How School Is Going So Far

How is school going for me so far? It has been stressful and fun at the same time. The fun part is that all my teachers are really awesome especially my English teacher. Mr. Still is really cool and funny and I’m able to learn and understand what my teachers are teaching.  It’s also fun because it is a lot more laid back compared to high school by not having to go to class every minute of the day.  I’m getting to know some pretty amazing people, making friends, and getting closer to my goals which is being a police officer because I want to save people lives, I want to make them better and I love the thrill of being around danger I like the feeling I get in my stomach.

The stressful part is all the overwhelming homework and limited time to do it because of my job commitment on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. However, I do complete it on time by making good use of any free time I have especially in between classes on Tuesday and Thursday.  I do my best to keep up with each class and make sure to get everything done for homework, quizzes and test. I am aware to pay attention to actively listen, understand and take all the notes I can to refer back to them when I’m unsure of the answers.  I live an hour away, work part-time and only attend class two days a week.  This restricts me somewhat from on campus resources; I just can’t run by my professors’ office, go to the library or go see a tutor.   

Overall, school has been what I imagined but because I’m actually a part of the school, I believe I can do this.  I can see myself getting my degree and move forward in life toward my lifelong dream of being a police officer.
