In my one semester at Young Harris I feel that I have grown tremendously both as a student and as a person. Since I have been here I feel I have stepped up my academics to levels previously unthought of by either myself or my family. I have done a fair job of maintaining this as well.
Since I have been here this short time I feel that I have been extremely blessed to find some of the best friends I believe I will ever have. No longer do I have any worries or shyness walking around this campus. This place has truly become my new home.
Having said that I certainly have had my fair share of struggles. Probably the dumbest but the hardest habit for me to break is forgetting to capitalize my I’s when I am typing on my laptop. I switched to Mac this semester for reliability and ease of use reasons and my word processor unlike my blackberry does not capitalize I’s. This costed me countless points on my assignments and is unfortunately just one of the kinks we as students must work out.
The second concept that was a great struggle for me and continues to be is my citing of sources. All the way coming up through high school writing a research paper simply consisted of beginning to write on whatever topic I desired and if I had any questions simply Google any answers I did not already know. As we all have learned this is no longer the case.
My third issue was not super difficult to correct but to this day does require some editing work on my part. That being connectives.When I speak I have the tendency to ramble just a little bit. My papers at the beginning did it on occasion, I feel I have corrected this.
All in all I could not have possibly hoped for a better class or first semester experience here at Young Harris college. I truly have found a new love for this place and the people that reside here.
