Reflection (blog #5)

      Throughout the semester so far I feel like I'm doing well in my classes and that everything so far is going good besides some things here and there. Beginning the semester I was motivated to finish school and to keep going for it but with problems that I've been having along the way so far I don't feel motivated to finish school. I know that I at least need to have some motivation to finish the semester but I don't feel it. Maybe if these problems get resolved ill have more motivation to finish and not just finish but transfer and graduate. Everything right now seems so surreal for me because school is a lot and to add to that financial problems are overwhelming and it’s all just becoming too much for me. I feel like I do need a boost to keep my motivation up for school, I not saying I'm going to be exuberant about it all but I do need to find motivation to finish and get to where I want to be. How I'm going to try to get my motivation up is by finding a solution to some of the problems I'm having and try not to let these type of things bring me to the point where I am at right now. I know I need to finish school and try and transfer because I don't want to let my mom down, I don't want to let my family down, and I don't want to let myself down because I know I am better than this and I know I can get through all of this and finish school. I need to find a poise and try and get everything under control so that I will be able to finish school and do everything that I can to finish it as well.

Reflection

This past week, school wise i made many plans. Most of them consisted of doing homework and studying for tests that i had in my classes. With most of the plans that i made i did go through with them such as getting homework done and everything turned in on time. Studying for tests though i didn't do much because i didn't have much time with work and school but i did try to get some study time in between shifts and classes. The other plans i had for school was to make an appointment with my counselor about my classes and how I've been doing with classes but i haven't done that either. Some of the plans that i had for the pa st week will role over into the next week because i haven't been able to get to them but they will get done by next week. As of next week the plans i have are to make an appointment with my counselor regarding my classes and to keep getting homework done and turning things in on time. Another plan is to get an interview done for one of my classes and other homework done as well. i did follow through with some of the plans but not so well with others and those are still getting worked on. Some of the reading strategies and study skills i plan to use are to study as much as i can and review the sections i study to get better understanding on things, as for the reading strategies i plan to use the ones that help me more understand the content and the reading. By making summaries at the end of sections will also help me by putting the section in my own words. i can get better understandings by use strategies with any section that i read. By using strategies i was successful with readings and homeworks i had to do, everything helped give me better understandings of things as well. Some adjustments i need to make from last week to this week is making more time for school and homework in general. i need to focus more on homework and studying to get things done and on time. I know i can improve from last week to this week even by doing simple little things that i can change or do things differently. I know i need to study more for tests and focus more on school work.
