Midterm and Exam check in

I have never been a good student to take tests and exams. My hands get sweaty, my knees get wobbly and my back gets stiff. I tend to cram and cram the night before and try to remember on the day of the test.  The best thing I did was just get through it and pushed myself to attend as many classes as I could.

 I coordinated my very full schedule by allowing myself time with the kids, time to myself and time to study.  What is different this time around is that, I feel not only motivated but I know I can do this.  What I learned from this class is that, I have the tools that I need to make sure I do my best.  This term I didn’t do as well as I should because of outside factors but it did give me the drive to really deal with problems head on and find ways to overcome them.  I quit quitting and got started at starting.

Now that this semester is at the end, I find myself disappointed that I had to defer a few of my final exams because of my family circumstance but I know these options are available for students who find themselves in this predicament.  Life happens and we learn not only our limits but also what we are unlimited in.  I have unlimited support from my dad and my family and I have but limits on how long I let problems keep me down.  The challenges that I faced this semester will only be a moment in time as life keeps going onto the next semester.  I know that I have what it takes and I will do better next semester.
