As the semester progress I find
myself getting used to the work load and becoming more comfortable and
confident with the work that I do, but if there is one aspect of college that I
am failing at it would be getting involved!! I know every week we have the involvement
blogs, but being a commuter student it is hard enough to just try and find time
to get those done, let alone do anything else.
In high school there is wasn't anyone
that I wouldn't talk to, and was eager to join clubs and do volunteer work, but
when I came to Southern, somehow that all changed and I can tell that it is
effecting me in a way that I’m not too fond of. I was always around my friends
having a good time, and there are people here who I just met that I talk to and
would consider my friends, but I don’t have that same feeling that I did with
my friends from high school, and I think that is because I am not involved and
taking advantage of all of the social opportunities that Southern offers; but
from now on that is going to change and I’m not going to be one of those
students who just comes to class and then goes home.
I believe that the only way someone
can change something that they don’t like, is identify the problem and be
willing to work on it. There are so many clubs that Southern offers, there is
something for everyone, and it is a great way to meet people who you know will
have at least one thing in common with you, and that can be the foundation of a
new friendship. I am setting a goal for myself to help me become more actively involved,
by the end of this week I plan on trying to join at least one club that sounds interesting
to me.
I think what the most important
thing to understand about failure is that someone else is going through the same
thing can be an important tool in helping you overcome it, and learn from your
failures. Also a person cannot expect to grow from the failures if they don’t acknowledge
them and put effort into fixing what they did wrong.
