Goals and Outcomes:
Goals:
Being able to have at least a "B" in my math classes.
→Outcomes: I have achieved my goal in my math 125 class in passing with a "B", though in my math 150 I got a passing grade of a "C". I was a bit disappointed and I knew in one of my exams it didn't change my grade at all. Now I am in math 15, I need to study harder and a new strategy in order to figure out how I can pass the class with a "B" since this will be the last math class I will be ever taking.
Making new friends in order to gain support, friendship, and help in my courses.
→Outcomes: I have achieve this goal because I have made many wonderful classmates and dear friends who have always got my back. When I am stuck in a problem on a homework or a question I didn't get in class, I would ask them in person or email/text them in my phone for help. Sometimes we would form a study group together for a upcoming quiz/project/exam. There are also times where we would hang out after class and have lunch together before our next class, which is great idea to just relax for about one hour before going back to business in class again.
Accomplishing my general classes in order to finally be in art classes.
→Outcomes: Officially now I am almost done with my Math and English classes. All that is left for my general classes are Science and History. Thankfully I just need to take one class for each one. Even though I am in a History of Art class, it counts more in the Arts category instead of the History category. Either way, I'm both surprised and proud of myself that I am almost complete in completing all my general classes to be able to transfer to my dream art college.
For the first year, have a good GPA.
→Outcomes: In my first semester, I would have to say I did a 50% good in my first year. My first semester had outstanding grades that made me become in the honors level. Though in my second semester, There was a little bit of a downfall in my class since I was new to the course and I didn't had enough help at that point. I did went to tutoring, but it still didn't help. My first year was probably a bit stressful when it came to the second semester courses, but this isn't bringing me down. This result on my GPA gave me a challenge and telling me to bring that GPA up in my Second year. That is my next goal at the moment.
Take summer classes to gain more points for my GPA or improve my GPA.
→Outcomes: I decided to take a English 1B class because I needed something to do over my summer vacation and to get ahead to earn more credit points. At first, The summer class seems to be a bit stressful due to having so much essays to work on as well as so much reading. Also that we still had to buy the textbooks without any help, it was kinda disappointing and ridiculous because we are only spending 6 weeks in 1 to 2 classes and then you don't need that book ever again. Although the positive side about the summer classes is that you are ahead of the others and learn much more with a small class instead of spending at least 6 days learning about this one section with a larger class. So for next summer, I might consider taking another summer class again, but this time to get a head start in what book i should rent online or find a e-book instead of buying in the bookstore.
Try to go to help centers such as the tutoring center or the library for studies.
→Outcomes: The library is the best place for studying alone or with a group. When I was taking my math classes, a friend of mine suggested that we should have our study group in the library. At first I was against it because it felt more like a place to study by yourself instead of a study group, but I was wrong. There are rooms where study groups can be alone to work together and don't bother anyone else in the library. Even on this day, I still use the library as my quiet study place or study group. The math tutoring center wasn't really the best. I needed help on a particular homework and project I didn't quite understood in my class. So I went to the math tutoring center in campus, which two of my friends recommended to me, and I kinda regret it. I spend 4 hours in the room and waited for a tutor to help. There was literally 3 people who were free and they were just minding their own business and not helping the other students who needed help. it took 3 hours for someone to finally help me. After I ask them the question I had trouble with, they didn't even help me at all. Even a professor didn't know how to help me. I got more help and understanding from the ebooks online math tutoring and online homework helpers instead of that math tutoring place. That was the last time I went to that tutoring place at all.
For the second year, have a good GPA.
→Outcomes: Working in Progress

Personal Life Goals:
Transferring to a Art School in between 2016-2017.
→Outcomes: still in progress, but very close in achieving this goal. I was able to determine what major was perfect for me to study and what college would best fit my major career as well. I am working hard to finish my generals and getting the credit unit points in order for me to transfer to an art college I will hopefully achieve in 2016 or 2017.
