College life- Transferring into a career
There are traits that I have acquired throughout college that I hope to carry on to my career upon graduation. Three of those traits are resiliency, honesty, and balance.
There have been many obstacles on my way to be where I am in my education journey. At one point, I was working full time. There was no time to go to college. And I couldn't stop working since I would be left without a way to pay for a babysitter. I wanted my education so bad, that I enrolled at a college closer to my work so I could go to one lecture during my lunch break. So, I did. I went for lecture two times a week during my lunch break and on monday nights to lab. It was only one class but it propelled me to pursue leaving my job and enrolling full time.
Honesty is something I have valued all thru my life. But in college, I have seen the rewards of being honest with others the most. Professors are more willing to work with a student if they are honest and forthcoming. In my future career, I hope to be honest with my superiors whenever I need help.
Balance has been a constant struggle with college life and family. I feel as if I finally have reached a point where I can freely say no to other commitments to be able to do homework. Being able to say no to certain social engagements has allowed me time to finish my homework comfortably so I can attend family events as they come up.
I look forward to carrying on to my future career much more than just book smarts. Traits that will help me succeed in life are also learned in college.
