success and failures

College has brought upon a lot of success and failure. My first success was getting into college and getting started being the first step to beginning my career as a nurse. My dream was always to get into college so I can begin the nursing program as soon as possible. I heard Southern had a great nursing plan so that was always one of my choices to get into. School hasn't always been the easiest for me but knowing that this can give me a better life and get a degree motivates me to do my best. The semester is almost over which is my other success finishing strong. The first semester is always hard because you’re not used to all the work and your first getting used to everything and getting back

 to school. Especially from me getting out of high school, having all my classes in one building with people you saw everyday to being close with. In college you meet people from all over the world being more mature and making new friends. Making time for school and work was difficult at first but once I got my priorities straighten out it started to get easier and it made me feel good because I was able to balance everything out and be able to do both the things I need to do. I haven’t really had many failures which is good but when I first started college I wasn’t very organized so I missed a lot of my assignments for not looking in the syllabus. I was so used to having teachers tell me when everything was due not realizing that it was my responsibility to look for myself. I also didn’t study as much as I should have to get the best grades that I can. For next semester I am going to look over my notes everyday and study at least an hour each day to get high grades. This semester thought me a lot of things like how to be responsible and most important to be mature.
