October

October has came and next week it will go. It has been a long month that has challenged me in different ways and kept me on my toes. I had my first mid-terms and I got a new job. I am glad to say that I will be ending the month a better student then at the beginning of the month. I don't mean necessarily that my grades are a whole lot better, but I think that I have become a better  student because I have become more organized with my school work. I have dropped my first class ever, my math class. I tried my best to stick with my math class and to pass the class, but things just weren't planning out. After getting my mid-term grades I was shocked to see that one failing grade made all my other grades seem like they weren't there. It was really hard for me to see that my GPA was so low, to low for my scholarship requirements. I really didn't want to drop my Math class, but it was just a level of Math that I could not learn at. When I was in high school I was just as horrible in math, but I managed to pass my math classes. Actually I passed all of my Math classes with really good grades, but that is because I had time to do my homework. I knew that College Algebra was going to be hard for me, but I never expected that it would hurt my confidence. It didn't matter how much I tried on my assignments and homework, I could never achieve the grades I wanted. It was a really big wake up call for me when I realized that I just couldn't handle my Math class. I always thought that I was smart and had something to offer, but since I have joined Texas Lutheran University, I have realized that I am a tiny fish surrounded by sharks. I know that I have a shark somewhere in me and it is starting to some out in me. I will do what ever it takes to succeed and have good grades, and nothing will stand in my way. I have one goal in sight, to become a teacher, and it is the one thing I want most. Some people tell me that the Education program is really hard to get into at Texas Lutheran University, but I know that I will make it.
