Looking at how close it is to the end of the semester, I am surprised, firstly it’s because the semester is almost over and secondly, how far I have gone since the first day (of the semester.)My motivation level is still at the same level as it was; excited, ready to “rock and roll.” Not being boastful though, I just have reasons or the motivation(s) to do so. Firstly, I wanted to redeem myself, last semester I was in a class but dropped, in retrospect it was about the same time (now) when I quit. Of course, I had to take the class again; it’s ironic though how right now were on the same chapter as I was when I dropped the class. With that said, I am more confident due to the fact, I can do it!
Secondly, my scholarship, I was awarded a performance-based scholarship. Meaning in order for the awardee to claim it, he/she has to send a transcript: with 6 units minimum, gpa of 2.5 minimum. I was not able to claim, because or those requirements. Fortunately, I can still claim it. Although the scholarship is a big factor of why I am motivated to do well, it is not entirely just that. I do not get any financial help, therefore my parents pay the tuition and it is nowhere inexpensive. With the scholarship, it is as if, I do get financial aid, the money not only will support my education but also my parents, it will reduce the amount of what they will actually spend.
Lastly, my parents; I owe my life to them. I would like to (in the future) repay them through, pampering. I believe by the time I am finished with school and became a nurse ( for few years,) they will be or soon be retiring, my Dad has mentioned his plans or wishes once he’s retired; go back to the Philippines with my mother and just be on “vacation.” I would like to give them that, comfort, relaxation, happiness.
Good for you that you are back taking Read 96. I always hear people drop out and don't return. I'm a student returning after twenty years.Congradulation on recieving your scholarship. I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteThats so sweet you plan to help out your parents in the future. I hope to be a nurse too in the future . I'm a little nervous about the classes I'm going to have to take to become one but , I think I'll be ok . I hope you get your scolarship! good luck in the future :)
ReplyDeleteThats great your taking the same class again. Most people just do there time in class, but you seem to have the motivation to actually try to get better. Its good that your not just doing it for your parents, but that your doing it for more importantly, yourself.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are still motivated in your studies and that you want to pay back your parents for what they have given you. Keep working hard cause it is all going to pay off!
