Undergraduate / "Changing to a public school" - UCF bumb in the road [2]
Please Read and tell me what i need to improve
Changing to a public school from an extremely small Montessori school--my previous grade only containing seven other students--was the hardest obstacle I have ever had to overcome. I wasn't used to being around many people, getting work done for the next day, and getting from class to class. At the Montessori I was surrounded by the same people for eight years, staying in the same building all day, having the freedom to work outside alone, and have a list of work that needed to be turned in in six weeks. When arriving at King, the public school, I knew absolutely no one, I didn't know the rules and procedures, and did not have the ability to do what I wanted at the time I choose fit. In the first week I sat alone in lunch but after that I decided that I needed to approach people or I would never gain new friends. I ended up talking to a few people in the class before lunch so I would find someone with likes and dislikes close to mine. For the first quarter of the year I did not do well with my grades, I ended up with a close to F in my science class and C's in the rest. On the day after I got my progress report I told myself that I need to change my way of working and do what I need to do the day after I get it so I will not be pursued to forget about it. The most important lesson I learned from this transfer was that I cannot expect to live the same life forever and I need to know how to adapt more easily to changes.
