The first two weeks of school. These are always the hardest weeks in the entire school year. This is when schedules are set and classes being to delve into the subject. Over the past two weeks, I have balanced my time in between classes, homework, and friends. But this year is completely different from any other year in school, because I am on my own for the first time. Now I have to manage my time on my own. Mommy and daddy are not around to nag me to do homework or be on time or even go to school. Over the years my parents have helped me manage my time and have set me up with a good system that I now use in college. Doing homework is the most important thing in keeping up with my classes. Every day I come home and start homework, even if it is not due for a while. I have learned that getting ahead is better than being behind, which has been a strength in my eyes. Other strengths of mine are being aware of deadlines and keeping organized. Some areas I would like to improve on are not getting too far ahead and making sure I understand all the assignments given to me fully. As of right now, I do not always understand assignments fully and need help from peers to make sure I am on the right track. In the future, I would like to be more self sufficient in that area. These are just some of the things I have seen as strengths and weaknesses in the first two weeks of school. I am sure there will be more as the semester moves on and hopefully I will be able to adapt to them.
Being on our own for the first time is really difficult. I am impressed that you are able to start on your homework right away. Sometime usually a little later in the day I have to block myself away from anything that can be distracting in any way and just sit and do work. It was definitely more easy previous years when I was still in high school. The work was easier, I also had my mom making sure that I did all my work on time, and my mom even made sure I was organized. She brought me all my schools supplies so that they were color coated. But it is really good that you are able to be so aware of all the deadlines and what kind of work you need to get done. That is really going to help you a lot in college!
