This semester, truthfully, is going amazing. I have pretty
much straight A's in my classes, and I'm very proud of myself. Last semester,
however, is a different story. I failed 2 out of the 4 classes I took, and in
the other 2 classes, I got C's. I am very disappointed in that semester because
I know that I can do better. I allowed myself to become discouraged, and I
basically gave up. Instead of taking care of assignments, I blew them off. I
used excuses about being tired and spending time with my daughter, when I
could have made better priorities. I pretended that I didn't care about my
classes, when in reality, they are very important to me. I wasted time and money on classes that I
didn't put my all into, and there really is no excuse why.
So I vowed that this semester would be different for me.
From the first day of each of my classes, I made a mental plan as to how I was
going to succeed. Even though the semester isn't over yet, I am so surprised
and pleased with myself because I didn't allow anything to stand in the way of
my progress. I reminded myself of my main motivation, which is my daughter. I
had to sit back and think about her and what type of example I was setting for
her. When she grows up and goes to school, I have to be able to tell her from
experience that hard work pays off, and slacking is unacceptable. She is really
the most important person in my life, and time spent at school should be time
spent bettering myself, so that I can raise her better. I can't allow myself to
waste time away from her when I should really be focused on our futures!
