2) Write about two choices you could make to create a stronger support system for yourself in college:
The lack of focus I tend to have in college is degrading who I am and my work ethic. I think it is causing me to have bad grades in most of my classes. It’s hard for me to sit still and focus on a reading, when I can be doing other stuff. Too many distractions are at home, which causes me not to focus. Talking to my professors has helped me ascertain what I need to study for on my next exams. I talked to my anthropology professor which helped me out a lot, she gave me a lot of helpful advice which will lead me into the right direction.
