Who is Regina Thomas? I think she is a strong, independent young woman who has a passion for expressing her thoughts and dreams above and beyond anything normal individuals do. She is someone who wants to get her degree in finance, go to law school and make it big in the political world.
A top concern I have is that I won’t do well in Calculus. Math has always been a subject I have struggled in but I am a person who really likes a challenge so I kept at it and I have managed to excel. Calculus this semester has really been a struggle. Matrices just take too much time to do. And on the quizzes and test my professor gives, he barely gives us any time to do the exam. Another concern is that I won’t get a high enough GPA to transfer schools. It’s really important to me that I get into a couple private schools in New York City. I’ve always wanted to go to an Ivy or a really prestigious private school and the fact that I wasn’t able to achieve those dreams is devastating. Finally, I’m concern about how I will get to live the typical college life like you see in the movies while being a commuter. It’s really a different life. I still have to go home at a decent hour, run things past my parents and just not be as independent as I would like to be. In the past month these concerns really haven’t shifted but I hope with time I will be able to settle into this part of my life.
College is definitely a different atmosphere in high school. You are just really on your own and if you want help, you have to seek it out. People really don’t care what you do and it’s not as dramatic and close knit like high school was. Everyone is truly a free spirit seeking to find their path of life in this world. In a way I think it’s great that no one cares what you are doing but at times, it can feel like a lonely journey.
I think my first year of college will transform me into a young woman who is comfortable with where she is going in life. It’s probably going to be a difficult transition but I’m determined to get there.
