My first semester at Texas A&M made me realize how quickly time transgresses. As a student that came in with an abundant amount of hours to the university, I feel that each day I spend in class is invaluable. With the credit hours I came in with, I am set to graduate in the Spring of 2018. Knowing that my time on campus is much shorter than other students, I find each day a valuable experience and memory. Academically, I feel at ease since I came in with much experience in rigorous courses and have always been a disciplined student. The coursework has been interesting and has made me realize that Political Science is the right major for me. I find lessons intriguing and find myself excited to learn more. Upon beginning classes I feel reassured

The change from a life completely dependent upon my parents to a life where I am solely responsible for myself and all my actions was perhaps the most challenging aspect of this semester. I have come to realize how much my experiences inside and outside of my classes will shape me throughout my time at Texas A&M.
Since my 4-year plan has been shortened to a 2-year plan due to my determination to graduate early, I have come to the realization that I need to mature at a much faster pace. During my first two months at Texas A&M, I began to have second thoughts about wanting to graduate early, because i was unsure if I would be able to keep up academically and socially. I realized the vast amount of maturity and responsibility I would need to approach my decisions with and many times I felt quite overwhelmed. My personal feelings in the beginning of the semester really engendered self-doubt, but were all part of the drastic change I was not accustomed to.

I have been informed of the Danube Summer Institute (DSI) and hope to apply to it soon and attend next Summer. I think that studying abroad will expose me to different ways of life and help me understand a worldview of politics. It is also an experience that will change me and allow me to grow socially, a skill that I have lacked, but hope to improve. I will try my best to find financial aid and scholarships so I can make this dream come true. As a student that endeavors to attend law school, next Summer I will also focus heavily on studying for the LSAT which is critical to my acceptance into law school. My studying will carry on into my Fall Semester of my senior year, during which I will also begin applying to law schools. At the moment I have decided to apply to law schools in Texas, specifically Texas A&M law school and UH law. I think that this semester will be the most demanding since I will not only have to attend to my academic responsibilities, but also will have to deal with taking the LSAT and applying to law school. It will be a test of my time management and stress management skills. I will have to persevere and utilize my time in the best way I can. I think that the skills I gain during this semester will be the most critical for my development and success as a person. During this time I will heavily rely in advising from the Professional School
