A Self Evaluation: My academic Year

Academic year 2009 wasn’t really what I was expecting. Some things that were not normal at all happened and changed the rhythm and directions for the year. It was a year with many experiences: some very good, some, actually, very bad. Anyway, everything counts in this life and everything makes sense when calculating the balance in relationship to this first year of college. Even though this was my first year, I can say I was very lucid about it, because I found myself in between two abysses: the high school reality and the college reality. This year is no more than the transition time in between two periods of my life, the time where the person hopes to get adapted to this ambient that sometimes is taken out of its normality and makes the people on it adapt to it again. Is the chameleonic college student’s life.



All the experiences acquired this year were really notable. I might even talk about my extra-academic life, however, everything that is done in this university tends to a final goal, and that is the formation of the person. My comment might not be really graphic, but if we think about all the moments we’ve lived in this study house, starting the day in which we first stepped on it, we will find some predestination to live concrete experiences, that were oriented to the human formation of which we are made. That can be clearly seen in all the classes I took this year. I remember very well all of them and a lot of them were very awesome for me, because the teachers not only tried to teach us, but they included their own experiences, that made classes a real treasure of incalculable value.


Academically, my first semester wasn’t as good. I managed to overcome all my subjects and pass them, even though it was really hard to retake the work after a strike. I consider that semester as a reflexive one, that would make me pick my teachers for next semester more carefully.



About this semester, I can say it has been a Little harder and dense about academical contents, because we have our first great approximation to laws, with Constitutional and Civil rights. However, I’m very glad with my outcomes: I’ve improved in some areas, though I have worsen my skills in some, but that’s not hard to solve with a little more work.



Finally, I consider this academic year very fructiferous. Besides what I mentioned in my last paragraphs, the experiences I was able to acquire were many, and roughly, that interest for the career is starting to appear more and more every day. However, I must have some self criticism: next year I’ll look forward to more responsibility when working and being more efficient with the times I possess, so I can finish everything with good timing and have better results overall.
