University Days

I've had quite a few challenging courses throughout college. This semester is my last semester before graduating so this assignment was a fun reflection on my last four years of college. My very first semester I took sociology at Washburn. At the time I was also taking psychology and anthropology. Looking back on this, I don't think it was the best of ideas to take these three courses in the same semester. Sociology was honestly one of the hardest classes for me to actually get interested in. The material seemed quite boring and it was very difficult for me to pay attention in the class. I did the homework and read the required readings, but nothing could make me actually enjoy the course. I don't like to say that I don't like a course because of the teacher, but in this case, the teacher definitely didn't make the course any more enjoyable. About 5 weeks into the course I had had enough. I wasn't getting anywhere in the course and couldn't grasp the material the way I felt I should be. I decided to go ahead and drop the course, and then took it online the following semester. For me, having a class withdrawal on my transcript seemed better than having a failing grade. This semester was also a struggle because I was pregnant and was having complications with the pregnancy. When I re-took the course, the teacher explained the material in a way to be understood and made the course very enjoyable. I've had some challenging courses over the last few years, especially in nursing school, but I'm proud of myself and proud of my accomplishment of getting to graduate in December.
