Reflection

I have started week 25 of the academic year. I have recently come back to college from half term, it was a relaxing week and I am ready to get focused to make a final push for a grade that I will be personally satisfied with. The week has started off well as I have managed to get to college ten minutes before my first lesson of the day every day so far. I have also managed to hand in outstanding work as well as get started on assignments that aren’t due for a couple of weeks. I have managed to reach a turning point since coming back from half term and I am ready to stay improved by being punctual with getting to college on time, as well as starting coursework as soon as it is assigned to use my time more efficiently.

Areas of development

I have allowed work to pile up as a lot of it is due in a couple of weeks which means I will need to plan my time well and put the improvements I have made to myself since half term to the test. I have also procrastinated with assignments I started on a while ago and they are still yet to be completed, so I will need to start and finish work next time so I don’t make myself fall short for time. Finally I have spent a more than necessary amount of time on assignments worth lower grades than assignments worth higher grades so I need to make sure to concentrate more on the higher grades or at least spend more time on them.

What has gone well?

Although I have procrastinated with coursework I have still made progress on that work. I have also managed to improve my punctuality as well as time keeping when it comes to starting and finishing work. I also feel that although I have spent a more than necessary amount of time on assignments worth lower grades, I have spent enough time making sure I secure these grades.

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.
