One of the greatest accomplishments I have had so far was getting a 93 on my math test. I had always been awful in math, usually failing or getting low 70s, so this was a great confidence booster. Even though I did well in math, I struggled in history. This was surprising, as history has always been my strongest subject. On the first quiz, I got a 75. I was angry with myself, but it made me realize that I had to study more. I also learned to change my study technique, which will hopefully help on the next quiz. Something else that was surprising was my English class. It is astoundingly easy, and is extremely frustrating. We are learning things that I learned in sophomore year of high school, so the class seems like a waste of time. What is most surprising about that class is that I am the only freshman in it. I wish I had been placed into a higher English, but when I pick my schedule it will be easier.
When college started, I decided that I had to change my study techniques. In high school, I never studied. I would glance at my notes before the class started and that would be enough for me to get a good grade on the test. Now, however, I realize that I must actually take time to review notes and do practice problems in order to do well on a test or quiz. This is hard to adapt to, as I never set aside time to study before. I do believe that creating a time to study will be beneficial for my grades and my confidence with the class work and tests.
