QUESTION 1:
What are some of the challenges you have faced or are currently
facing in your studies? Can you describe a specific situation or
situations where you encountered a setback in your academic
journey? (10)
There are several challenges I have faced and continue to face in my
studies. One specific situation where I encountered a setback in my
academic journey was during my sophomore year of college.
At that time, I was taking a heavy course load, including some
challenging STEM courses. I was struggling to balance my
coursework, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments.
This led to a lack of time management and resulted in me falling
behind in my assignments and studying.
As a consequence, I received a below-average grade on a midterm
exam in one of my major courses. This setback was disheartening as I
had put in a lot of effort initially and had high expectations for
myself. It made me question my abilities and caused a significant
amount of stress and anxiety.
However, I recognized that it was essential to adapt and find a
solution to overcome this setback. I sought help from my professors
and utilized resources like tutoring services and study groups. I also
started prioritizing my time better, creating a schedule, and breaking
down tasks into smaller, manageable chunks.
By actively addressing my setback and making necessary changes, I
was able to improve my performance and catch up on missed
assignments. It was a valuable learning experience that taught me
the importance of time management, seeking help when needed,
and not being too hard on myself when facing setbacks.
