Summary: My Strategy For College Success
My Strategy for College Success
Introduction In this essay I will discuss my strategy for college success. I will first start with the reasons why I decided to attend college. I will then move into what hope to get out of going to school, you know, my career goals. Lastly I will talk about time management and my struggle with that.
My Strategy for College Success Attending college was more like a means to an end rather than something I really wanted to do.
I mean I enjoy learning new things, but more at my own pace than the time frame of a school. I am aware of the point of school, and I am all for it. I even commend those that go to work and do school all at the same time. That works very well for some people, …show more content…
but not quite for me especially online. I have to find what works for me.
Career Goals I am in the mist of changing careers from the military to hopefully finding a job doing
Transportation Logistics as a civilian.
I believe it would be more beneficial to me to get certified rather than going a degree in this field. For instance, if I had a bachelors degree in my career field would over qualify me most of the job offers they have posted. I will continue to pursue my associates degree, but most likely in a classroom setting than online. My goal from there on out is to buy my time spent in the military, so that I can retire. In order to achieve this I must get a federal equivalent job. I am looking to go anywhere to make this a dream a reality. I will travel to Europe, Asia, and even cross the border into Canada. I am just looking to one have a family, and a wife I can call my very own. Over all, I want to live by the Twelve Principles of Islam which are: knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, equality. We will continue with: food clothing shelter, love, peace and happiness. I have simple reasonable goals, nothing big.
Time Management Techniques My success in college solely depends on me. I know that I can procrastinate a lot, but it’s …show more content…
not totally my fault. For me balancing work and school is very difficult. I rather do one or the other. Now with that being said, I have decided to put school on hold until I get of the army. It’s not like I can’t manage my time.
It’s just that at the end of the day what time do I have left to manage. I get up at 4:30 am, and return home at ten o’clock at night. This is the reason why I have late assignments, and I had to pay for extra time on this class.
Summary
In summary I have discussed my career goals, and time management problems. I think I have some realistic goals and I can accomplish them on my own terms. I really want these things for me, and I know in order to get them I will have to separate myself from the military. I think it will help with my time management skill, and really bring down my stress level. Don’t get me wrong I like my job, but it is time for a change. I still believe college is a means to an end, and I need school in order to progress in my career, just not online. I’m going back to the classroom. I know I have probably killed it by saying it over and over again, but I am.
Conclusion In conclusion I have discussed my strategy for college success. I also went over my reasons for going to school. I included my career goals and my struggle with time management. I have learned my strengths and weaknesses while attending college, and in order for me to attain my goals in life I
will need to make a change. In life there is no time for procrastination. You will only be left behind.
