English 111
Going into Senior year, I had most of my credits completed. I only needed my last English and math class. Not knowing what I was going to do, I heard about Caldwell classes and I decided to get English 111 out of the way.
Coming into this class, I did not know what to expect because I have never taken a real college class before. Well, it has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be hard and non stop work but that is not how it has been at all.
I have learned how to use my time wisely and space my assignments out. I have learned how to plan a paper and how much it benefits you. As a student, I have never been on top of assignment but I have made it a goal for myself. My goal was to stay on top and turn things in on time and make sure it was my best work and I have done that so far. I feel that I have done a great job in this class.
Knowing that this class was my first college class, I knew I had to do well because this class will go on my transcript. I did not want my first college class to not be a good grade. I also wanted to see what an actual college class was like. Well, it is very laid back. Skipping class can be very tempting and easy to do but what is the point of that? There is not.
This class has shown me a glimpse of what college is like. So far, it is not bad. I think that if I take classes seriously and make an effort to get to know my professors and go to class, I will do very well. It is exciting to me to see what it is like. College is very different from high school. You have to be responsible and use your time wisely because if not, you will not succeed. College is too important not to do well. I am very satisfied about how well the class has been going. I have learned so much about writing and I have even improved on my writing skills! I am very excited to continue college and get the full experience next year. I am also very thankful I have had the opportunity to take a college class to get the feel of it.

I think it's awesome that you are investing time into doing well and that you have a desire to go above what might be required of you! Such as, going to class when you could skip. I took a couple years to travel before starting college and can say I would not have been nearly as driven as you are during my Senior year. I definitely encourage you to keep up your awesome desire to excel even when it appears that you could slack off. Getting good grades is totally worth the time!

ReplyDeleteGetting a preview of college is terrific, and I'm glad you're taking it seriously. I didn't take my first dual-enrollment class seriously at all! And guess what? It was ENG 111!! I hated the process work that teacher gave us. Oh mercy... Anyway, I don't know where you are planning to attend for your nursing degree, but you'll find that a lot of universities are quite a bit different from community college too. Big ol' lecture halls with professors who don't know your name-- I suggest a smaller school, even if it is a bit more expensive, it is worth it since there are so many great ways to manage school debt these days.
