My Reflection On Enrolling At Mayland Community College

Superior Essays
Final Reflection

For my major I have chosen Elementary Education, I believe that this major will be the best fit for me because of my passion for working with kids. Next fall, I plan on enrolling at Mayland Community College and hope to earn my associate’s degree and then I am going to transfer to a four- year university to earn my bachelor’s degree. The top three colleges I am considering for transfer are East Tennessee State University, Appalachian State University, and Mars Hill University. I have not applied to any of these colleges yet, so, therefore, I haven’t been accepted yet. I would begin going to the University in the fall of 2018 and I would hopefully graduate the spring of 2020.

A few of these that I feel that I have strongly put to use are the following. I have identified my learning style, which I believe will greatly help me in my future educational experience.

Now that I know my learning style I feel that I can customize my learning to help me better learn the material I am studying. Another of the quick tips that I believe that I have utilized is being prepared. I think that over the semester, I have overall been prepared for class and I feel that this is one of the best qualities a student can possess. I believe being prepared shows your teacher or professor that you are serious about the class and about your education. The final quick tip I believe I have utilized is becoming engaged in my learning. I have done a lot of research on colleges and scholarships and have become engaged in learning what steps can help me succeed in my education and I feel that this will benefit me throughout my education. However, there are several of these quick tips that I have not utilized yet but that I feel would be beneficial to my education. First of all, I would like to improve my note-taking skills, I have always had a problem with taking effective notes, and I believe, in a way, that has hindered my education. In the future, I hope …show more content…
