I wasn't able to do the project I originally wanted to but I think it still came out good hope you like it !! :)

Self assesment

As a freshman at Southern Connecticut State University I have learned so much about myself as a person. I grew up out of that depending on mommy and daddy stage. Not only am I more independent at home with money I am more independent in my studies. I have learned that college is not like high school. You cannot slide by you have to do all your work and show up to class because the smallest thing might hurt you the most. It is crazy because I knew that yes doing my work was important but I prioritized things in school other then putting the same effort into each and ever one of my subjects. Honestly my challenge of the year was time management. My time management was horrible! In the beginning of the year I was playing softball for the women’s team at school however that was not working out with me. I grew as a person and realized that playing wasn’t for me anymore. It took up to much time that did not have any benefits for me other then that I loved to play. But just like many others in life they have to give up things they love to make a better living for themselves. Yes I might kick myself in the behind later in life but right now it felt like the right choice to make. Not only was it a big time consumer for me but it put so much stress on me and my grades were dropping due to this so I decided to put school first which I should have done in the first place. For me leaving the sport I loved so much hurt a lot but has honestly changed my life. I got my first job and I am saving up money to get a apartment by the winter of next year. With getting a job and not playing softball I had a lot more time for school work. However all my time went into my two main courses because I didn’t think the other classes were really going to do anything for me. But what I didn’t realize was that doing that would potentially make me have to repeat a course which I really did not enjoy in the first place. Most of my classes have been very good in my learning process however there is one that really did not do anything for me. That only class is the one I think I am going to fail because it did not grab my attention it really did not grasp me like my other classes. I think I should have put more time into that class though because of that I think my goals for this year will not be met for this semester. However  the thing that really was messing me up this semester was my time management that really did killed me. I plan next semester to do big project and all homework at least two or more days before they are due. I do not want the fact of me working kill everything I have worked so hard to do in my past years of schooling. I really hope that next semester is very different that I put a equal amount of time in all my subjects. This first semester was very rocking for me from me moving out of dorming to then stopping softball to getting a job there was many changes for me this year. I have not only learned academically but I have learned so much that is so essential in life. So I must say the first semester of college was VERY REAL!

Life after college!

My life after College would be ideal if right out of college I would have an amazing job and apartment in my name. This job would have to pay enough to pay the bills, rent, and have extra money to spend for myself. Everyone would love to be able to live stress free right out of college. However everyone knows that that is not the deal once out. A person out of college usually does not have a great job that they love nor do they live on there own. Many students live back with their parents once out of college. If life was ideal I would have a job working in the field I graduated from, no student loans, and living on my own. That right there is ideal to anyone I think coming straight out of college. Many people don't see that you will probably not get a job dealing in the field that you graduated in until a few years later. Another thing after college that I would love would be a car of my own being able to pay for that instead of my parents. Being able to travel where ever I want would be amazing as well! In this being said for me an ideal life after college would be being able to be independent.

Final hooray

This will be make it or break it time! In my final presentation I will be speaking about the pros and cons of commuting. There is a lot if things to touch on this subject. One of many is having a job against staying on campus and not getting your own money. Yes it can be hard to commute at times but for some people it is very beneficial. As for me I use to live in the dorm and that was not for me so I moved back home and started to commute. I rather commute any day then stay in those dorms. I guess forming wasn't for me which for some people it is not. People say that commuting is the worst thing ever but it is really not ! I know plenty of people that commute and not only do you have a car, most people have a job, but you are also saving a lot of money to go to school. There is such a huge difference in the tuition from people that live on campus versus the people that commute. So I will be touching on those three main points in my video come back and see the final project I promise you it will be worth it!

Bilingual speakers

Personally, learning more then just your basic language (English) is great. Schools should definitely keep this in mind. It's Important knowing more then just one language. The most common language is Spanish. I've noticed how mostly every work place has a bilingual person working for there company. That reason is because theres a high rate of Hispanics in America today. In the work force knowing another language defiantly gives you a edge over other candidates. How Spanish is not the only language that can be beneficial to you in a work place or in the running for a job, you also have French, Japanese , and Portuguese which are all big also. Due to all these I agree that yes universities and highs schools should have language courses. There are not that many cons against knowing another language on the contrary it has many pros. Many people don't really look into that they just say " oh this is hard and a waste of time" but no knowing another language will get you alot closer to where you want to be at the end of the day.

Open Mic Night?!

One thing that has had my interest for a very long time is poetry. I just love poetry I love to read it, write it, and I love to hear it. I love how words can just make such an impression on people, it can move them and it can also lead them in the right direction. Many people don’t see how much words really influence other people.  I love to hear people that have been through things say their poems and the ones that actually get really into it I think they are the best. I will love to be able to grow some and be able to stand in front of people and read my poetry. Maybe one day I will but that is definitely one of my goals to do one day in my life. I remember the first day of orientation here at Southern Connecticut State University there was one girl that read a poem I think that was the only thing I really remember from that day. It really moved me the way she said it and the way she manipulated the words so you can feel each and every one of them. I think they should really have more poetry classes. Or even like a open mic night here for people that want to express themselves with poetry or other things such as painting. I know I would love that I think many other students would appreciate something of those sorts here. Maybe it can happen once a month or maybe even once a week. This would be something else that the students at Southern Connecticut State University can enjoy together as community. Well that is one of my interest that I think links to our community at SCSU. Now you tell me what do you think about this idea of having open mic night!
