5th meeting journal

The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished

- I think the most challenging thing i have ever accomplished is that i finished a solo report in class. I am weak when it comes in presenting alone in front of many people even though they are my classmates. I'm very nervous in that kind of presentation. so I think that it is the most challenging thing i have ever accomplished in my life.

2nd meeting journal

1. How was your first week of stay at MCL?
- it's hard to change rooms. you will go up and down every course. and i kept on asking help from the guards to find the location of my rooms. my first week stay in mcl is also good because i met a lot of friends.
2. Describe your professors. What are traits do you find positive in each one?
- some of my professors are strict in our paper works some are not. they look professionals and they are good in entertaining the students. they can make their course lively so the students will not be bored.
3. Describe your blockmates/section. What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your section?
-i think the strength of our section is being cooperative of each one of us. i cant see any weak factor so far.
4. How do you find your courses? Which ones do you think are easy and which ones do you think are a little bit challenging? Why?
-i think ve011 , eng011 , hum011 , are is easy. and the rest are the hard courses. but for me it depends on my professors, if the professor is good in explaining hard topics to easy one. i can find that course easy, as well as i understand that topic.
5. Do you have any adjustment you feel you are going through or must go through? What are they? Cite examples in terms in your academics, emotions, and social environment.
-i must improve my study habits. i must spend more time in studying than in other thing that is not important.

1st meeting journal

1. Values education can work as a guide to lead me in a brighter future. I believe that values education has a big part in our lives specially students like us, because it teaches us to the right path and good study habits.

2. I think that it can help me by letting me know the things that i must change by the use of this good or bad experiences here at MCL. maybe i must try to be independent in order to face this college life. I am hoping that this experiences will help me achieve successful adjustment from a high school student to a college student.

3. "Transition from high school to college"

In college:
a. time is too fast. given time is not enough.
b. changing classrooms.
c. some teachers are strict, or should i call the "professor"
d. hard to pass the courses
e. my grades depends on me.
f. we are not treated as babies. not like in high school students are spoon feed.
e. we must be independent.
g. we should target high grades because second chances can also lead us to failure again.
