Personal Narrative: My Academic Year At Columbia Basin College

487 Words2 Pages

One reason that I have not achieved the minimum satisfactory progress requirements is because in the last quarter that I attended Columbia Basin College (CBC) I spent most of my time on a senior project and presentation that I had to complete in order for me to graduate from Columbia High School. Another reason was because my first quarter of college I wasn 't prepared for the rigors of college. The workload wasn 't something I was able to handle and the result of this was that I didn 't get a good grade in either of the classes that I attended. During winter quarter I learned from my mistakes and was able to get at least a 2.0 in both of the classes that I took. For my senior project I had to complete a task for a minimum of 30 hours and …show more content…

The result of this was my not performing well in the spring quarter of the 2012-2013 academic year at CBC. Success in college is something that I know I can achieve because in the winter quarter of that academic year I passed the two classes I attended with at least a 2.0. The reason for this being that my high school load was lighter so I was able to spend the necessary time on my college work to get those passing grades. It is for this reason that I believe if I hadn 't had to spend as much time on my senior project and speech presentation I would have had more time to focus on my college classes and I would have passed them. The reason I bring this point up is because through this experience I have learned the importance of time management in college and also that if I am able to attend college again I would be able to focus on one academic arena instead of trying to juggle two different course loads. The winter quarter I attended at CBC proved that I was able to handle college when able to focus enough time on it and that I had learned from my fall quarter short-comings. It is with this explanation of the circumstances that resulted in my academic record being below the minumum requirements that I ask you to lift the suspension on my

Although this awakening might be harsh, it would force me to develop proper habits, preparing me for college two years in advance. Although the preparation that the Ohio State Academy would grant me is a strong reason to attend, the primary reason for my application is its intrinsic value. Although my high school offers a solid catalog of AP or CCP courses, the classes offered do not allow me to further my education in my fields of interest.

  • Pursuing A Seventh Degree: Personal Statement

    My academic transcript shortcomings, such as my B-average in science related classes, are related to dividing my focus between work and school in order to support my family and myself. I’m the oldest of seven children in a one income household making below the federal poverty line and, because of this, I work to pay for all my schooling and living expenses as well to help pay my parents’ rent and necessities at home. My focus was especially spread thin during my sophomore year, when my parents experienced significant financial complications, leading me to work more and focus less on my schoolwork. While this has made an impact on my GPA and academic record, I believe it’s also made me a stronger, more motivated person, hence why I improved in my junior year and was able to complete a study abroad successfully. I am able to organize and juggle a busy schedule as well as provide for myself and my family.
