Reflection Wk 1

This semester has gone by so fast, I can not believe that it is almost over. My motivation this semester has been like a rollercoaster because I have gone through a lot. There are days when I feel like comming to school and learning something new. Then there are those days where I feel like I am wasting my time and feel like I have a long way to go in school. Some of the things I do to stay motivated are think of everything that I have accomplished until this point, why would I want to give up now?. Since my mom was diagnosed with a sickness it has been real hard for me to stay focused. I think of what is going to happen to her and who is going to be there to take care of her. My mom is not as bad as other people who were diagnosed with her illness. I want to earn a degree from college, but with everything taking it's toll on me I feel pressured. I have learned a way to balance things while I am usually at school for a few hours my sister will take care of my mom and then we will trade off.  I also want to make my mom proud of me by staying in school because that is what she wants me to do. As long as I have faith in God I know that he will help me to remain strong through this difficult time for me.
