This semester has had its moments of failure. Both literally and figuratively. I took longer than most to finish my Associate’s degree, but I finished and got accepted into the UF Business program.
I enrolled in 2 classes, this one and QMB(Business Statistics). I wish I could say that I had a great class experience but there were some serious learning curves in the transition from Community College to UF. Long story short, I had to drop the QMB class due to a couple of poor test scores. This ENT class also had some frustrations and I had thought I was too far gone to continue due to a few figurative failures in jumping through the hoops necessary to turn in assignments. I quickly thought that I had failed out of my first semester at UF. I thought about withdrawing for about 2 days.
The other part of this equation is that I work full time at a very demanding and time-consuming job and started a multi-year project, and also recently got engaged. I cannot pinpoint a busier time in my life, but I took it head-on. I don’t think that I bit off more than I can chew, but I do believe that the adjustments necessary to succeed in this next phase of life was a major learning curve.
I obviously did not drop the ENT class, and have made the necessary adjustments in other aspects of my life to be successful. I will be re-taking the QMB class in the fall and know exactly the expectations I need to put on myself. There was a time that I would not care about dropping a class, but I very much do now.
