Learning to manage your time with all the freedom college brings is one of the hardest transitions to make. While in high school you always were reminded when your work was due and etc. In college its your own responsibility to know when you have work to be turned in and test. In explains ways to make managing your time easier such as knowing your goals and knowing what you have to do to achieve your goals. You also have to know your purpose of attending college and what you want out of it.
It also states that the community college can be for people that have jobs, but who want to study for a career. I agree with Rose in the point that students in community college should have more acknowledgements to have better resources for their career field. There are some students who have struggled with high school education, but have decided to do something to study for a career. Most students don’t have enough time, or financial means to pay for university classes. These students then enroll in a community college.

Completing my homework without procrastinating and using my resources such as my teachers when I need help are methods I use to accomplish this short term goal. I am eager to attain my Bachelor's Degree (hopefully by 2015) and am planning to continue here at pcc for my associate degree. One of the driving motivations of my education is my children. I want them to see that it is possible to go beyond what one has, to grasp what could be. I want to finish not only my Bachelor's, but my Masters degree for myself, for them, and for the people I hope to work with I have always tried to set clear targets and reach them whatever happens.
First and most important, AP courses provide students the opportunity to excel in a challenging class. Through these courses, the students learn to study in ways that allow them to be prepared for future courses that in college. Rather than normal high school courses, AP classes are exceedingly challenging and require the students to put full effort into the work. AP English and literature teacher, Vicki Schmitt, states, “Even if you make a C in an AP class, there is value in having been in the class” (“Statistics show AP courses boost success”). Though there is much difficulty in the courses, it is more important to gather the information learned in the course and learn strong techniques for work ethic.
I need to set goals in each one of my classes and stay focused and put my school work first. The accomplishments I have made in the past relate to the information I have learned about myself in the self-assessments. In the past when it came to school work I had a tendency to become unorganized. However I learned to organize my work and learn strategies to study and eventually I found a way that seemed to fit me the most. When it come to my personality, in the past I always have put others before myself.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
I must find what interests me so that I can pick a major and know what I want to do in life. There are hundreds of different colleges to choose from so I must choose where to go and research what I need to do in order to get into that college. My SAT scores must be very good in order to get into college so I must study hard for this test. College is very expensive so I must plan and help my parents plan how to financially support the costs of college. I must stay focus when I go away to college and keep my priorities straight.
In today’s world you almost need a college education for most jobs offered on- the- job market. No matter what field of study that is chosen, time and effort will need to be applied in order to get the best education possible. Both online versus traditional education have pros and cons; the teacher’s presence, the classroom settings, and time taken to complete courses to get a degree. In both educational settings teachers are needed factors for many reasons; guidance, teaching material to the class, and just there to help students in general. Going to either traditional or online college is a big step in a student’s life, and teachers are there to help and guide them through any situations that arise.
My Learning Style How can learning styles define a person or does it really matters to achieve the goal of completing a college degree? Students see, hear and feel things in different ways, but each individual prefers one above all. Maybe it’s time to embrace what works the best to suit our needs and excel at the task given. I will discuss why I chose to finish college, how I’m catalogued in reference to my learning style and what do I think about this. My reason for seeking a college degree are many, most jobs require knowledge, advance skills, and experience.
