COLLEGE STRUGLE

1. An outer obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is not giving my self time to study. I understand the material in class but I do not go over it. When a professor explains something I get it in the moment but I don’t go back to my notes to read and actually understand the notes I wrote down.
2. Someone who besides me who could help overcome this outer obstacle are my classmates Annie, Kristian, Aissata, and Destiny. I take classes with them and we always talk about the work when we have time. In a way my coaches because they give me the support that I need to become successful.
3. How these people could help me is by enforcing that study group that we planned at the beginning of the semester. They do encourage me and we encourage each other.
4. An inner obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is procrastination. I tell myself that I am going to do my work at a certain time and then I don’t do it. My head tries to spin around the problem and how I am  going to do it but I never start it. I feel that my confidence also is another factor to my struggle in college. I fell confident about certain classes, which is good, but that confidence keeps me away from doing extra work.
5. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this inner obstacle are my professor. When teachers make something worth a lot of points makes me worth harder. When we have due dates right after an assignment is given it makes me work harder to make the assignment on time. With a lot of pressure and points at risk it lets me know that I have something to do.
6. How  the professors could help me is by assigning work and make it worth a lot of points. Explaining it as well and giving examples
7. The most challenging course I am taking in college is history. I never liked history, was not my favorite subject. I always have trouble remembering dates and events and their time line. In college I am understanding is not about what I like but what I have to learn.
8.  This course is challenging to me because I feel that there are various events within a certain time. It is hard for me to keep up with these events. The professor does a good job explaining it it and I like it but I just need to concentrate more.
9. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this challenge is my sibling. She took this course before and understand history more than me. Sometimes I do not want to bother her since she is super busy.
10. How this person could help me is by sitting down with me for at least 1/2 and hour and help explain events. Events in American history and what is going on outside in America during the same time

Two choices I could make for myslef to become a stronger student and overcome my obstacles are getting organized and limit video game time. I am not the most organized person but I know where I place my work and do it. But I need to become more organized to be more efficient. I should separate my work from all my classes and buy folders. Creating a calendar will help me achieve this. I recently bought Call Of Duty Black Ops 3, a shooting game. I also bought the one year gold membership to play online. I have been playing it since i bought it and have become addicted. I had not played video games in over a year and now I’m back to it. I have to limit my playing time from 3-5 hours to 1-2 hours. I will have enough time to do my work and focus on it, not that its just done but is my best work.
