LIFE AFTER COLLEGE

There is never a time when a day goes by and I don’t think  about my future after college. After I finish college I hope that all of my student loans will be paid off after I get my master’s degree. After I get my master’s I hope that I would have a set career, as a social worker, or a corrections officer. I can see myself owning a nice house and having a nice car as well. I always dreamed about owning my own property, I would plan on buying houses and fixing them up just so that I can rent them out to others.

I want my work  schedule to be as light as possible so that I can spend time with my family. I hope to marry someone that I meet in college with the same types as goals as me. I would like to have 3 children because I am big on family. I love to be around family on holidays and just to be with them and have a great time. I would like to live closely to family so that everyone will remain close together.

I always think about the life I want and I can just see myself living that life after I finish college. With this in mind this dream of my future life keeps me focused on furthering my education and becoming all that I can become. I realized that in order for me to stay focused I needed something to work hard for, such as my future. With this said I am working hard to reach my goal to become successful and live a happy life.

LEARNING COMMUNITY

This blog is all about my first year experience with a learning community. A learning community is a group of students that are in the same two classes. A learning community is the best way for first year students to meet new people. meeting new people at a big school can be hard for people that are just starting the school year. The learning community helps students break the ice and is an eye opener for new friends. In this group you spend approximately  2 ½  hours together a day and about 5 hours a week, not counting out of class time.

Another reason why a learning community is a great experience for a freshman is because in the group everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. Freshman that are in a learning community are learning the same thing at the same time such as time management, and also how to think critically( college leveled thinking).

The thing that I would miss about our learning community is all of the laughter in the class and different types of backgrounds of our class. Everyone comes from a different background but in our learning community we are all the same. I will also miss all of the helpful people that were always there when I need the help and answers.

My experience in a learning community was a great experience and I would do it again if I had the choice. This group was sort of like our own back bone, no matter what everyone was there to help. Groups like these people are able to meet new friends and mostly likely the people that they meet would become long-term friends. This was one of my greatest experiences that I won’t forget for a while. I will always miss the good times we had in this learning community and everyone in our group.
