My name is Elizabeth Galvez. One word that describes how I’m feeling about this course and college is curious. I feel curious because I wonder what the new materials will be, what I’ll be learning and how my time in college will affect me.
My study skills are okay. I tend to try to study a week or three days before an exam. I am very good at taking notes and staying organized. What doesn’t quite work for me is that I tend to forget information sometimes, not really ask for help when needed and just figure it out on my own. I will improve in this little by little by continuously studying and testing myself to do better. In doing better I will ask questions and ask for help when needed.
I’m not worried much about the readings that will be given. I am worried about the deadlines for some assignments since I don’t like feeling rushed when deadlines are short. Either way, becoming a college student seems exciting to me. At first I was nervous since I tend to focus a lot on how my grades look and how it’ll affect me but as long as I stay on track and on top of my work I’ll be fine.
Lastly, the picture below means a lot to me because it is a reminder to myself that I love myself and for who I am. Whenever I feel down I rethink about the love I have for myself and the confidence I have to keep thriving, staying on the right track and always remembering to stay positive.
uncomfortable, i’m usually have all my things ready and lined up for me like e-mail wise and work wise as well but it’s just not at that right now sooner or later i’ll be ready to say i’m comfortable

hi my name is Milton. My strengths, when it comes to studying skills are, I work best when I’m in groups of two or more because it helps me brainstorm many ideas that can be beneficial to my group. if I’m forced to work alone, in that particular situation I could work best when I’m listing to music and when my fellow classmates are quite, it helps me concentrate better and helps me understand a topic/question better. I would need to improve my concentration while doing work because that’s one thing I struggle the most.
My worries for this course/classwork is that, Im nervous and afraid I wont be able to keep up with the class and that I wont be able to do the hw that’s assigned to me, due to my lack of concentration. some interesting things about the short story my fellow classmates and I read was, the little boy being able to tell his life story on how he wasn’t very happy and how the birds always found a way to lighten his mood, to always make him keeping going in life. one last thing about being a freshman in college is that, I really don’t know where to go if I’m ever lost.
the picture shown below has a meaning to me because before I drew this picture, I really didn’t know how to draw until one day at work I tried it out since I had nothing to do, the drawing was so random. The meaning behind the picture is that your mind and imagination is your only limitations, if you risk it all just to try it, maybe it can be a life changing thing. you wont know something until you try it out. (I WASNT ABLE TO POST THE PICTURE)
THE PICTURE WAS A DRAWING OF STITCH.
