This is the first time I take four classes in a quarter. I have slept less, read more, and write more. But that is what I want. I want to challenge myself. I want to determine my limit. So many people don’t think I can do Chemical Engineering. I know it is tough. But I chose it and am working very hard at school for it, because I want to know if it is my limit. This is also the first quarter I have done much volunteer work such as teaching Vietnamese at Van Lang school, planting trees, helping new students at Spring orientation… because I want to know if I can handle that much work at the same time. I again want to determine my limit. I am working on a research project with my Chemistry instructor. Research project for college students is really a tough stuff because they have not been equipped with that much knowledge for it. But I did decide to do it to find if it is my limit.
College is a great place for us to determine our limit, so just push you to as far the limit as you can, and just do whatever you dream. Don’t waste your youth and think that it is too much for you because your limit could be farther than the one you think of.
Hello again, your blog gets very intresting every week. It's hard to hear when people are frequently telling you " you won't make it" . I have people telling me this all the time even family members. I know its hurtful but you should brush them off and work harder. You can prove it to them that you can be whatever you want. These people are the ones that wants to drag you down with them. Are you doing any volunteer work for Chemical Engineering? Besides the Research Project?
ReplyDeleteI am doing some volunteer work but it is not related to Chemical Engineering. I am looking for someone to go shadow, but it is really hard because I don't have many connections.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you are going through. Last quarter I took four classes and at the end,and made the Dean's List, but at the end of the quarter, I was so exhausted. I tried to take four classes again this quarter, but I ran out of the energy needed to maintain that work load. I do have to gear up for the Summer, Fall, and Winter quarters because I will be taking three classes, four classes, and four classes respectively. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off in the end!
