Blog post 6

This week I decided that I want to talk about being determined and not loosing my way. Before I came to uncc I was given different speeches from various family members telling me not to loose my way and stay focus, of course I thought I was grown and knew everything and said i was going to be okay. When I got here I slowly started to loose my way, I forgot the real reason I came to college. I would stay out late and kept putting off doing my work until it started to stack up. I still thought that I could handle it until I saw that I failed all of my first test, the person i was becoming wasn't the real me. I finally realized that I was the one getting myself in trouble instead of partying I should've got my work done. I became really sad and told myself that I was going to give up and not return next fall, but then I thought about it, I dont want to go back home and stay there forever I came to college to get an education. I wasn't just going to give up because times got hard I was going to stay determined and make it through. Your college experience is what you make of it so from now on im going to stay determined because I know I can be a great student and succeed. I hope other people that are going through hard times realized why they came to college and stay determined to be sucessful in life.

Midterm Assignment

For our midterm assignment me and my writting gruop met at Adkins Library at 9:30 am. When we met we didnt know what we wanted to use as our mentor text. We decided to walk around until we see what we would find. Eventually we decided to go to the 6th floor of the library to find a book. We picked up a lot of book but we didnt like them, then after 30 minutes of searching we came across a book called "There once lived a woman who tried to kill her neighbors baby". It was a book about scary fairy tales. Nora read a story to us and we wrote one of our own. I really enjoyed this assignment even though I didnt think that I would. I had a lot of fun searching for books in the library. I been in the library a few times to study and do homework but I learned somethimg new about the library, I had no clu that the library had some many floors. I even checked out one of the books that I found. I'm really happy that we did this assignment.
