GEN 200 Week 1 DQ 1 Post a 150- to 200-word response to the following discussion question by clicking on What major obstacles—personal, professional, or academic— will you need to overcome in order to be successful in school? Describe how you will use at least two specific time management strategies to help maximize the use of your time during this class and to reach your educational goals. The main obstacle that I will have to defeat is balancing work, my routine working out at the gym and school. I work from 7:45 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Head to the gym after work for an hour or so four times a week.

Being an individual who believes having a social life is very important, this knowledge of college life allowed me to prepare myself for it at an earlier level. I enjoy going out with friends and family, attending school events, going to parties, going to all my school basketball games, and all that falls under a social category. I learned to balance my social and academic life very well over the years and I am proud to say that my grades can speak on that statement. I know I have the ability to take on college life and I cannot wait for my journey to begin. Being a Latina, a number of stereotypes are already placed upon me.
A college degree can get you far in life although many that are far didn’t even complete high school not everyone has the same luck. People seek a college degree for different reasons; my reason is for a backup plan if my first plan doesn’t work. I believe everyone should have a backup plan just in case one door closes you have the ability to open another. A college degree means a lot to me right now as a young woman in this world. It increases my ability to do something and gives me more opportunities.
My name is sam , and I feel lucky to say that I am currently studying my passion of becoming a veterinary technician. I was 19 years old when I first started looking for classes in my area that met my criteria and after a frustrating search I thought there was nothing! Then I found Penn Foster, a school that allows me to stay home, study and also go to work and be with family and friends. I wasn’t sure that online school was the best choice for me but I wasn’t ready to move away from my family and friends just yet. The only veterinary technician school was five hours from home and I did not have the money to move away.
The program was designed to encourage reading, students go to the school library and select books to read that have a green sticker on the front. After reading the book, they can go to the computer, log in on the Reading Counts program, and answer 10 questions about the book. Every student was required to pass at least two quizzes every month from 7th to 8th
I will decide how much time between my two jobs I have time to at least start my class work. Next, on Monday, I will begin the routine I planned out on Sunday. Making sure I am setting aside enough time for rest and my class work. Next, on Tuesday through Thursday, I will continue the same routine. Then, on Friday, I will set aside time at the end of the day to proofread my work and type it up.
I wasn't going to let it ruin my week I didn't have the two classes that exact Monday I had them on Fridays basically I was in class the whole day. As Friday came I got ready and took extra time to make sure I was not late and to make sure I could choose a seat. I arrived to the campus I could not find my first class as I should have came prepared. I did a couple of circles until I figured out the number pattern. As I got to my class all the things I felt were gone away I was ready to tackle this class.
I will spend a set amount of time on each class certain days. On the days I do not schedule for classes, if I have free time, I can catch up on any assignment I need to. The way I am juggling school and family responsibilities will be to set aside time for school in the morning while my children are at school and my husband is at work. By doing so, I will have plenty of time for my family responsibilities in the afternoon and at night. When I get a job I will change my school time to after the kids have gone to bed, so it doesn’t interfere with my family time.
