hey everyone,
first of all i just wanted to say that i had so much fun getting to know you guys.
I gained some insights throughout the Summer Bridge Program that i know are going to stick with me and help me out throughout my college years. One of the things that insight me was that i was able to get familiar with CSUSM. At this point im familiar with the campus i know where everything is at so when it comes to starting school in 3 weeks all be able to find my class and being able to be on time. I also had the chance to met new people and staff make connection with people that could be a great help for me in the future. In this fives weeks of the program i have discovered that our campus can be big and some of us might be lost but we just got to keep in mind that theirs people out there waiting to help us the only thing is that we need to go to them. Communication and asking questions can help us alot in order to succeed at CSUSM.

Based on my college experiences so far my fears on obstacles, challenges of me staying in college are the amount of work load, my study habits. Study habits for me are my greates fears because im a person that can get distracted easily and that cant focus on one thing. Another challenge for me is being more organized not waiting to do my homework until the last minute. When taking the Strenghtquest my greatest strenghts were being responsible and organized this two strengths are going to become an important role to me. Being organized and Responsible are going to help me overcome those obstacles and challenges that might keep me from graduating. Another thing that can help me overcome this challenges are to make connections with my proffessors walking in into there offie hours just so they can see your are intrested in how your doing on the class. My EOP Advisors can also be a great help for me so i can stay on track and defeat all those bad things such as dropping out of school.
