Previously last week in Biology class we had a test over cellular respirtation and photosynthesis. It was a lot of material to cover and very detailed. I felt that I had a good general background, but the results showed otherwise. My score showed up on the wrong end of the spectrum and I was very disappointed with myself. I knew college was going to be a challenging experience but I didn't know it was going to be a complete struggle. I sat down for a little while in my room after I got back from Biology that morning and sat back and thought of ways that I could get my goals back on track. As a solution, I set up to personal conferences. One with my advisor and the other with Dr. McClung himself. I expressed to both of them that health care is my future and my passion. I just needed to know how to make that possible.
Both of them gave me great study tips and different methods to absorb the information I was learning. I have already seen changes in my confidence on assignments and tests, and I also catch myself interacting more in class and understanding the concepts before they are even explained in lecture. I really feel that these new methods of learning and keeping touch with my teachers on a personal level will definitely help me excel throughout the remainder of my schooling at Wartburg.
