Being an on and off CSN student means that I'm on a different pace compared to those who haven't taken any breaks in their academic career. I was very excited to finally get a chance to be in the C building for something other than an English course. I've always walked by the downstairs classrooms with curiosity and excitement, knowing that I would one day be able to catch more than a split second of information.
My first day of class was off to a rough start; all just minor speed bumps so far. Our professors' introduction to the class really got me thinking about my experience with higher education as a whole. I sensed a hard working attitude behind his words that made me reflect upon my own work ethic. Am I working at my full potential? Are there things I can change to push myself to the next level? Just asking myself these two questions proved that there is more that I can do to achieve my goals. I just have to remain committed, and focused.
I thought those were some interesting ideas to take away from the very first week of the semester. It makes me eager to keep on with my classes and see what else I can discover.
Minor speed bumps could not slow you down :-) Glad my introduction to the class provoked you to question if you're working at your full potential. I look forward to seeing your focused commitment help you push yourself to the next level and achieve your goals.
ReplyDeleteI too, felt that after hearing Professor Wu speak on the first day of class made me start thinking about being committed to learning and working hard to achieve my goals. It is true that we chose to be in college because of the goals we set for ourselves. So why not work hard for it! Stay focused and you will succeed!
ReplyDeleteHard working students do have a chance to achieve those goals, and so do you! :)
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be motivated. Best wishes to you! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how you reflect on your own work ethic and see a chance of improvement. I hope you stay committed and always stay focus on what you want.
