The truth I posted last week was number two: I’m really
into Alfred Hitchcock films.
I’m
currently enrolled in eight units at Oxnard College, consisting of a statistics
class and an English composition class. This is my second part time semester at
OC. Prior to attending OC I attended Ventura College from 2007 – 2009 then graduated
in 2009 with my A.S. in Accounting. I’m really regretting not following the
correct curriculum, at VC, in order to transfer to a four year school. When I
started in 2007 I was very motivated but towards the end I just wanted to
finish. I was over it but didn’t want to take a semester off because I felt I
would never go back if I did. I neglected to take to necessary courses to
transfer so as a result, now that I’m interested in transferring, I was forced
to enroll at OC to finish my transfer requirements.
Although,
I wish I could transfer to a four year school already, I feel good to be back
at school in general. I hate that at times I allow my personal life to take a
major toll on me because it affects my school work so much. I’ve had to teach
myself not to over think things in my life so that I can focus on what matters
most, like my education. What bugs me the most about school right now is the
amount of homework I have. I know it’s beneficial for me to do it so that I can
get the most out of the class but sometimes it’s very difficult to juggle it
with family and other personal things I would like to make time for. I also
hate how understaffed the counseling/transfer center is at OC. Just about every
time I’ve had to see a counselor I’ve had to wait over an hour and a half. I
know all the homework and practice will be more than worth it in the end.
My parents could not be
prouder of me for wanting to pursue more than a high school education and for
setting an example for my brothers and sisters. I feel getting an education is
going to open many doors in my life and I feel it’s the greatest investment I
can make. My parents and feeling that way is what keeps me motivated.
Yes homework and pratice will be worth it at the end.
ReplyDeleteI knew it was #2! Its hard to juggle everything. And hey, we're human so i don't blame you for those personal things getting in the way of school work. We all go through it. I respect you for going to school and working because i know how hard it is.
ReplyDeleteThat's good that you set a good example for your younger brother and sisters.

ReplyDeleteIt was a really smart descision to go back to school, even though it's at OC getting your transfer credits. Good Luck, hoope you finish soon!
ReplyDeleteThe transfer center does take forever! Its good that you came back to school and that you are setting a good example for your siblings. Keep up the good work I'm sure you will achieve what you are aiming for.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you got a degree! But unfortunate that the transfer lags...
ReplyDeleteSchool is always a great investment.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go back in time and be in your shoes. I decided having fun was more important and boy did reality hit me now, lol. Be the way since you posted that you are "Hitchcock" fan; is your background from the movie "The Birds"?
ReplyDeleteNo it's not it just really reminded me of The Birds so I used it :)
DeleteI know what you mean sometimes I do not want to do anything when I get home then I realize that I have homework. Keep up the good work it will pay off. Good luck.
ReplyDeletehey girl just keep it up, you will achieve everything you want, I bet : )
ReplyDeleteIt is hard when you want to balance family and school sometimes. I agree on the part that everything that you’re going through will be worth it at the end. Keep it up. I know you’ll make it!
