Short Essay
My academic goals are to improve my grades and increase my GPA. Last semester was a challenging semester for me. I currently have a career that utilizes much of my time and I am also a mom of 3. My major is Business Administration, and this is my last semester before I graduate. It was an exceptionally long journey. I enrolled at BMCC in 2018, but I dropped out due to financial difficulties and I later returned in 2023. I made the dean’s list in spring 2024 and I felt immensely proud to accomplish that. I told myself I wanted to keep that determination and yet my job recently has made it difficult for me to time manage my studies and stay focused. My GPA dropped as of last semester. Moving forward this semester, I look to do better because I am at the finish line, and I worked so hard to get this far. College has been an emotional roller coaster for me, and I refuse to be discouraged.
What excites me about attending college is that I am accomplishing a degree that will further my career and advance my knowledge. I plan to continue to a bachelor’s degree after graduating BMCC. It is important for me to be college educated. Being college educated opens rewarding opportunities. Currently, I am only taking Calculus 301 and your class Sociology 100 writing intensive course, I do have one more class that I need to retake, which I plan to take in summer. Once I have completed that I will earn my associates degree and move forward to my bachelor’s in finance. I look forward to your class and advancing my understanding of creative writing in sociology.
