Question
Your reflection
How would you define academic readiness?
I would define academic readiness as being ready,willing and able to let yourself learn.Having the mindset to be ready to take on one of the hardest obstacles of your life.Learning new things doesn't come easy to everyone.Especially me. I graduated high school 16 years ago,and vowed to never continue my education because I was scared and had low self-esteem.I learned over the years that I can do things,even if its hard or uncomfortable,if I set my mind to it.I am ready,academically,and personally to learn and to achieve my goals,because I need to be and deserve to be.
What concerns, if any, do you have with academic writing and reading?
I'm concerned mainly with writing essays.Since its been many years since I've had to write anything lengthy or of any real importance,I'm not very confident about it.I am,however,confident in my spelling and reading skills.I am looking forward to developing new skills in writing and learning how to put a good essay in order,since there are many resources available to help me.
What two university resources will you use to strengthen your writing and reading skills (refer to your Student Resources Worksheet)?
The first resource I will be using is the Center for Writing Excellence.I can get live assistance,step by step guide's and tutorials.I believe this will be a wonderful opportunity to learn different writing techniques and to make sure I am doing it all properly.The second resource I will utilize are the workshops.In my spare time,I will set a goal of at least 2 hours a week participating in a writing workshop to further my learning.
