Reflection:

Wow time fly’s we are in the middle of the semester now, and there is so much going on; like midterms, lots of homework and other things we want to get caught up. My motivations for school right now are strong I can say; although, it’s just so much things I need to get done and some I haven’t even started on them. But, what’s keeping my motivations strong right now it probably is that I am talking to one of my fashion design professors about transferring so it’s getting me excited because each day am getting closer of getting where I want to be. I have been contemplating on how I can complete all my homework on time regarding that I have 14 units this semester in Fullerton College. I thrived when I was younger so I hope I can continue that way. I have a presentation due soon and I have to do a power point but I am having difficulties starting it and putting it together; it’s a semester project so it’s very important so I have to get it done I’m not going to give up. I have to keep my self-motivated because I need to defer school first before anything else. Better have all the struggles now than later; everything will pay off for good. In all honesty, if I already got to the middle of the semester there is no way I can go back now. Therefore, the only way to get through this is by completing the courses.

Long-term goal: be a fashion designer
Mid-term goal: get a Masters degree
Short-term goal: understand all my classes, learn everything I need to know.

October 15, 2018

Dear friend,
I have so much to tell you, a lot has happened since the last time I seen you.I been a very successful person, I am a fashion designer, I have my own store, own private label, I travel all over the world to put fashion shows with my designs. All though, I accomplished my goals it wasn't easy at all. I went through so many ups and downs and difficulties and experiences that I knew it was not going to be easy to get where I wanted to get but I didn't give up because I’m not a failure. My first goal I wanted to complete was to understand all my classes and learn everything I need to know in order to succeed my goal. Therefore, I had steps to work on. I corroborated in my classes by not missing any class, doing all my homework, asking the teachers for help if I didn't understand something and listening very carefully everything she would teach in class. If I still didn't past my classes I would retake them again until I’d past them. My second goal was to get up to a master’s degree. I always imagined myself as an affluent person so I wanted to get there; that’s why I was heading for my master’s. I went to Fullerton College got my certificate for fashion design than I got my AA degree there. Next, from there I transferred to Long Beach University for my master’s. It was difficult for me to get to school because I didn't have a car; I would get rides or on the bus. Also it was challenging being in many classes and being in school for so long because years were passing and I still didn't have a job. My third goal of course was to get a job as a fashion designer because I am an aficionado for fashion in apparel. Finally, I did I accomplished and succeeded in my goal; it was all worth it. I am the happiest women ever!    always your friend Janet Esquivias.

Reflection post:

     The past week I had plans on doing my essay for my English class; and turning it in the following week. I did follow my plans. Although, I was very nervous because I had so many homework to do for my other classes too, so I might have not done so well. But I did use reading strategies and study skills because I needed to read two articles and compare both and I needed to give my position to one of them. As I was reading the articles I was annotating and looking up words I didn't know what they meant. I was writing on the book little summaries, notes and switching words to easier word I could understand. I also reread them to get a better idea about what the author is trying to say. I was successful on completing my plans. Hopefully I was also successful on my essay as well. I will look forward to the coming week because I do have another essay to begin. I will make some adjustments from last week to this week. I will make corrections on my essays for a better grade. Fix all mistakes so when I start another essay I can do better and learn more. Have better grammar and a good thesis statement because I always had trouble with my thesis. Therefore, this way I will be able to write more and have more information. I am going to practice my study skills even more; this will not only help me with my English class but also with my reading class.
