Last Week !!!

I am so excited because this is my last week of school. I feel a bitter sweet feeling. I can not believe that I have completed my first year of college. It seems like it was just yesterday when I first moved into Richard Bland.  I have had my good days and bad days here. I am really going to miss the friends I have made here. Sadly some will not be coming back next year. My focus this week is to study for my finals. Hopefully Saturday I will have  my belongings packed and ready to move out. 

Monday I took my psychology final. Today I turned in my english portfolio. Tomorrow I have my math final and Thursday I take my geography final. I received a 73 on my psychology final. I wish I could have done better but I can say that I tried my best. My english portfolio I put a lot of time and effort into it so hopefully I can receive an A for it. My math final should be a piece of cake, however, I am worried about my geography final. Geography has not always been my best subject so wish me luck! 

My Career Goals

Reflecting back on my childhood, I always had a vivid imagination. I never really knew what I wanted to become when I got older, but I always had very high aspirations for myself. As I have gotten older I see myself having a career that involved making a difference in society as a social worker. I always received great satisfaction from listening to people’s problems and helping to find solutions. I want to dedicate my life to ensuring that children are raised in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. I want to help children achieve their goals in order to become productive adults in society one day. 

The steps that I am taking to make this dream a reality is by attending The Richard Bland College of William & Mary. I plan to be here for two years to receive an associates degree of science. There after, I plan to transfer to either Old Dominion University or Christopher Newport for an additional two years to receive my bachelors degree in social work. I want to work in a big city where I know I can make a difference and change someones life.

My RBC Experience

My Richard Bland experience thus far has been better than I expected it to be. I have had many professors that love what they do and try their best to make sure that I learn the material that they teach me. I have met what I believe to be life long friends. My grades for my first semester were good but of course could have been better. My first semester I got an A, two B's, and two C's. 

Next year I look forward to it being my last year at Richard Bland so that I can move on to my next institution. I want to come next semester trying to improve my GPA. I want to leave Richard Bland with a 3.5. 

What I could do better as of next year is waking up on time and not missing class as well as doing my homework on time. If I need help with an assignments I am going to go to my professors because that is what they are here for, to help.

I want to leave Richard Bland knowing that I did my best and that I did not waste my parents money because we all know how important that is to everyone.
