it is easy to want to do something that will ultimately make your life better and open up more opportunities for you. It is also easy to tell yourself that this thing that your doing is good and not to have bad expectations or doubts. It is not that easy to listen to yourself when you say those things. I’ve wanted to go back to school for a couple of years now but it seems as if the more time I took away from furthering my educations the more uninterested I became. I think ultimately it’s the fact that I have to abide my others rules and schedules that I do not like. I think almost every day I woke up with this image reflected on my face because I really did not want to go to school. It does not help that I generally work long hours and then have to be awake by 6a.m. to take a annoying train ride where there is often many delays to get to class. After class I head right back to the train for my long ride to work. All in all I was traveling about 5.5+ hours a day between work and school. This fact made any enthusiasm I might of had to go to class completely non-existent. Ultimately the semester was in no way hard or overwhelming maybe just tedious at times. Maybe work has made me more capable of handling a lot of things on my plate and for that I am thankful. I did find myself being very surprised at how intense the attendance policy at Baruch is. It is/was probably on of the things that I struggled with the most. Especially since one of my professors told me that I had one of the highest grades on the test but if I continue to be late she would have to drop me from the class. It was astonishing to me that attendance was just as or even more important than how a student is doing academically. One thing I do need to work on is not being late to my classes and mustering up the enthusiasm to go every time I can. I did enjoy going to the FRO class probably most of all just because sometimes it was beneficial to sit and talk/write out some of the frustrations I shared. Shanima thank you for being available to help and answer all of our questions this semester!
Hopefully this image does not pop into my head everyday for the rest of the semester.
