Week 5: Discussion Brainstorm

As a up and coming college student I was a bit nervous about the whole process. I found myself overthinking and overwhelming myself with these thoughts that I would become so packed with work on the first few weeks of school. High school teachers and counselors alike would constantly tell me that things aren’t the same as high school it will be much harder. “You will have to get things on your own” they said, and it will not be easy. Starting off school on the day of August 26th I was reluctant to begin my classes. I reeled it over and over in my head that I wouldn’t make it, I won’t make it through to the middle of the semester, I wondered if it would be worth it. My classes began without a hitch. I was able to grasp the material very easily, and teachers explained the assignments and structure of their classes very well. I was able to keep up with my classes! Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 passed and I was doing absolutely swimmingly. I kept up with all my work, I passed my quizzes, and I even got ahead by doing some of the work that was due for the next week over. I found that I was actually doing what others said wasn’t going to be as easy for me. I was doing the opposite of what was so “impossible” to do in college. Many would think that college is complicated and isn’t as easy as high school which might be true in many cases depending on the school and it’s pacing the students. However if you have the courage and you feel that you can surpass whatever may limit you whether it be the words of others, the thoughts that might linger in your head of failure and let down, you can most definitely survive college. Moral of my story, You CAN Do ANYTHING You Set Your Mind and Heart Into Completing, it doesn’t matter how unreachable the goal might seem. You will get there.
