Getting Back On Track

Discover Our Arts & Sciences Programs Last term was tough, and sadly, I didn't pass a couple courses. Working on a new term to tackle the two I missed and am down a bit on motivation. I have had a couple mentor changes. My first mentor whom I really liked accepted a promotion within WGU, then I got a new mentor that I also liked that accepted a position in his hometown, and now I have another mentor that I also like very much. She answers e-mails and calls very promptly, is very understanding, and is doing a great job motivating me to accomplish my goals.

Doing online schooling is tough. Not just because of the academics but how easy it is to slack during the hot summer months. Procrastination will KILL you so it is extremely important to make a schedule and keep it. Do not let your friends, your significant other, TV shows, or anything else (with the exception of emergencies with children, etc.) keep you from studying.

I am still in good standing with the university of course, but I have fallen slightly. My friend, also enrolled in the university, has had his bad terms as well so I just get back on the horse and keep moving forward. I am determined to get back on track and will keep all of you posted on my progress.
