Campus Resource

Going to college can give someone a lot of opportunities to succeed in their career and in life. There are so many options to give to the community or the extra help someone might need in a subject they are having some trouble in. In Northampton Community College they have the Learning Center. Anyone attending the college can go and get help for any subject. Some subjects will need appointments to be seen, but some have walk-in hours. You can also get help online, if you have a busy schedule and can not make it to the learning center. They give every option possible to help the students. I, myself went to the Learning center to get some help on my writing assignment. I had the pleasure to have Maggie help me make sure my thesis was good and my supporting ideas went with the thesis. She made the experience comfortable and joyful. She let me know what would make my paper sound better, and gave me little tricks to put things togethers, to make the paper have a better flow. At the end I had my thesis statement and my supporting details for my paper. I left my appointment with a better understanding on what I needed to. Having a place to go to knowing you'll get the help that you need in the subject you're having trouble with is great. They take every minute to help as much as they can. If you haven't went yet, I suggest you do.

Education

I've struggled in school from a very young age. What took people a few tries to get right, it will make me twice as long to get it right. I learned with the help of my teachers and parents from elementary school all the way to high school. I used to think it was a bad thing that I was not able to learn as quickly as everyone else. But I still received A's and B's just like everyone else. As the years went on I noticed what my strong subjects were and weak subjects. I was good in science and math. I enjoyed that there was only one way to do things; there was only one way to get an answer. On the other hand English and reading were not my best subjects. The different types of essays we had to wright always confused me. It did not change when I was high school and even college. I always have to rewrite my essays at least two to three times until I'm comfortable with them. Throughout the years I've been in school it has taught me that everyone is different. Everyone learns different but there is no right or wrong way to learn. I've been out of school for four years and decided to come back to further my career, and not being in school for that long showed me how important school is. I should have came back sooner because it is very different from four years ago. I can say I'm glad to be back in school and what I can learn to take with me in my future.
