College Experience

In high school, I hardly gave importance to school. As I was approaching my final years of high I had quite a number of internships in different enterprises. I enjoyed working behind a screen than staying in class. I used to think that the number of internships I had accumulated had forged me to become a more mature and defined person who is ready to take over the world and be successful. These thoughts utterly changed the day I stepped my foot in College. In Maryville College, I experienced a whole new feeling which I was not ready for. I had so many assignments, I had to be active in clubs, volunteer as my scholarship required me to, hit the gym in order to avoid gaining too much weight, study,  just to name a few, the  list goes on and on. I had to accomplish all these tasks in such a minuscule time. One thing that I have to admit is that College taught and incorporated in me the concept of time management. Nowadays, I am multitasking person, I no longer cry over the tremendous work I have to do but instead, I come up with a way of doing my work faster and efficiently at a given time.  I am looking forward to be a 4.0 GPA student.

Speaking of my writing and speaking experience, I have never been a vocal person who talks aloud in class. I have always kept quiet. As the say ‘’quiet people have the loudest minds.’’ In class, I am a very peaceful and quiet student whom the teacher might give the lowest grade on participation. Nevertheless, I always get the job done and done in the best ways possible when it comes to assignments, presentations or group projects. I knowledge that speaking in class has never been my forte, this is the reason as why I took this class, ENG 1100 in other to work on that weakness. I want to be a person who can be able to speak up with confidence. On the other hand, I have been receiving feedbacks from diverse professors regarding my writing. As a person whose first language is French, I feel like my writing skills are good but I am looking forward to make them even better.

In this course, ENG 1100, there are goals I am looking forward to achieve. One of them is to broaden my English speaking skills. Secondly, I would like to improve my writing and information acquisition skills. At times, I need to read a certain contextual information a myriad of times in order to capture the message conveyed. As for the experience I would like to gain from my years in college include growing maturely as a person and to be able to make wise decisions in life.
