What did I learn about Personal Responsibility?

What I learned about personal responsibility is that I have to take actions on my own. They are gonna be times that your professor see you doing your work and makingan effort but that doesnt mean you have to slack off and except them to give you a break. You have to be responsible with your action and alway be positive with the chocies you make. In the long run it would be the best thing you make. Always stay true to yourself and dont let other people make chocies for you.

Transition from High School to College.

October 5,2010
Being in High school for four years I have grown accustom to having everything being handed to me in a way. I didn’t have to worry about schedules, what classes I had to take and didn’t have to take. Having a lunch time and knowing what time I had to go and come out. But now starting my first year in college it has become a very big change for me. I had to figure what classes I had to take for myself. I constantly had to make sure if all my financial aid stuff was up to date and had to worry about it being that way because my classes could be cancelled. Also I had to make sure I had enough money to eat or have transportation money to get to class. I had to make sure I had money to pay for my books. It’s been difficult but I am managing to get threw it.

Shifting to College - Level Work (Challenges)

1. Based on your group discussion, name one challenge of trasitioning to college that you personally find challenging?
One big that I had this year was having to make sure if my fincial aid processed in time and making sure the school had all my documents.
 
2. Describe two specific actions that you commit to taking in order to overcome this challenge.
One action I took to overcome that challenge was having to take the time to ask questions and go to different rooms to figure out if people have my documents and if they needed anything else.
 
Another action I took was being more self aware of my things and being up to date with my things i had to do. I made sure to not wait till the last mintue to do things.
