Reflection post 5

Through out the semester I’ve slowly watched my motivation dwindle down I have a habit of letting my stupid pride get in the way of whets better for me i always believe that I’m good at everything never pushing myself to go harder or motivating myself to work more I become lackadaisical just thinking everything will work out in the end. I believe all this rooted from my belief that our fate is determined but this semester i had promised myself to not repeat the same mistakes that ive repeated in my past the whole reason that i am stuck in this predicament this cycle of failure and remediation and ultimately failure again so this semester i promised to work harder and so far it hasn’t been working for me well at least not in this class. in my English class however I’ve been doing great maybe because its a class that i find much interest in and actually know what I’m doing in there rather then this subject which although I’ve taken this class before always seems to baffle me and be completely new to me. Maybe because I’ve never over analyzed my reading techniques or felt the necessity to do so. I still bolster my motivation with the thoughts of a successful future that I’ve always dreamt of having even if it wasn’t in the academic field id still want a degree to fall back on that pride of doing something that no one has forced you to do that’s what i live for that ever distant ever changing moment of glory where i can stand up in front of the world a winner that simple moment of joy in the sea of the crazy mostly un amazing negative nature of life i live for that one moment of glory that’s what keeps me going . I can do more to boost my motivation theres always room for improvement just to get myself up off the couch and more on the desk more into school. I try things like making friends in the classes im in or making more friends so I can spend more time around school still the lazy part of me just comes into effect. If im able to suppress that laziness ultimately my motivation would drive me to success

Long term goal: Transfer and Earn a BA degree




Dear Miss Henderson



its been a year now since I have started Fullerton college on my way to become a successful college student since I’ve started I have managed to stay on track and pass most of my classes with the exception of a few. I’m so close to transferring from here and further perusing my overall goal in earning a bachelors in criminal justice I have come such a long way from my lackadaisical ways that used to hold me back when I first began thank you for all your help and support since the very beginning I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for your class and all the extra help and support I received in your class things are finally starting to look up. Once again id like to thank you for all your help and support and hope all is well in your life and with your family



Sincerely

Reflection 2

This semester was labeled my redemption semester from the beginning. This was the semester I was supposed to go back to school and succeed. the way its shaping up to be not quiet what I thought it would I am still confident that I will succeed its just that it’s a bit harder then I expected  but I know now what has brought me back all these years my ability to downplay things and make them seem less important then they really are. Breaking the lazy habit has always been my demon in life I feel like I have to put myself under pressure throughout my life just to find any reason
