Reflection #5
Being in the middle of the semester I feel that my momentum is kind of going up not down because in the beginning it was down, but I don’t feel that I’m there yet. I’ve missed second semester so my momentum has been just very lazy not willing to work hard. A few weeks has passed now and feel that my momentum is going up but don’t feel that I’m there yet. I need to bolster up a lot more because I am working hard by studying and staying at school and doing work but I’m doing work and studying in the last minute, also I’m sleeping pretty late need to change that as well because I’m use to sleeping late and because of that I’m sleepy the rest of the day and that’s what gets me not to do anything. The way I need to bolster up is by changing my sleep time, try to go to sleep earlier that what I’m use to. By doing that I think ill be able to do all the work I need to do in class and study harder and not be doing my work that is giving to me in the last minute and stress out. What’s keeping me motivated for me to keep going and changing things for me to get better is the hard work my parents do for me to go to school and also my self because I think of the importance of school and how its part of how my future is going to be.

Long-term goal: get Masters
Mid-term: do all my requirements for me to transfer and be able to accomplish my long-term goal.
Short-term goal: Do my best in everything for me to accomplish my education and succeed in life.
Dear, Angela Henderson
How are you mam? I hope everything is going good in your life. I just wanted to tell you about how I am doing to accomplish my goals. Right now I’m succeeding on my mid-term goal and on my short term goal. I just got all the units that I need for me to able to transfer to the university of my dreams which is UCLA. I transferred with grades of A’s and B’s and I have upgraded my grades with the hard work I do. I have been doing everything I can do be accomplishing in my education with me doing all the extra credit the professors give. I’ve going to the writing and tutoring center for I can get help with work that I get when I don’t understand something. I did all my homework that I was assigned to and studied for all my exams and quizzes that I had. With all this hard work I do for my education I know it will be worth it for me to succeed in life. With me accomplishing this two goals it has brought me to my long term goal which is to get my masters and if I keep doing my best to finish my career I know I will accomplish this goal as well.
