One thing that I can say I have done successfully this year is worked on my study habits. Prior to college and at the beginning of the semester I did most of my work in my room and in college I have done most of it in my dorm. However, this was proving to not work very well, so I set out to change my study habits and force myself to go to the library and study there until I am done. While there are many different academic difficulties that I have faced, honestly my study habits are what need to be rebuilt from the bottom …show more content…
As the title suggests, personal development involves development relating to someone’s personal experience, opinions, and thoughts and how they deal with each accordingly. Alongside development, keeping up with personal hygiene and stress management is equally important. A world class student would believe that personal development is just as important as everything else.

Personal development is defined as, “the conscious pursuit of personal growth by expanding self-awareness and knowledge and improving personal skills”. I believe of the Seven Core Components of a Spiritan School, personal development encompasses best what it truly means to be Catholic. The very core idea of being Catholic is always becoming better each and every day, and doing everything it takes in order to do so.

Success for college and beyond is established through the vital skills of motivation, responsibility, and strength. To master all three items is to find success.

I will be attending Augusta University studying in the major of Computer Science. The technological world has always been a passion of mine, to the point that I want to in the future work in the field that I am so passionate about. The steps that I have already taken to achieve my future educational goals are applying to several colleges (which I have been accepted to all three), submitting several scholarships, and have met with several people that can help direct me in which path I need to take.

The very first and most basic thing I learned this semester, was how to examine my study skills. Using the given self-evaluations I was able to gain a more complete understanding of my strengths and weaknesses as a student. I found that I excel at time management. I am not one to procrastinate and I am a very effective planner. Another personal area of strength in regard to study skills is my ability take notes. I have a very effective foundation in note-taking and this has continued into my undergraduate career. Although I am confident in my abilities as a student and do feel that I have a solid set of study skills, there is always room for improvement. I’ve learned this semesters that I could improve my skills in a variety of ways. The first, and easy step for a better studying experience would be to create a defined study space. I would be able to study in a more sophisticated manner if I spent my time at a clean desk with adequate lighting rather than in bed or on the floor. As a more complicated improvement, I could use some practice and/or skill training on learning how to differentiate what is crucial ...

However, I do plan to take my plan further and not just stop with that objective. I would like to utilize my degree in ways that I could help myself while helping others. It’s not only important to start with having high marks in your classes, but to also end with exceptional grades as well. During my time in high school, I was pushed not only by teachers, family, or friends to perform to my best ability and to work to the fullest. I was motivated by myself and worked to be as efficient as possible when faced with a seemingly difficult task.

If I never learned how to produce such goals for myself, I would not be as motivated to push myself harder and harder as I am now. However, motivation is definitely a common difficulty when you are charged with executing certain tasks you
