1) In order for myself to keep up with the requirements for this course, I have been keeping a calendar for all assignments including reflections, to stay on top of the work. If I know when the assignments are specifically due I can manage my time and make sure everything for every week is done before the due date.
2) I felt like giving up when I was taking marketing at UF, I was deeply struggling and I studied for hours every day starting a week before each exam and I just could not get the material to a perfect point. I was going to drop the course at one point. Honestly, the only thing that kept me going was knowing that I only have 2 drops every 4 semesters, and I wasn't going to waste it on marketing when I know I have tougher classes in my future. Recently, I have been focused on not only school but my career, and stepping stones to build myself for a good career in the field I am hoping to be in. This for sure describes my tenacious attitude.
3) three tips I would give a student in the future would be;
- Keep the mindset of achieving what you want and you will be able to push yourself further and harder for something you truly love and want.
- Getting a tenacious mindset isn't too hard when you harness the strive for something you love and use that as your fuel to drive you in everything you do whether it is school, a job, socially, just everything and anything.
-I would also say have a plan to get what you want but take into consideration there are infinite roads to achieve your goals and any road is good to take as long as it leads to the endgame.
Hey Nicholas, I enjoyed reading your post this morning! I can relate to many of things being said as it is all about mindset. Your mindset is the deciding factor on how you will do in your life and goals, rather than your actual abilities. People would not be in the places they were without their mindset. A successful person is successful due to their mindset from the beginning and an individual who is "failing" will always be "failing" if they do not change their mindset as a whole.
ReplyDeleteNicholas, I also keep a calendar of my assignments. I find that when I am aware of the assignments that are coming up, I find it easier to prepare and turn in those assignments on time. I also find it is important to work ahead so we don't fall behind. Good post.
