So far I am very pleased with my midterm grades. I only got 4 of my grades back I am still waiting to hear from my Microbiology teacher what that grade is. Hopefully I will find out today. In all my other classes I have an A- or better.
I know that my Microbiology grade will not be as good as the others. I try very hard in that class but it is my most challenging class. Not only do we have lecture classes we also have a lab. Its double the work, double the exams, double the challenge. I do like what I am learning though. So I am very eager to get this grade back.
In high school I got good grades but never this good. I think the big difference was my mindset when I started college. I entered with the mindset of "If I do not get good enough grades I will not get into the Nursing Program." This is very true. The GPA that I need to get into the Nursing Program at southern is a 3.5 but with how competitive it is I actually need a 3.8. I know I can reach this goal if I set my mind to it.
I think the other reason that I am doing so well is how I manage my time. I know that sometimes I am going to have to stay home and get homework done instead of going out. I want to put my best effort into my work and get the best grade possible. I think that if more people did this they would also get good grades. I also write out to-do lists daily and try to stick with them as much as I can. It shows me what needs to be done that day and what should be done first.
So I do think that my grades reflect my time and effort put in. I try very hard and work for my grades, none of them were just given to me. I think that with the same amount of time and effort in each of my classes my final grades will stay as all A's.
