Journal Entry #17

  1. An outer obstacle that stands between me and my success is managing the limited time I have outside of school in order to use it to study.
  2. Someone who could help me overcome this outer obstacle is my counselor.
  3. How this person could help me is by helping me arrange a schedule that is most beneficial and suited for me personally.
  4. An inner obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is my shyness.
  5. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this inner obstacle is a teacher. Taking communications may help me improve my inner obstacle.
  6. How this person could help me is by teaching me good techniques that will help me approach different situations.
  7. The most challenging course I’m taking in college this semester is Pre-Calculus.
  8. This course is challenging for me because it is a course that contains a lot of complex curriculum, that of which requires a lot of time to practice in order to become more proficient. (like mentioned earlier, time management is a main concern)
  9. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this challenge is my math tutor.
  10. How this person could help me is by going over multiple examples with me and giving me feedback on my work.

 

In order to create a stronger support system for myself in college I could:

  1. form study groups to make the study process less tedious
  2. Ask for help when ever necessary. Feedback is a great way to evaluate progress.
