    In addition to enjoying my time of school, during the first few weeks of summer vacation the summer assignments were sent in along with the names of what teachers and classes you will have. At first I was thinking to myself, who are these teachers and what do they teach in the class called Inquiry Skills. I thought it was a class that was kind of like psychology but in a more basic level ( boy was I wrong.)

Writing an essay on the book named Anthem for English was unbearable for the fact I never understood the book, answering a multitude of questions for the Greek story called the Iliad was…

But it’s not always about problems, stress and sadness, there's also good times, like when we went to camp duncan in 6th grade, when I performed in the V-Show in 7th grade,…

    “I’m ready, I’m ready” says my childhood star-Spongebob before starting each day of work. This was also the same attitude with which I started my junior year with. Unfortunately, unlike Spongebob I did not end up continuing with that same attitude. The year was 2016, and I was certainly filled with hope for the new school year, but all to no avail.…

    What I did not realize, was that summer classes move along much more swiftly than the regular semester. Additionally, I did not anticipate the amount of required reading and paper writing needed for each class. I had been out of school for nearly 25+ years, and I did not know how to use MS-Office correctly when writing a paper, thus I was off to a rough start. Therefore, if one is planning to return to school, meeting with an academic or advisement counselor is a good idea. I did not do this, I had done all of this online without ever meeting with someone who would advise me on how to the process works.…
