As my first college semester comes to an end there are so much that I found out about myself that changed. First I noticed that I've became such a stronger person, meaning that with these 16 weeks of classes it taught me to be mentally stronger. Reason is because ever week there was something new, either it was a pop quiz, a test , blogging, or having to a group project. There was no room to be weak and I feel that I have overcame it and I feel extremely proud of myself on handling these obstacles. Also another change that I noticed about myself is that I'm being an excellent time management person and reason why I think so is because I found time to do everything I wanted and everything that I needed to do, and with that it also taught me on how to be more responsible. However even though there were great moments and improvements that doesn’t mean that there were challenges, and boy were there challenges. First that big challenge that was dealing with and still dealing with is having to work part-time. Reason why is because there were some weeks that I was working closely to 40 hours and still managing on studying and doing my homework. art of the reason why I found this challenging is because I always had self doubt on if I can make it through and overcome this obstacle but I may never know until the end. That’s something that I'm going to have to face through out my college semester. With these challenges my immediately reaction was stress, and as a college student that’s very bad because it shows in your work and you can receive a bad grade on and that can cause more stress. But the way how I handle it is that I took one day at a time and with that I made sure that I had at least 30 minutes to myself, wither it was watching TV or just having a quiet time to myself trying to find some peace with myself. 
But even though there were challenges there were improvements. One huge improvement is that my writing has become much, much more stronger and since it is becoming more stronger my confidence in my writing is becoming much more better and I'm starting to feel that I can handle any essay that will come across me, and I feel very proud of myself of that and also is just being able to say that I am a college student. Those to are most definitely my biggest achievements. Some of the habit that made me accomplish my achievements is having a positive attitude on everything and being determined, and looking at the outcome of why I decided to attend college and that outcome is having a successful career and being happy with life. It was all about having the right mindset that made this semester possible for me.
As being a college student doesn’t mean you can escape from that grading system that we all know. For me grades this semester was a wake up call for some of my classes. The one class that I was an actual wake up call for me was my math class. Reason is because when my professor posted my midterm grade and when I seen that I was a F my heart dropped. I knew that I was having trouble with that class but never knew that I was having that much trouble. However with hard work and determination I was able to rise my grade from an F to a C plus just in time for finals. Overall being able to see my grades were very helpful.
As this semester ends I'm starting to come up with goals for next semester. One goal that I am coming up with is just being true to myself and being determined to do my best at whatever I am doing.
