College 1
Professor Castro
10/23/15
Before I came to college, I already took calculus class in high school. And this semester I
took precalculus which I placed at. I thought this was not going to be hard class to me. In class I
didnt pay attention to the professor and took fewer notes. I still thought I got this, but I was
wrong. After the first test, the grade came up, and it was C. This made me so dispirited and
disappointed, because I never expected I would receive this grade. Finally I realized I have been
arrogant. Then I started to reflect. The problem was not I couldnt understand what the professor
taught in the class, it was I forgot the knowledge when I learned in high school. Therefore I
should be serious in this class just like the knowledge learned the class first time.
Though the two months in college, I knew colleges classes were harder than I thought at
first, and getting a good grade was not as easy as in high school. So I need to pay more attention
in the class. Since now, I need to look for the tutors in Teaching and Learning Center and plenty
information in library because they are good resources to help me. Also, I would like to make
new friends because college is society before we actually fin a job, so we need to bond the fix
friendship and to help each other indeed.
As been a freshman, college is still a long way that I need to walk. And I believe there are
many successes and failures are going to happen in my life. For being more successful, I think I
need to find out the reasons why I have those successes and keep them. Also, finding the
disadvantages then transfer them to good.
