December!

Hello Concord family,

I hope everyone had a good holiday. I spent time with my family during Christmas and it was so much fun! Our family don’t celebrate or come together as much, but this year we were able to do secret Santa and exchange gifts.

My first semester ended on a good note and I can say I’m proud of myself. It was tough finishing up until the end because with my in person classes, switched to online it was hard to adjust and learning became difficult to enjoy. Things to reflect on this semester is to prioritize my time more and less procrastination. There was one class I totally forgot I had and didn’t realize until I finished my other courses. It was quite disappointing, but something for me to know next time on doing a better job setting reminders for myself. Things I thought I did well this semester was advocating for myself. It’s something I always struggle with, and being able to do a lot of that this semester was an accomplishment. With the first semester over, I have already registered for new courses and was also able to switch my major. I’m hoping to gain new learning experiences and hopefully to retake courses that I weren’t able to pass over the summer.

With the new year coming up I hope to get my permit and be able to drive by the time its Summer. 2020 has been a rough year for everyone and I’m glad to make it this far. The new year is less than a day away. I wish everyone safe and Happy new year! Take care and I will update next time!
