As I reflect back onto my semester, I can say that I’m proud of my improvements. My experience has changed me for the better.
Initially, I felt I was prepared for college. But after a few exams, I realized that I was wrong. Since then, I have put a lot of effort into improving my grades and bettering myself academically. As the semester went on, I kept studying and working harder. Shortly after, I picked up my grade considerably. As the semester progressed, I learned to manage my time efficiently and work at a faster pace. I’ve become much more independent, diligent, and determined.
Looking back at my struggles this semester, I would change my strategy. I would study the lessons ahead of time and arrive to class fully prepared to discuss the material covered in that lesson. I’ve learned that being prepared is essential for success. Overall my first semester at Baruch College was life changing.
