Situtation: My first semester at Tech really didn't go as planned, recieving very poor grades on exams while still doing well on homework and quizzes. I really was depresed by this, which ended up in even greater failure. I reallu hope to turn this around this semester.

Make the situation be: I'm really hoping on getting at least a 2.5 GPA, just to get of prohibation and have a fresh start.

Choices of action: Always take notes in class and pay attention, check e-mail regularly, do homework early, study for exams, and get extra help when needed.

Outcomes of each choice: Taking notes-this will not only help me to pay attention, but to also learn in class, besides having to learn it on my own by not paying attention. Check e-mail-I didn't do this much last semester, and ended up missing some very important things. Checking it at least twice a day will prevent this. Do Homework Early-I was always doing homework last minute last semester, which ended up in a lot of them not being done in time, this semester I will motivate myself to do it earlier and get it done. Study for exams-which I did almost 0 of last semester. This will grealty affect my grades on exams, and even though I have a hard time rememberring things, it will help in the long run. Getting extra help-in chem last semester, I know I needed extra help, but just didn't go because I though I was better than that. This semester I've already gone twice and it's already helped.

Commiting to what choices: I will try my best to commit to every choice I listed.

What I learned: I truly have already learned from some of my mistakes, but still am learning from others. I still feel I have much room for improvement, and that I am trying to close that gap. I learn something new at college everyday, whether it be actual information about something, or something that will help me to be a better person/student. I really hope to become the absoloute best that I can be and achieve my dreams.
