WHAT? ANTOHER EXAM?

The week of the final exam has already approached and I'm getting more and more nervous. Basically what I have done so far is, looked at all the essay's my professor has graded and studied what he told me to change, as positive criticism.  Before test day, I am going to make sure that I at least sleep eight hours. I will than wake up on test day, eating a good and healthy breakfast. Before I test I want to keep in mind that I need to improve staying on the topic given and elaborate with many more details. If I keep those in mind I think I will do just fine. I wish all my classmates the best on their exam!

Scrambling to Think of Ideas!

What is my writing process? Normally when given an essay to write, I normally think of ideas right away and start writing them down. Majority of the time I prefer to use a bubble map to think of ideas to put in my essay. The day I am assigned my essay, I start it and try to finish most of it. The day it is assigned is like the only day I will work on it til it's due and than I try to rush and finish it. I intend to procrastinate alot, because I have so much to do and I say I will do something, but I don't. When writing an essay I also like to use a flow map so that all I basically have to do is rewrite it in paragraph form. When thinking of what to write about it, it takes me time. It's easier for me to be given a topic than for me to choose a topic because sometimes so many things hit my mind. And sometimes I can think of nothing. I prefer it to be quiet when I'm writing an essay. Sometimes I can listen to music when writing, but it just depends what mood I'm in. When I hear any little noise I get frustrated and I just stop writing. Sometimes I also stop myself from writing to though because when I know I have homework to do, i still intend to talk a lot to my family surrounding me. Me talking also affects what I write, because my ideas will be completly be gone by the time I decide to go back writing. Eating snacks is also something I do frequently when trying to write an essay. My writing process consist of thinking, writing, procrastinating, starting right away but not finishing til its due, quite, music sometimes, and eating snacks.

Why Mountain View?

Going to Mountain View College in Dallas, Texas was my best option. I wanted to go to any school that had a nursing program. Starting off at a 2 year college, I believed was better for me so that I could see how it feels to go to college. I thought multiple times of going to El Centro in downtown Dallas, but I also thought of what would be more convient to me. Mountain View is about fifteen minutes away from my house and seven minutes from my job. I prefer to go to Mountain View College because of my family's financial issues and because it is convient for me to go home, go to school, and go to work without all of them being spaced apart.

The Sky is the Limit!

I have often asked myself, why do most teenagers nowadays prefer to have kids rather than going to college. My belief is putting school as my number one priotriy. Boys and going out to party is the furthest thing from my mind right now. Being raised in a structured military family has given me the discipline and strength I need to achieve my goals. My mom always tells me to use her as an example of why eduation is very important. As of today my mom still has no degree or career because of her poor decesions made being a teenage mother. I look at it as a postive affect on my life even though it was negative for her. I would not choose anything over going to college to be successful.
