Personal log #1

I wanted to do something a bit different for this blog and create somewhat of a string of my own experiences here at Cecil. I will begin with saying this is my first of many personal journals I would like to share with you all.
This spring semester I am taking 14 credits. They include Technical Writing, Topics in World Literature, Microeconomics, Weight Training, and Sociology. For the most part, I am really excited to take these classes, but I also have a bit of fear of them.

I know for a fact the English courses are going to be hard, but they are a part of my favorite subject, which makes them appear easy to me. However, Microeconomics is the class I am most afraid of taking. It’s not because of the instructor since I know for sure he is great. He is one of the best instructors my sister has ever had. My fear comes from not being great at this subject. I have never taken an economics course before, and my fear of not getting an A is becoming more real as classes get closer.

Being the person I am, it makes it hard for me when I am unsure I will do well. However, I am very hopeful because I know my instructor and how great of an educator he really is. For this I am grateful. I suppose the thing I really wanted to say to everyone is that it’s all right to be scared of a class you are unfamiliar with. Who knows? Maybe it will become your favorite class this semester.
I am looking forward to my classes even if they give me a bit of fear. It only makes getting a good grade more rewarding knowing it was a challenge.
