Difficulties in thriving in college

                Being able to keep up with the college life is a huge challenge for some people including myself. There are many obstacles that jeopardize my career in college, however those are controllable, unless they are out of your control and you find yourself with the need to drop from college, anything can be overcome you just have to set a strong mind to it.  “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” ― Winston Churchill.  In other words, you decide if you want to be successful in life depending on your view of life and the obstacles you create on yourself. This quote makes a lot of sense for many people that are struggling to keep attending college for a better education and consequently a better life in general. Only the strong survive the difficult journey of college, which, only the person that has its mind clear on what they want in life and the things they need to do in order to achieve it, are successful and rarely fail to accomplish all the goals they set their minds to it.  The obstacles i faced in my college career are things like transportation, and money. Transportation is an obstacle because i must wake up early in order to catch the bus and not be late to any of my classes. Although transportation is, an obstacle for me is something that i can overcome, by not procrastinating with my priorities. the second obstacle i face is money , unfortunately  my income is  very low and adding and extra cost to pay for college is something that can’t be easily overcome , however with determination everything is possible.  Saving is something important i learned in order to control this form making me drop Form College. being able to save money for the future were i might need the money for a book or a class i need to pay in college is very critical to keep my finances good enough to keep attending college.  Finally, by not procrastinating in your priorities in life you are able to overcome many obstacles in life.

 
                  “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will” -Vince Lombardi . This quote is very true, because only the people who are willing to put the effort to complete their goals are successful. Anyone can be successful if they try, however many people do not fight for what they want and end up being unhappy in life. Going to college is something that I like, and I am willing to do anything in my hand to be successful in college and get the education I want. It is also a good idea to judge the actions the one has taken in order to achieve the goals that you have made, in my case is getting a college degree. I have made many sacrifices in life in order to be the first in my family to have a college degree. Getting the opportunity to be successful in college will not only make me feel proud, but also my family will be proud of the things I will succeed in.

  1. I agree with you totally, I used to take the bus and bart everywhere and it's hard being on public transportation time. That's great you don't let that stop you from succeeding. Money is always a issue in everyones life, well those whom struggle with limited amounts. I understand I'm on a budget myself. Just take advantage of all the things you can use to succeed thats they only way to show others and yourself you can do it all, and all by yourself.
