For my second blog post, I have decided to write about my experience with the SACC Tutoring Service here at Baruch College. Amidst an upcoming math midterm, myself along with a few other students decided to take a journey to the SACC in an effort to familiarize ourselves with the content on the exam. The first step I took in guaranteeing myself a tutoring session was signing up online at SACC’s own website. Their, I entered my Baruch Emplid ID and my name and reserved a two hour slot with a private pre-calculus tutor. I then proceeded with my school day, for my session would not occur until the following afternoon. Twenty four hours later, I traveled to the SACC center and was met by my tutor and fellow classmates. As a group, we worked together in tackling the Pre-Calc Midterm 1 review sheet which we never even 100% completed! Despite this, i still enjoyed my only second time in the SACC center, an event well worth the trip. Upon competition with the session I concluded that I had not only learned much but now had an instilled confidence within me, in regards to performing well on the exam. I also found joy in the fact that I spent quality time with my classmates outside the classroom (something that does not normally occur). Two days later, I found myself applying all the information I have learned onto my very own pre-calc midterm. Afterwards, I was relieved that the exam was over. Although, when the test grades were released online nearly two weeks later, I saw that I did not perform to my highest expectations. I received a 70 out of a possible 100 points. This was the first test I took within Baruch College and would serve as a reflection until this day. Unfortunately, this test broke my freshmen heart. I thought it was all over. I believed, “that’s it, i’m done, gotta transfer out of Baruch and go to a different college”. I did not know what to think. But as I would soon learn, despite how much I prepared for this test, it was still my first test of college and was only one of many to come. I realized that I had the opportunity to raise my grades and my spirits and travel back once again to the SACC, in an effort to redeem myself. T-1 Week until my next pre-calc midterm. Gotta go!
