Week 4: Reflection Post

There is plenty I need to do in the following week to improve my status in all of my classes including this one. Different from my previous weeks, I need to focus, study and be able to rehearse what I have "learned", that way I am sure I have learned what I need to learn to pass all my classes. I am one of those students that at every time I am evaluated they say, "You are doing good, but you have the potential to do better. I know you have the skills, but I don't know if you have the work ethic.". There are no obligations or obstacles in my way at all, the only thing that prevents me from getting my work done is my laziness. If I could I would sit or sleep all day, the only reason I get out of bed is for school and for doing things that keep me going (ex: eating, speaking, walking, weightlifting etc.). I have already begun to use SQ3R in most of my classes (all except my World Civ. class), and I will try to make it less tedious, maybe use some of the other techniques in the Writers' Handbook. I use things like: highlighting, cirlcling, notations on the side of the text and other things. It is very helpful so far, it's just that I am very lazy. I will shape up and do better, because I know I want to get out of Fullerton. I mean that in the best way possible, I want to graduate, I want to do the best I can for me, my teachers, my family, my friends but also for anyone coming into my life down the road. I won't take this opportunity for an education for granted, not anymore. I can use the tools given to me in this class, this semesters' classes and maybe down the road, I should say hopefully.
