This semester had many ups and downs throughout. The good thing about this semester is that I am done with the biology components of the major. I let myself get to worried about those classes that I pushed away the rest of my classes. I got satisfied with doing the bare minimum which showed in my final grades in class. I know what I need to do in order to fix my motivation to be successful in each of my classes from now on. I felt with my schedule this year that I couldn’t be successful at all. I kinda gave up during the middle of the semester to be honest. Going from class all day straight to AT until 8 or 10 at night just drained the life out of me. When I would get back I wouldn’t want anything to do with homework because I just wanted to go to bed instead. I now see that I have to take advantage of the time off from AT hours and class to get my work done. If I just do the little things I know that I will be more successful than I ever have been. On the bright side, with everything that I was going through I still managed to be successful. In the clinic, Melissa said I was a rock star and that really means a lot to me. Majority of my motivation comes from how well I do in the clinic. I enjoy the clinical experience more than anything I do in school. I feel the clinic is where I evaluate myself the most. I know that this time next year I will have a job (hopefully as an AT), so I treat the clinic as if I am an employee and not a student. There are obviously differences between the two, but to me it is a way to see what exactly I am going to do later. I know my strengths and weaknesses now better than ever and plan on working on them. As a student, I am going to take class the same way as I do with clinical experience. I have sacrificed a lot of things to better myself so there is no excuses anymore for my mistakes. Learning from these and actually trying to better myself will be the most challenging part for the next semester.
