In order to be successful in nursing school, I have to make good grades from day one in college. So I chose to take a few college courses to make my freshman year at Alabama a little easier. I never thought that being accepted and registering at GPC would be almost as challenging as the courses themselves! Having just graduated from high school, I was not too confident that I was ready to dive back into the hard work again, but was excited to get a jump on college. I enrolled in two classes: College Algebra and English 1101. With each class meeting twice a week for nearly 3 hours, I had NO idea what to expect. What a relief to be in a small class environment with two professors who paid a great deal of attention to each student. After the first few weeks, I got into a routine. In English we consistently submit two blogs a week. This was a perfect way to work on my writing skills using a contemporary format. In math, as expected, I got to revisit some equations I had befriended in high school. Fortunately, I have found this area of math to be pretty straightforward. As the semester winds down, I have become more confident in my writing ability and have strengthened my math foundation. In the end, I will be the first to say that I have really enjoyed my first exposure to college level courses and look forward to more.
