How I've grown and what I've learned

When I got to college, all of the experience I had was from high school.  While in high school, I didn't really have any responsibilities, I had somebody there to help guide me the whole way.  Here, the Hixson program somewhat stepped into that role, but not near as much as what I had before. I wasn't used to doing a lot of homework or studying, but I quickly learned that I needed to change that right away.  I didn't really have any good studying habits because I just didn't have to do it.  The classes in high school were easy enough that if I did the homework I could easily get an A in the class.  Here it is completely different, from the classroom environment to the way I study and do my homework.

Since arriving at college, I have had way more homework and studying to do compared to high school.  I have learned how to study better and how to get homework done, regrettably I didn't put enough time into this class and I am now going back and doing these blogs I blew off before.  That has helped me grow as a student.  I have also had to learn to manage my time better because I have more homework and studying to do.  I feel attending a major university really helped in my maturing process.  Overall,  I have grown as a person and a student because of college, which I feel will only continue.
