If I was to go back to college, the first thing that I will do is to take an honest look at why I left home to join college. This first step is highly significant because it always serves as a reminder of why I decided to live everything to go back to school. Most people often join college with one aim of achieving high grades to assist them in getting better employment. At the initial stages, students often give their best, but as time moves, they tend to forget what made them live their homes. As for me, the purpose of leaving home to join college will always serve as a reminder of what I should do in school.
The second move will be to examine whether I have the right plans to achieve my career goals. Failure to plan is the beginning of failing in anything that an individual does, and to avoid making the same past mistakes, I will come up with proper plans to guide me towards achieving my career goals. Generally, I will set achievable standards and work hard toward achieving the set goals.
The third step would be to look for a mentor within my field of study to assist me work towards achieving my career goal. A mentor will expose me to the outside world and help me to put theory learned in class into practice. As a student, I realized, I did not do a lot of fieldwork studies and put most of the things learned in class into practice, and that is the reason why if given a second chance, I will not hesitate to change my learning approach to putting a lot of things learned in class into practice.
The next move will be to dedicate most of the time concentrating on my studies and, during my free time, participate in co-curriculum activities such as playing football, hockey, and going out for skating. There is no better way of spending leisure time than doing what makes one happy. I will utilize my college life, doing what makes me happy and motivated. Sometimes, it is important to enjoy life, and there is no better way of enjoying life other than doing what makes one happy.
