Out of many applicants to this programs only forty-five of us made it. Our first challenge was to learn how to start living with strangers, most of them that we had never seen. But this week we completed our first real college life, as we started classes. We had to wake up right in the morning to take a shower, get ready, breakfast, and check that we had all of our assignments completed on time.
Pressures was on, and as the week kept on going most of us discover our weakness as students. The most frequent one is time management, since as high school students we had all of our assignments completed on time management, since as high school students we tent to waste time in nonesense things but now we got to learn how to be college people.Learning managing time, where to get help, applying foe scholarships, and getting to know what exactly comities look for in scholarship applications are some lectures that we had on College 101 taught by Maria Garza and Elizabeth Blanco.
From the firstday of class Mrs. Fountain my ENGL 1200 she assign us to read "Dreams from my Father" an aoutbiographical book wrote by Barack Obama. We have to read daily and in class we discuss what we read and how he implies all those techniques that are useful for writing our own autobiography. Which will be the last final assignment; which it is been broken onto four Narrative Essays. Every Monday we have to turn in a rough draft and on Fridays a final draft with the discussions on class, the professor makes us think outside of the box and ask ourselves questions of why we do or think things the way we do them. First week was challenging now i have to keep working hard to overcome all the other four weeks left.
