As we move into week two of our program, I am feeling a bit more comfortable with the new programs I am working with. I can see one of the biggest road blocks to my Degree is myself. I worry so much about not being able to complete my Degree and yet I have overcome so many challenges in the past. I need to give myself more credit and walk this road with confidence.
In order to accomplish my educational goals I have surrounded myself with supportive people. I also know how important it is to be organized and allow enough time to complete my assignments. I have an office at home and have talk with my family about not coming in when the "In Class" sign is on the door. They are extremely supportive which I am tremendously grateful for.
When things come up in life that cause interference with my goal, I will take a personal inventory about what is more important. I will stay in contact with my professors and fellow students. I will access all available resources to help me continue my education.
I take an active role in my education and know this is up to me. I will continue to work hard to understand, complete and participate in all assignments given. I know all of the assignments and classes work together to give us the best most complete education. I will respect the opinion of my fellow student and my professors. I will listen to them with an open mind and try to understand their prospective. This is one of the best ways to learn through other peoples experiences. I know they are also a valuable asset now and in the future.
Hi Jodie,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your journey in this program so far. I like how you have "in class" time and that your family is going to respect that time. I haven't made those plans yet, but I think I will now. I do not have kids at home anymore like you do and so if I can just train my husband to respect my space and time, I'll be good. The fact that you have supportive people around you is such a blessing and going to help you out so much. I love Lake County, you and your family are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. Stay focused on your goals and you will achieve them. Good luck and I look forward to interacting with you as our program progresses.
