My First Week as a College Student

my first week as a college student surely has been a interesting one. I'm not going to lie and say that it was all fun, but I'd have to say that all the good out-weighed the bad. My professor is Dr. Robinson-Moore and I'm enrolled in Public Speaking. Dr. Robinson-Moore has to be one of the coolest teachers I've had yet. I feel as though she a teacher I can relate to; she's strong and inspiring. My study group is pretty cool and my facilitator Ashley is the coolest! I'm doing my Service Learning at The Boys and Girls Club north campus and I can tell that there's a lot of fun up ahead for me. I'm really excited about staying on campus. I definitely think that my suite is the best suite!
In this first week I would have to say that my professor and my facilitator are most encouraging because they motivate me without even knowing it. I feel like I don't want to disappoint them; they expect so much from me and I don't want to let them down and that motivates me to work harder. The most challenging thing is the class work because there is so much it's kind of overwhelming. One thing I learned about myself is that I talk really, really fast. I always thought people were exaggerating but so many people have said it in the past week that I have no choice but to believe it.
My class experience as a whole has had a positive effect on me. I'm definitely more organized and I've been hit with the reality of college being so close. I'm really glad that I'm in this program because now I'm taking my future more seriously, I'm enjoying myself and I'm making lifetime friends and memories.
