Fall
Semester
My fall semester of 2014 has been good to me so
far. I haven't faced many stressful homework assignments but I don't want to
jinx myself just yet. I have a full time schedule and the only class I seem to
have some confusion is Oceanography. I have trouble understanding its criteria
and remembering the material. Many of my friends told me it’d be a sweet class
to take but I beg to differ.
The best thing about this semester for me so
far has been not driving to Ventura every day! This has been my first semester
at Oxnard College after going to Ventura College for a year. I got sick of
driving almost every day to Ventura. Same route, same view, it all gets old and
it was time for a change. Not to mention gas is expensive and it’s much more
convenient to go to school when I only live 5 minutes away. I wanted to go to
Ventura because most of my friends were going there, but I learned that I
should focus on myself before anyone else to accomplish what I want in life.
Also I love the fact that the gym I go to is walking distance from the college,
so every day I get to better my body as well. I see myself progressing every
day.
Finally, My greatest motivators are my family and girlfriend, but to me
more descriptive I'll have to say my Dad is my number one support, he's always
asking if I need anything and if I do and it's out of his reach he does
everything possible for me and I'm grateful for that. Then I have my girlfriend
that always keeps me on top of homework and is a reminder that I can't slack
off. She helps me with proofreading and she's always there for me.
It seems like you have a really great support system! Having people who are willing to be there for you can be a great help in staying focused on what needs to be done and getting you where you want to be.
