Tuesday: Multimedia Production 2313 Being completely honest, on the first day of class I had no clue what to expect of this course. Just from the title and description of the course I was certain it would require technical and creative skills. Two things I do not have and after I read Dr. Matthews' email I knew this class would be intense, however, that did not intimidate me. Last semester was my most difficult semester. Last semester prepared me for this semester. From a freshman to a junior I…
High School, especially my Junior year, has been academically challenging and showing me what I am capable of doing. The most challenging course I have taken is AP Chemistry, because of the difficult lessons that I needed to learn. My class, along with my teacher were great, but many materials were required for me to learn and know in preparation for the AP exam. Overall it was a little overwhelming, but when it was time to take the exam, I knew many of the answers to questions I would have…
How did you handle the situation? A time when I did not agree with a policy in a class that I was taking was when I was taking anatomy and physiology 2. During that semester I was taking fifteen credit hours and 5 months pregnant. My goal was to accomplish the semester and have my baby in June when he was due. My baby unfortunately…

He was trying to solve a problem by using abstract classes that, albeit they would have worked, took a lot more effort to implement than regular classes. The regular classes would have done the job, and although it would have been nice to customize our classes, we had a deadline and at our current rate, we were not going to make it.…
science everyday was that I got to sit next to my best friend, but another part of it was that my teacher would write or draw a riddle on the board that we would have to solve as part of our “warm up” for the day. I was really good at them. And in that class, we were always doing different projects. I got to learn about my favorite subject as well as be creative about it. We had one project that we were instructed to create a model of an animal or plant cell. All we had to do was make sure that…
PERSONAL STATEMENT As a child growing up through school I had many setbacks in my academics that I had no idea as to what path I was going down. I had entered my freshman year of college with an attitude that if I want to become someone I needed to change the way I looked at my academics. Starting out my college career I had no idea what I really wanted to be, as I was all over the place, first chemistry major and then a computer science major. I went on and tried both of the majors out thinking…
just the basics. The career center is the next level of professionalism, and I'm looking forward to trying out their services sometime. Lastly, ask my professor's what I can do to improve as a student and as a learner. I did this recently in a speech class, and the feedback I got back was very useful. Being willing to except that were not perfect, and take blows to our confidence in order to improve is important in becoming an adult, and will help us be successful in the…
