In Journal 25, where I will discover course improvements I need to make or already have made to correct my results and experience.

A. Describe an important course correction you have made in the past.

I was a 17 years old senior in high school. Not taking university application seriously. True that I graduate high school with high grade point average. However, I missed the university application deadline. I’ve should have known that everything has a deadline nothing going to wait. So I ended up two years taking foundation courses to get admit into the university that I want. Most importantly, I learned that everything happens for a reason. True I didn’t get accepted right after high school but maybe at the time I would have chosen something

    Sitting here, as a new student in an on online college course, reflecting back the past 30 years is really something. It is funny how fate (and bad decisions) will put you in a situation that you never thought you would be in, until it slaps you in the face. I never thought too much about school. I certainly did not think I would find myself in college, much less so late in my life. Let me start at the beginning, and explain the best that I can why I am returning to school after all these years.…

    An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call, a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore, I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better grade I would be satisfied with. I managed my time efficiently to give myself enough time for each class and receive help when I asked certain teachers who offered tutoring. I took advantage of all extra credit assignments when offered, I believed…

    Academic Probation

    When I graduated high school I knew I was going to attend college. It wasn’t a question. It was instilled in me as a child that I would be the only one of my siblings to go to school. My brothers would be forced into the military. It was never a desire of mine to attend college. It was more like the expected next step. Needless to say my passion for school was null and void. I attribute my academic standing to this fact. Maybe if I'd thought about what I wanted to do with my life versus just going with what was expected I would've done a little better.…

    Ever since elementary school I have been very dedicated to my school work and as I grew up I always had my mind set on college. My family has never really been the role model type which always made me push myself even harder to make a better name for myself and not end up how most of my family has. I'm not going to lie, I have let a few things slip because I piled a lot on myself which is no excuse. Whether or not my grades have always been perfect or if I have the highest GPA or class rank I have always cared about school and plan to strive in college. Out of all of my years in high school I would say that my sophomore year had the most impact on me. I have always moved around but I usually stayed in the same area. The summer before my sophomore year I moved from Florida to North Carolina with my mom and my little brother. Getting away from all the people I…

    I started my first year of college with my life all planned out. I had this ridicules idea that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list and most of all make my parents proud. Now that I really think about it what in the world was I thinking, I realized that college is an entirely different universe then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The drop in my GPA made me hunger to go to medical school even more, before my life academic in the sense that there were no challenges or obstacles that I really faced in high school. However, when I entered college I was faced with lots of hurdles academically and emotionally that opened my eyes and made my desire burn more to obtain my goals in life.…

    Deciding to go continue my education and further learning after high school was one of the best decisions I’ve made only because it’s what will benefit my future living, financially and mentally as well. Attending school has taught me useful tips I’ll use for the rest of my life, whether its time management, not procrastinating with anything and pushing myself to the highest possible limit. At the end of the day college is not for everyone to attend, it isn’t something to not take seriously; it requires dedication, patience, social skills, etc. Although college is a privilege but I see it more as a necessity in life in order to expand your horizons and life’s possibilities.…

    had told everyone that I would never go to college. Just the thought of a minimum of four years after thirteen years of school was not appealing to me; not one bit. Slowly all these actions were catching up to me. I had to think hard about what I could do to repair the damage that at the time I thought was unfixable because of all the frustration and anger I had caused…
