Now that I am getting set in with school, I realized chemistry class will be the hardest class for me. The reason I feel as if this class will be a struggle is it has to deal with math and science. I am not a strong math student so having to math with chemistry makes me feel out of my element. I currently just got done with the chapter of atoms and elements. In this chapter I had to understand what protons and electrons are. I also learned about the elements were on the Periodic Table. Not to mention stating whether the item is nonpolar, polar, or ionic. Although I felt this was tricky, it was not terrible since I learned it in high school. Having this knowledge makes me feel more comfortable with the class than others not ever taking any chemistry.
Today when I took the test over this I feel as I got the overall concept, allowing me to do average on the test. I realized from taking this test that knowing more details would help me to do better on the next test. To do better in the class I am coming to the conclusion it takes time and effort. With these qualities I will be able to pass the class and possibly end up with a good grade. Even though chemistry is my hardest class it does not mean I will quit and fail, I will work hard and do my best and possibly end up with an A!
I am very glad that I am not taking a science class this year. Science is my absolute worst subject in school and I dread every minute of it. Thankfully, in high school I had one of the best Chemistry teachers I could ask for. Mr. Glink would always make his best effort to make sure we passed his class. In the beginning it was a little rough but by the end of the year I had an A in chemistry. I believe that if I ever have to take another chemistry class, that I will be comfortable with it knowing that I had him to teach it to me once already. I also feel uneasy when I am working on a subject that I am not comfortable with. That class this year would have to be my macro-economics class. I think that I will do okay in it... if I put in the extra effort. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty good with marketing and stuff like that, but the economics part is what I have trouble with. When you are trying to learn something that you know absolutely nothing about, it can get very brutal and nerve racking; another reason why I decided not to take a science class this year. That first test is always the worst, so the upcoming tests should be easier because you know what to look forward to.
