When I first signed up for my classes I originally signed up for 5 classes. College Composition, Speech, Health, Women in Art, and Spanish. I was especially looking forward to my art class. However not even a week before classes started my art class got cancelled by the district. I am assuming not very many people signed up. I was kind of sad because I had the teacher before and I knew her teaching style. Plus it fit my schedule perfectly.
Now that we are just 2 months away from the end of the semester I am glad my art class got cancelled because I have had a heavy workload. It was heavier than I imagined it would be. Sometimes I feel like I am not smart enough to be in college but I get good grades every time. It does not come easy though. I really work my ass off and commit myself. I push myself to try my best and finish as much as I can.
I also work full time which does not leave me much time for homework. Sometimes that means staying up late or getting up early to finish my assignments. It is all worth it though when I get my grades back and I am looking at an A or B. I am happy even with C’s. To me D’s and F’s are not acceptable. I paid a lot of money to go to school here so I will not waste my time and I take my classes very seriously.
My main motivation to go to college is my family. My parents never went to college and my sister and I are the first to get a higher education than our parents. My sister motivates me because of sibling rivalry mainly. I have to get an equal or better education otherwise I will look like a failure to the family. Another reason I go is to be a better example for my brother. I want to show him that he has to take his education seriously also. I do not want to be a hypocrite and tell him “Do as I say, not as I do.” I have noticed my influence on him and do not want to be a bad one.
I commend you on your focus and dedication to your education. My kids are probably your age (if not older) and I always remind them that education will secure a better future for them and their families. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteya thats the same as me my parents didnt go to college so i want to go becuase they didnt!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the college will have the art class you want next semester. It still amazes me with the workload the instructors are putting on us the semester.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about working and not having time to do hw it's stressful at times.
ReplyDeleteJust remember that you have the rest of your life to do the things you want...and from the sounds of it, you'll be doing alot....go get 'em girl!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you push yourself to succeed and remember in the long run it will all be worth it.
