Decent Essays
1. An outer obstacle that stands between me and my success in college is focusing not knowing what to do next after I graduate from college from getting my associated degree in Criminal Justice. I would like to keep going for my bachelor’s degree but I would like to walk again from the chemotherapy that I took made my legs very weak and would like to get my strength back and focus 100% on me on exercising none stop.
2. Someone besides me who could help me overcome this outer obstacle is my husband he has told me after I graduate to stop going to school so I can put all my effort into my legs so I can walk again and then after I accomplish my goal then I would go back for my dream that is to graduate with my bachelor’s and my masters in Criminal

    When I first started university, I had to go to an advising session; while, I do not remember what it was about, The one thing that managed to grab my attention was when the advisor said “I can spot a freshman a mile away” when someone asked her how, she replied” just search for people who look lost and confused”. It struck a chord deep within me because I was really lost and confused, not only that but also anxious, friendless, and afraid of all the responsibilities and of the possibility of failing. While my family assured me that these obstacles are the key element in becoming more responsible, and overcoming them will allow me to discover my strengths and weaknesses. I, on the other hand, felt like these obstacles were not character builders, but more like energy and time consumers that affected the academic performances and health of both my peers’ and myself. I strongly believe that fixing these problems should be one of the university’s priorities.…

    Another challenge that was entirely relative to others who want to learn is distracting classmates like the people who just talk and not really care about either they pass or not me I would be mad but I’m determined to not let that interrupt my learning education also, the teacher knows that there are students who like me are very eager to learn. But the biggest challenge of all is the Semester exams, Benchmarks, and Starr tests because well even though I study, review my notes and go to tutoring sessions I still end up being confused on a question I never even went over in my notes so what I do is two weeks before a test what I do is I review everything I learned and I go to tutoring sessions every single time I can. These challenges are small because as long as I stay focused and do the best I can and I will be able to overcome my obstacle this obstacle has changed me in my life because it allowed me to use my full potential of learning and it made me realize in order for me to pass I will have to study and review my work also try my absolute hardest to understand the work. This experience has taught me is if I remain focused and continue my work I will be able to pass high school and move on to college as long as I use my resources like my teachers I understand that they will help me to understand and complete any assignment that I have trouble with and most importantly if I can’t make any tutoring sessions I can review my notes, work, or any assignment that I went over in class.…
