Reflection

We are in the middle of the semester, and although this is often the time when students lose their momentum, I have not. Don’t get me wrong, it takes a little more to get up in the morning these days, but it’s manageable because my eyes are locked on my short term goal of achieving my AA as efficiently as possible. Time is of the essence because I graduated high school in 2006, and here I am now, 5 years later in my first semester of college. I feel I’ve wasted more than enough time already. I simply refuse to stand for any further delays. Working full time proves to be an obstacle because it disables me from going to school full time as well as hinders my study time. As much as I want that full boat of classes, there is just not enough time in one day to tackle both monsters. Not Properly. Though some might be discouraged by the slow progress, I remind myself that this is the precise reason I have to complete my classes the first time around witch an acceptable grade. And skipping a semester is certainly out of the question. Another huge motivation for me is that I am paying my own way through school, and it’s far from cheap. Being that I have plenty of other things to pay for as well, there’s no sense in blowing my money to fail or drop out. I personally chose to go to school to better myself, and establish my interests, if not my career. I am grateful for the money I make now, and the job I am fortunate to have, but I hope to reach the day where I find what I love to do, so I will never work another day in my life. That is my long term goal.
