Motivation
At the moment my motivation for school is much gone. I am just going day by day seeing how things go by. I started out with six different classes, and now I only have two classes out of all I started with. The reason for this is because I have chosen the wrong classes in which I need to succeed in. By following other people's decisions I strayed away from my own set of ambitions and because of that I made some wrong decisions which have affected my course and goals I had in two years. The only way I find able to get my motivation back and set of ambitions is by going to summer school at the moment and making up the classes in which I have failed in. By doing this I would be able to set everything back in track and start fresh once the fall semester has started again. Another thing would be talking to a teacher or even a counselor in which he would help me make the right decisions in which classes I should get and which ones I shouldn't bother which just yet. I really need to set everything back in track because I am playing to transfer in a year or two tops. And I won't be able to do that if I keep slacking off and not doing anything about that, so my plan starts off going to summer school then just going with the flow and start doing better and getting all my motivation back at the moment.
