Sweet Summer

1.) What was most encouraging and motivating to you and why?

* For me, the most encouraging in the summer scholars program was the idea that we would get the credits from the class that I am taking right now. College is very different from high school; instead of going to school everyday, I can go to school in a schedule that suits me. Also, to graduate, it is based in how many credit hours I made while in college. Many careers have different credit hours that one has to complete in order to get the diploma and have your dream career.
The most motivating about the program has to be challenges. Like I said, college is very different from high school and it’s a little harder because of more homework and more time that has to be spent in class, but all that work pays off sooner or later.

2.) What was the most challenging and why?

* Time, why? Because there is more work to do and sometimes even hours are spent in just homework. Some people think that college is supposed to be the most memorable years of our lives and it is true, that is why oneself should take his/her time in it and enjoy activities with friends and family so no pressure is on mind. Another challenge while in the summer scholars was the class itself, I’m not saying it’s extremely hard, but it is more work. The good thing is that most of the work is easy, for example, History 1110 is just based on readings and answering questions, easy huh?

3.) What did you learn about yourself? Describe the experiences that led you to this new information about yourself.

* I learned that I needed to take more time in my class and not just fun with friends because the week in residence, I didn’t pay too much attention to my school work, I’m not saying I didn’t do my homework, I did it but I was just thinking in what was I going to do the rest of the afternoon. Good thing I didn’t get a bad grade in my homework. But school work is something that I knew I needed to take care of the most.

4.) What experiences have made a difference or have had a positive impact on you and why?

* New friends. Many of the new people in the summer scholars program were new to me, but as the weeks passed by, I met new friends and realized that they might have an important impact in my life and my future. Some say that meeting new people on college changes people’s lives and that is true. I met a friend that is like a brother to me and that is just one of the experiences that made am impact in my life.
