Being a Better Student in 2016 by sarah - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

My New Year’s to be a better student is to start by studying more. I am a 34 year old return to college student. I wanted to finish what I started when I first enrolled in college after high school. It is so easy for life to get in the way and make us really work hard for our goals. With working full time, it can be challenging to find the time to study when there is so much else going on. It is about making the time and rearranging my schedule to fit studying into it.
Another thing that hinders my school work is asking questions when I don’t understand something. I am shy and speaking out in front of people is not something I like to do. It is hard to finish an assignment with you don’t fully understand the process. I have made it a goal to fully understand everything that is expected of me for school work. If I don’t understand something I will ask and keep asking until I completely understand it. This will only benefit me and my grades in the long run. Being a better student in general is a long term goal. These resolutions will help me meet my goal one step at a time.
