Expectations of Myself here, at Stockton College

Here at Stockton, I have high expectations of myself to succeed. Despite the challenges I foresee in some classes, I am determined not to become discouraged. I know that school will require what may seem like endless hours of studying, reading, and concentration, but I will try to remain optimistic, knowing that I will be working toward an exciting goal of academic excellence. In order to achieve this goal, I am willing to sacrifice activities, clubs, and unfortunately fun. I realize that I am here to work hard and succeed.
While the social aspects of dorm life are perks, they are certainly not necessities. After I feel adequately prepared to do well in class, I may then relax and visit friends. I feel one of the most important things to remember here at college, is to prioritize. If one's priorities become disorganized and out of order, their downfall is sure to follow. Fortunately, it is easy to get back on track if this happens. If I ever find myself struggling to manage the Stockton social scene with academics, I must only pause and reorganize.
Another common characteristic of success is positivity. Students must remain optimistic in order to formulate creative ideas, and be in a good mind-set for the rigorous requirements college presents. I feel remaining an optimistic student is also not difficult. If I ever feel discouraged I may take a short break to relax and focus on something that brings me happiness. This break will refuel my mind and enable me to continue working on assignments. I feel with these two key characteristics of success, I will certainly be able to do well here at Stockton College.
