Academic Confidence
My level of confidence for academics for school is perfectly fine, except when it comes to my classes that I'm not very good at, which is English/Writing and Biology/Anatomy and Physiology. The only thing I lack confidence is in my grades for those classes. When my grades start to go down in those classes I just kind of start to give up and not try anymore, which isn't a good solution at all. Some days I have this feeling to learn and actually get something out of class that day. Those are the days I actually focus and learn a lot in class those days, which have been happening lately. Probably because I've been getting a lot of sleep lately, because I haven't been staying up late doing homework, because we practiced so long or because we haven't been doing morning work outs which make me really tired the rest of the day and makes it really hard for me to focus when I'm extremely tired. I don't know whats gotten into me lately, but I think I've come to the conclusion that if I don't get my grades up I'll lose my scholarships, which means I won't be able to play softball or go to this school anymore, because it will be too expensive without scholarship money. I really don't want to leave this school, because I have so many friends here that I don't want to leave behind. So what I need to keep doing is every time I get unfocused or distracted by someone or something or I start thinking about other things that don't have to relate to my class. I need to tell myself that I need to focus so I can pass this class and get my grade up in these classes so I don't have to leave. It will give me confidence to maintain and improve my grade tremendously. I know I can pass this class, because I passed Anatomy and Physiology in high school I think I can do it again. It's just a little more work here and requires a lot more studying. Thats when my studying habits have to come in. I need better study habits, because its hard to force myself to study unless someone makes me. So I need to get me a studying partner for Anatomy and Physiology or all the classes that I'm struggling in. That will help improve my grades in those classes or go to tutoring if I need it.
