Personal Narrative: A Career In College
When somebody decides to enroll in a college they are ushering in change for their life. They are telling themselves that they want to learn and accomplish more things. College is one of the most important times of your life. It creates a stepping stone for the career a student might choose. When someone starts college, they will have a mixed range of emotions. I have very important advice for a first-time college student. A friend of mine decided to enroll himself in college as soon as he graduated high school. He was so excited for his classes, and he could not wait to start learning. When he received his first homework assignment, he did not complete it until the morning it was due. My friend kept thinking that he could procrastinate all
of his assignments and complete them at the last minute. This created a snowball effect to the point where he eventually did not do anything his teacher assigned him. He failed his first college class, because he procrastinated all of his work. When someone walks into a college classroom, they must be ready to learn. They must actually try to pass the class. The student must use the resources the teacher may give them. When a teacher tells a student to read a specific chapter in a book, the student must do it. If they want to further themselves, they cannot expect to be lazy and not do work. The best advice that I can give someone is to try their best. If someone is trying their best still not understanding the information, at least the student can walk away from the class, and understand that they gave it everything they had. They tried there best, and there is no shame in that. In some cases, a professor may see how hard someone is trying and help them understand the material presented to them.
When I started college, I used the advice my father gave me. He told me to “Finish all of your work, do not be lazy, and be all you can be.” Whether it is a students first time in college, or their last, they can benefit from this advice. If a student wants to succeed at college, these three things are very important.
