Journal Entry #17

Journal #17:
1- An outer obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is my job, not studying enough and not interacting with my professors as much as I should and also, lack of sleep.
2 & 3- Someone besides me who can help me overcome this obstacle is my manager allowing me to shorten my hours, my counselor checking up on me one-on-one.
4- An inner obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is procrastination.
5- Someone besides me who can help me overcome this inner obstacle is nobody because I’m the one who has to get the work done.
6- Nobody can help me in getting my work done because regardless of what anybody tells me it’s up to me if I’m willing and capable of setting anything else besides school work aside to make the school work my priority with procrastinating.
7- The most challenging course I’m taking this semester is Math 1030.
8- The course is challenging for me because I get easily confused with numbers, I don’t study enough knowing that I have difficulty and even when I do try to study or learn something In tutoring the tutor I received wasn’t helpful. I often had to rely on classmates for help but they also have things to worry about for themselves.
9- Someone besides me who can help me overcome this obstacle is classmates, my sister who is very good at math, the SACC department.
10- All these people can help me by giving assistance and clarifying anything I don’t understand.

2- Two choices that I will have to make to be more successful In college is not work so much, especially not during school nights. Another choice is create more connections and study groups so I’d be able to learn from others and add on to my own knowledge.
