WOW, i just realized that I haven’t posted in a long time. I been working on getting better in programming and have moved my whole schooling schedule around, it’s been a little crazy. 

If anyone has any tips on how to get better in programming inbox me and lets have a chat, I feel like I’m barely learning anything in Uni.

I’ve been thinking about posting my art/bullet journals as templates for everyone, so let me know if you would be interested in that, the picture is an example of just a basic trial run.

                 I posted last year about how I failed my first university midterm exam, so I just wanted to post this as bit of inspiration for those that might not be doing so good in uni or school in general.

                I started off university wanting to drop out because I found the change from high school to university to be difficult, and ending the first semester with my gpa at a 2.0(the bare minimum to continue my program) and the grades of a C, D and a B in what where suppose to be easy classes did not really help my confidence.

BUT I kept going and thought I’ll see how the next semester goes…. and I am soooo glad that I did. I studied more, I tried to connect/talk to more people in my classes and practiced coding in my spare time with things that I found interesting and as a result I finished my second semester with THREE -A’s and one B and my gpa jumped up to a 3.0.

That being said keep going, try different techniques, it might look hard and there were nights that I thought I was going to have to pick a new major cause I found the concepts to be to hard but your work will pay off.

Just wanted to start off to thank everyone I just reached 100!! followers. Which is big for me considering i never post regularly. But thank you everyone thats following me.

Just some of my notes from my first day at university. Ahh so nerve racking trying to find where everything is and where you should sit, luckily my sister showed me to my classes before the day started so i wasn’t too lost. Not to mention the one class that i was excited about( app development class) turns out to be a simple drop and drag program, i was hoping to actually write the code not just click a button but oh well.

"Imagining College Without Grades"

The education system relies heavily on grades; from pre-school to college graduation day, students are taught that the highest grades belong to the hard-working and most intelligent beings.

This theory may not always be correct. Excellent school performance is becoming a commonality, but may not imply increased student learning. The article "Imagining Colleges Without Grades" by Scott Jaschik relays ideas to alter the traditional grading system that were presented during the annual meeting of the Association of American Colleges and Universities. Evaluations and portfolios may be an alternative to the traditional scales, though they still present complicated issues such as training professionals to understand and utilize these options. It would take years to complete the transition away from grades in college, but it will take even longer for conventional students to adjust to the new systems.

"Imagining College Without Grades"

All through out my high school years i wondered why I was being measured and compared so intensely with my peers. We always studied, went to extracurriculars, took pre-courses. It wasn't until the beginning of my junior year that i realized it was because of the steep collegiate competition for admission. I never understood how my intelligence could be measure by the opinions of a teacher or by the SAT board members. But like the article says, its our system and it would be difficult to venture beyond the traditional grading scale. Still there has been progress in the right direction. With the development of narrative evaluation and other contemporary forms of seeing student progression we can eliminate the old scales. Even prestigious law schools today have evolved past the grading system. It is my belief that true intellect can be measured. Now we just need to find the proper way.
