Having been determined to attend UBCO for nursing, I focused on taking courses with transferable credit. Though I subsequently lightened my course load, I occupied the remainder of my time devoting myself to various volunteer opportunities with diverse client populations. I believe familiarity with the hands on aspect of nursing is as essential as my education. I maintained my grades while balancing multiple volunteer opportunities to gain priceless experience caring for individuals with varying demands. Upon admission to UBCO, I will embrace the opportunity to start a full time course load while continuing the compassion and empathy I learned.…
An obstacle I have encountered was my AP Calculus class. At the beginning of the course it was very difficult as my prior mathematics teacher had informed me. Besides having a big transition in the level of math, there was more to the class. I had failed the first test and was ready to drop the class. However, I was not ready to give up so I decided to keep the class and work harder. I dealt this this problem by taking more time out of my day to go over the material being learned. This meant I had to put in more time along with some of my peers that helped organize a small study group. This was an important factor in order to be successful in the class because the information being learned was difficult.…
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” This quote is found in chapter 3 of our textbooks by Les Brown. The meaning of this chapter speaks about the benefits of setting short and long term goals, the aspects of effective goals, the importance of goal progress and some of the best ways to fight against procrastination. This chapter has given me the most information out of the rest. I feel that these topics are all important for each college student, because in order to get homework done you need to know how to study, work and not procrastinate.…

Hello, I'm Stephanie Gischel. I have been at CCBC since 2014 and have changed my major approximately 6 times. I finally found a passion in Early Childhood Development and decided to stick with it. I have eight nieces/nephews and I have had the pleasure of watching each of them grow and learn through myself and others. I'm extremely excited about this course and learning the different ways that different minds work and learn, and learning new information myself along the…
One lesson I learned from The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is that challenges are there for a reason, and I have to push through them. He said, “the brick walls are there for a reason. They’re not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.” (Pausch 59) By this he means that challenges will be present throughout life, but they test the individual's determination. He said “they’re there to stop the other people.” (Pausch 80) The “other people” are the lazy ones, who don’t have the power to push through obstacles. To be successful in life many challenges will arise, and the most determined will go further. Challenges in life may knock people around and cause rough times. Pausch said…
Recognize barriers to achieving your goal and set up ways to avoid or deal with them…
One of these challenges would be using my time wisely at times during school. With being in a fall sport this makes it very tough with homework. After school I have practice that gets over around 5 or 5:30. Then I get home and eat dinner and it is already 6:45 or 7. Then I have to complete all of my homework and I stay up fairly late. I have persevered through this by just finishing my homework and by not giving up on the homework. Also, I have tried very hard lately to get homework done during school, so I don't have to do it when I get home. This has been my greatest challenge, while being at Plymouth High…
As I thought about what I would write for this, the first question I asked myself was: what kind of writer was I when I began this course. The answer to the question would be not a very good one. I struggled big time with grammar and punctuation when I began this class. I also struggled with my writing process. I learned quickly this year that I would not be able to just sit down and write an “A” paper without doing much prep work and tons of research on both sides of an argument. One of my biggest takeaways from Comp 101 was how to rely on my classmates for help.…
