to abstain are immediately labeled negatively. By choosing not to participate in the universal activity on campus, these students limit their social life. This is a tremendous sacrifice. College supposedly represents the best years a person’s of life. No one wants to miss out due to being perceived as overwrought and uptight. For this reason,
