School School School....

How I would describe this semester is like a roller coaster. It starts fast and I work hard to keep up with everything. after a while there are loops turns and falls. All this still applies to school. There is a lot more going on  and with new tasks being added it is a lot more stressful now. Although online work is quite simple it is difficult to remember to keep up with it. The deadlines creep up on me and before I know it a deadline has passed.
What I like about getting my work done is the satisfaction that it comes with. It might be hard to get everything done right now but it makes me happy when I see that even with everything I have to get done I can still do most of my work for my classes.  The ultimate pay off from all this work is knowing it’ll lead to a better life later. After getting home from a long day of work I’m always tired but my motivation is knowing that if I get all my work done later I won’t have to work so hard for such little pay.
This leads me to what drives me, which is architecture. I really want to accomplish my goal of designing roller coasters and  I know if I keep on working hard I can get to where I want to be. Most people say that going to college and investing your time and money in an education pays off in the long run and I am a strong believer in that. Another thing that motivates me is my family. I want to make them proud and show them that it is possible to come out successful against all odds. Finally although it is stressful and takes time I think it is worth it to stick with school and I try my hardest to stay on track.
