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.
