In-Class Journal Entry #1         8/27/14

The way I plan to ‘take charge’ of my transition into college is by being ‘proactive’. I feel that I am going to have to act this way because I will be the only person at my new school that is actually looking out for me. I am the only one willing myself to do better. While back at home my parents and teachers were steadily coaching me to what they thought was acceptable. But now it’s souly up to me, now I choose what and how I want to be, and be portrayed. Now I choose what type of grades I want (even though it may come back to haunt me), going off to college is a huge step in a young students life and that is why I want to make the best of it, so I shall.
