Are...You...READY?
In my book Persepolis, Marjane is sent by her parents to Austria for a better life. she undergoes a serious change and has to learn to adapt to an all new life; just like we are in college. believe it or not, we are going through a major transition in our lives. college is a entirely new frontier and we must be ready for the challenge. how will you prepare yourself for the challenges ahead? would you need to change anything about yourself to adapt to this new enviroment called college?

Well, College is a big transition, but it depends on the person. Me myself have not yet adapted to college in "Chicago" fully. Simply because of all the traveling I have to do to get to school. Academically I believe I am getting there. I'm preparing for all the obstacles ahead and I'm ready to do my best at life.
ReplyDeleteIn high-school I would procrastinate way to much. I'd do all of my assignments on the last day. This caused me to have alot of questions on my work and not enough time for anwsers so my work was not that great. This procrastination also would lead to me forgetting the work and not doing it at all or getting frustarted and not doing it. I think the main thing I have been doing now and will need to keep doing to succeed is to start my work the day it is givin to me.
ReplyDeletedefinitively. we are going to be living on our own. there is not going to be parents hanging over our shoulders anymore. its all on us. and that's a HUGE responsibility. not only that but our collage professors are not going to baby us like our high school teachers. they are going to expect us to ask questions, take notes and get the work done. its our responsibility to make sure we are doing our best to learn.
ReplyDeletei think i will have to change a few things some like preparation being more organize just more like the simple things that can be fixed i think i will adapt to it quick
ReplyDeletehell yeah, I have a lot I can do to change myself and better exude myself in college. In high school joe, I didnt do anything. If I didnt want to go, I didnt and if I wanted to be under an influence, I was. Just coming to here everyday, on time and having done my homework says a lot about my transition. I can count on my hands how many times I did my home work in hs. I'm trying though, being around a compltely different crowd oriented with completely different interest and past-times than what I've grown accustomed to, should help me blossom just beautifly. ..lbds
ReplyDeleteI've noticed since I been here that, Ive been more open to talk to people randomly. I think moving on campus helped me out alot. Getting use to a city that Im not really familiar with and all.Back where I was at month ago, I probably wouldve still been doing the same old things, nothing. Im trying my best to take full advantage of any and every situation. Like theres alot of kids who are attending the bridge program, who have similar goals that I want to achieve, so Im definetly trying to build relationships and network for opportunities in the future.
ReplyDeleteI understand that we all are going through a major change in are lifes. I always try to keep in mind on what I need to finish through out my days of school and make share am always ready by being organize every day before I go to my classes. I also make share I get enough sleep to get through my days in school more easier. I am always respectful towerds others and always keep my cool. I always mike share I make it to or back to class when going or coming back from my lunch.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the bridge program is actually playing a big part in preparing me for the college life. It has gotten me familiar with how classes will be, having to work with a crazy schedule, trying to find a balence, and basically knowing how to prioritise myself better. Without the bridge program i think that there is a possibility that I might have been unprepared for the first semester of school.
