The Importance Of Education In College

It has been a difficult journey for my first year at Western to where I understood that I will lose my financial aid and my scholarship after spring term. In fall term I thought that I would start a new lifestyle where I can get away from my families issues. My family has been my priority with school since the outcome of my parent’s separation and the financial struggle that my father had to face. However, the issues my family had has followed me to school where it took me away from my school work. I have failed most of my classes fall term and I knew that I can’t afford another mistake. I made it a goal to make sure that I don’t make the same mistake that I did for fall term. I passed most of my classes except for math because of how I wouldn’t asked the professor for of

During fall 2015 I worked full time in construction. I took 4 classes, 2 at Metropolitan State University of Denver, 1 at Front Range CC Boulder & 1 at Front Range CC Westminster. I would drive from Westminster to Denver, then from Denver to Longmont. I could not handle the load. I tried to save all my classes but only saved two. Between work, traffic, and school, I set myself up for disaster and failed. I dropped the class`s last minute.

Into my second semester I went on a road to clean up the damage I did last semester, by retaking calculus 1, but when It came to Spanish I took Spanish 3 because it was the only class

I have tried my utmost best in all my courses; both high school and college courses. I made it my responsibility to take challenging classes that are taught by rigorous and strict teachers that will give me an understanding of the real world and college; there will be no exceptions. However, my academic record does not describe my character as a student adequately. For History 102, I was on track to receive an A for the class after the final, but my older brother sadly died, and I could not complete the course. I am going to retake the

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

I have found that in all of my semesters here at FGCU this by far has been the toughest for me to complete. There has been lots of hard work put into all 4 of my courses, two jobs, and my level 1internship this semester and I’ve still found myself falling behind in EDF 4470 Classroom Assessment. After a few late and incomplete assignments, I still felt as though I had a chance to regain focus in this course. Unfortunately for me, however, things began to get worst and I became so far behind that there was no possible way that I would be able to complete each missing assignment and pass this course. Once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to withdrawal from this course because I had missed the deadline, without hesitation I spoke with my course

I also met with my professors or emailed them to use my resources to try to do the best I could. I passed my ARS 100 class despite finding academic difficulty in this course as well. Though my Spanish professor is allowing me to have an incomplete until I take the exam in August and my other professors were accommodating, my grades were severely impacted by the WF in Soccer. Because of this, I have met with the Dean of Students and the suggested course of action was the pursue a selective course

Instead of dropping the semester, I continued with my studies and I failed one class. When I returned to

Throughout my time in high school, I have maintained good grades. I maintained an average G.P.A. of 3.44 seven. My highest G.P.A. was at 4.0 and the lowest was 3.29. Concluding my grades are better this year due to me not taking a math class. Math has always been a struggle, but I tried my best to maintain a good grade; my junior year second semester I had obtained a D and that was certainly upsetting to me. I take my grades seriously and I strive to pass all my classes while sustaining a good G.P.A. The earnest work I put in during my four years demonstrate that it is not to just graduate but to graduate with good grades.

I would first like to state that I have never failed a course throughout my academic career. This session was very trying for me. On Saturday August 27, 2016 my brother passed away. After planning and traveling for a funeral during the first week of class, my Godmother passed on September 4, 2016. The day after my brother’s funeral due to heart attack. I know these circumstances impacted my academic performance but with enduring all of the situations above, I never missed classes and tried my hardest after to stay on track.

My academic performance was impacted by some poor personal and academic decisions, including taking on a heavy course load that included a combination of five difficult courses all in the semester. While taking some difficult courses, I should have balanced out my academic schedule using courses that are relatively easier and more manageable to me. I realized that the set of courses that I was enrolled in, as well as the overall program, did not suit my interest as a student. Additionally, due to ineffective time management

One was a major presentation to which I did the slides but missed the day of presentation. I left my partner in the dust and because of that I got an F on that assignment. The last two assignments were huge grades especially since one was our final. Mr. Booth, my english teacher, called me on the last day of school before the break to warn me of possible failure if I didn’t submit the paper in the morning. He gave me an extra day to write up my paper. I took this warning seriously and left home to promptly work on it. Only about 15 minutes in on my assignment I got distracted by the internet. Next thing you know it’s early January of the next year and I find out that I failed english. My parents were dismayed in my failure to pass an easy class because of a few assignments. I was thunderstruck at my own lack of motivation and focus that lead me to that crash. It was my first ever fail, a legit semester F. A fail that will scar my transcript and I for ever. I decided to write the papers, made sure to get half credit for the presentation and turned it in. Fingers crossed for a semi-raise of a grade due to my IEP and 504 plans in

During my undergrad education, I have experienced minimal academic difficulties. There were six instances during my undergrad education where I received a grade of B-minus or less. The first instance was during my freshman year at Hillsborough Community College where I received an F grade for intermediate algebra. Despite all of my effort to earn a passing grade from the course, all my efforts were futile. The overall average of the class was a D and the professor was dismiss from the college following that semester. I made up the grade by retaking the class with a different professor and complete the course with a B. The next situation involves me receiving two B-minus for organic chemistry lecture. Those organic chemistry courses were rigorous

I will be applying for academic renewal at the end of the of this semester for my Math 27 class, in which I recieved a D. I would also like to state that I was changing medications at this time, which my doctors, family and I believe played a role in my performance. My struggles have caused me great anxiety, and I plan to take Math 15 next semester--overcoming my fears; I am excited to excel in Statistics next Spring.

I also failed that semester, my gpa dropping below what was required. So, I took some time off from school to figure things out and make myself better. Now, it’s time for me to go back to school so I can put in the work and finally achieve my goals.
