Blog 25 ( Refelctions of the way....)

Me being dyslexic, and ADHA, I found it rather hard for me to learn, and grasp certain things. Because of that I half assed everything just to get by. In high school it got worst, mainly because I had two kids, and working, and my grades suffered. I was happy when I got the D, because it was passing and that’s all I cared about. Ten years later I decided to finally attend college, but because of my grades in high school I had to start with remedial classes. I received my first B+ last year and I was surprised. Now this year that is not good enough. I’ve constantly have questioned my professor about the 87,, or 89 that I received for an assignment that I feel it should have been higher or making sure they didn‘t leave something out. I never have done that. I just always accepted the grades for what they were. Taking Louie’s class was an amazing experience. It was like an open forum class and I think (at least for me) it’s a lot easier to learn, and pick-up information. In Smith’s class it was a little more of a standard type class, in the way that we always had papers, and using the blogs was such a great idea. It was like you had to come up with your own homework, it all came from your opinion on whatever topic we had to write about, and it was a great feeling. In professor Reuben’s class I wanted to feel the same way, but I couldn’t. I enjoy movies but not in the way she would like a person to. I care about the acting, and the story. I do not, and will not analyze everything in a movie. I personally feel that, that would ruin the movie for me, and I am not that pretentious. Professor Reuben is a fair, and open-minded professor, and she knows her stuff, but her class was just not for me. So in her class I’m happy to get no lower than a C.

In all, this was a good academic year for me and because of that I am proud of myself.
