Blog Update 6/1/15


Reflection

This is the first academic week of 2015 and I have already managed to be punctual to all lessons so far. The Christmas break gave me a lot of rest and enabled me to be refreshed for the New Year. Over Christmas, I saw a lot of family and was able to catch up with them, I also worked as a Christmas temp for Marks and Spencer. The second half of this academic year will be my opportunity to improve on issues last year such as punctuality and meeting deadlines, New Year fresh start.

I have already been given an opportunity to improve on last term, as I have assignment deadlines coming up. I need to make sure to start early on these assignments and work hard so I can get the grades I want. I have had to play catch up with outstanding assignments however, because I was ill the last three days of the autumn term so I have been setback a bit. I am determined though to get these assignments finished so I am not setback for too long and so I can give myself more opportunities for gaining higher grades in my units.

Areas of development

I need to make sure to get to college on time and be punctual as much as possible this term. I also need to make sure to meet deadlines with assignments and start work on them early, to be more efficient with my time and improve the quality of my work. If I can develop on these two things I can overcome my challenges from last term.

What has gone well?

I have already managed to be on time for all lessons during the very first academic week of 2015 and started making progress on work as soon as it has been assigned. So far I am doing well to overcome my challenges of the autumn term. I need to make sure to keep these up so I can hopefully make being punctual and making progress on work as soon as it has been assigned second nature.

Long term goal

My long term goal is to finish college with at least Merit standards, but I will be pushing hard for distinctions. I am still deciding between getting a full time job and going to university, so my goal is currently to be successful in college.
