My first week as a college student

Busy. It's what i have been, but then again the task of learning time management is painful but in the end wort it. Right? My first week and i've already managed to miss both of my study groups and one college 101 class. I have always had difficulty managing and handling responsibility but this first week has taught me a little more about caring for my work and classes. "In the end it's all of to you." A very caring and understanding mentor said to me. She told me that i could be told by everyone to be more responsible but in the end it's all up to me.

The class that I am currently taking is English Autobiographical Reading and Writing. We were assigned a book to read written by Barrack Obama. the title of the book is Dreams of my Father. The work load for this class is not too heavy but if you fall behind its very difficult to get caught up. Everyday we are assigned one chapter to read a night and we are to have a 4 page autobigraphical peice in every monday.
I have enjoyed my time in summer scholars so far i enjoy the people in the program and i like to see the different characteristics and diversity in the group.
My teacher Helen Fountain is a wonderful teacher, she motivates me and sparks my writing interest by teaching us that with any writing piece breaking it down and learning writing styles is the best way to improve writing.
Overall this first week has been eye opening and i look forward to what is to come for me in summer scholars 09.
