Half term break
Last week was my first half term break
since the beginning of college in September. It didn't feel much like a holiday
compared to the holidays in secondary school because in secondary when we went
on holiday you wouldn't have school work to complete. It would be just about
staying at home doing nothing but in college in the holidays I had to complete
two demanding assignments. I struggled to complete the assignments in the
holiday because there were too many distractions such as the television, social
network site and video games. All these are not normally distractions during
the term because I am in a different mind-set so I don't really pay attention
to them.
Another reason why I struggled to complete
the assignments was because it was difficult to ask for help, it is not like
during the term when if I am struggling with something I can just go and ask my
teacher for help.
The best part of my holiday was going back
to training with my football team because I got to see to see some of my mates that
I haven't seen since summer. I went to three training sessions in the holiday
and I found it quite intense because I was a bit rusty. I was surprised that I
was allowed to play in the cup match on Saturday and I didn't let the team down
in the match because I scored the only two goals of the match which got us
through to the quarter-finals. It is just a shame that I would not be able to
play in the rest of tournament.
Recent
challenges
The negative part of taking a break from
school is that I always find it hard to get back into the routine of waking up
early and running to the train station. It is difficult to get back into the
routine because in the holidays I went to bed and woke up at different times.
Due to this it made it hard when I had to wake up early to make sure I am on
time for college to maintain my perfect attendance. The attendance is really
important for me due to the fact that I am aiming for 100% attendance as it is
important when applying for universities as it will show them that I am serious
about my education.
Targets
of this term
This term I am aiming to do more of the
same and also better. Last term I was able to maintain perfect attendance and
punctuality. This was something I was very determined about from the start of
the year. I was also able to hand in and make sure that I passed all my
assignments that I have done so far. Which is a great achievement because it
means that I am on the right track to getting my target grade D* D* D which is
going to be my passport to getting an entry to Kings College London and study
Computer science and Business Management.
