Bettering Myself, For Myself.

Upon my arrival to this school, I thought it wasn’t for me. A random town in the middle of Nowhere-ville, Maine. I found myself filling my own head up with so many negative thoughts. At this point I was set on the fact that school wasn’t for me and that I wasn’t at the same level as my peers. All of these thoughts simply led me down a dark path; one that caused me to need the help and support of those around me… Sooner rather than later. Eventually I would seek that help. That meant putting all of my bad tendencies in the past and taking life one day at a time. Not letting little things overwhelm me was the biggest part. I started taking more time out of my hectic days to hone in and make sure I was completing all of my assignments. Realizing that my Professors were not out to get me was also important. In the end every person here supports you and wants to see you succeed. Specifically one class I had the most trouble in was English. I wasn’t showing up for class. And when I did, I had done no work to prepare for the hour and twenty minutes ahead of me. Little did I all it took for me to do better was to reach out to my Professor and talk the issues I was having out and then we would accommodate to them. All he wants is to see me strive and prosper. Though there have been a few bumps in the road to my inevitable success, I feel as though i’m taking the necessary steps to adapt and become a more hard working college student.

I think its cool being able to explain and share my thoughts and emotions that were going on at the time with other people who are glad to read and give positive feedback. Its always reassuring knowing that someone is there on the other side rooting you on.
