Part 2

I'm really excited about HCOP (Health Career Opportunity Program)! I arrived six days ago, and already have made tons of friends. This great learning exsperience will further my knowledge in Chemistry, Math, Biology, and Study Skills.
This is my first week at HCOP, and I already feel more confident in many of the areas I lacked confidence. All of my professors have been extremely insightful, and supportive. I never took Chemistry in high school, but this program has already given me an amazing introduction into it.
I am beginning to understand Chemistry, and with this program and the help of my professors I will not be devistated to enter any of my classes in the fall. I feel as if this program will prepare me for college in more ways than one. Not only will I have an introduction into several subjects that I have classes in, but I will be more confident in myself and my learning abilities.
In high school I always had an advantage in all my classes. Either I already knew most of the topics we would cover, or I could always cram and memorize the information a day or so befor the test. I know college is more difficult, and my study methods are not the best. I need new ways to retain information, and accurate studying techniques. I want to make good grades in college! All A's if possible. I am very determined, and strong willed. I believe in that saying: if first you don't succeed, try, try again. If I don't understand something I am not afraid to find the answer.
The only thing I really don't enjoy in school is being asked questions. Even if I know the work, or can answer the question. I detest being called on. I do not know what's wrong with me. I wasn't always this way, but when teachers ask me questions I break down. It is like I go blank.
