Lesson learned

I procrastinated in finishing my project for my nutrition class and completed it at the last minute. I finished it two hours before it was due hoping i did it correctly even when i knew i was quite clueless in some parts. I didn’t expect for an A and sure enough when i got my paper back, my results were terrible. I was devastated. From there, i learned my lesson and told myself i wouldn’t ever procrastinate on my project ever again.

A month later, i had another two projects due and this time i finished it days before and the outcome was amazing. I got A’s on both assignments. No words could explain how happy i was because it felt so good receiving a much better grade compared to the last one. Also, it was such a relief knowing i didn’t stress out as much as i did last month. It was the best feeling ever!

Try harder

I learned a very valuable lesson this week about support. When times seem tough and you feel like giving up, family is always right by your side. Even the people you wouldn't think would be there for you will always be there no matter what. This seems to be the most difficult semester i have faced due to so many obstacles I'm trying to get through each day. I have never felt so stressed trying to cram everything all at once. I had so many goals that i wanted to achieve this semester, but i feel like i failed to meet my expectations. The only thing i can do is accept my mistakes and continue to try harder next time. I need to put in more effort and set my priorities straight by working on my time management. I have so much on my plate with being a full time student, part time associate, dance teacher and balancing other responsibilities. Right now, all i could think of is getting through the rest of the semester withe passing each of my classes and finally relax after four ...

OLL vs. classroom

I had no idea what I was thinking to schedule myself in an OLL science course when it is also one of my weakest subjects. In the beginning, I told myself that I don't think it's a bad decision to take an OLL course this semester since I've experienced an OLL English course and a hybrid one too during my first year in college. I was completely wrong. I made the worse decision thinking I'd do great and enjoy the class, but unfortunately I didn't at all. The textbook for the class was very pricey and the amount of assignments seemed a little too much including lab. It wasn't that bad in the beginning till the course got too difficult for me. I thought I'd be able to handle it and earn an A, but I expected to much from myself.

IEP training - volunteer

This week I volunteered at an IEP training with a few of my classmates from ED215. We were all told to choose a day to help volunteer and to experience what it's like to attend an IEP meeting with professionals and parents who are concerned or learning about IEP for their child(ren). As a volunteer, we had many tasks to complete. We set up a table of refreshments that included pizza, pasta, mini muffins and water then another table full of papers that were to be passed around when parents arrived and we set up tables and chairs for the guests. It was a great experience because I learned so much within the three hours I volunteered from the presentation of guest speakers and the concerns of parents.
