Push Yourself Beyond You Limit

 

Now that we are in college we have to rethink about how we will make it through the years to come. Since we are all mostly just leaving high school we will still sometimes act and thing as such. It will only take time for us to get the full effect of being in college; some might be quicker to catch on then others. That is ok because we are in college to learn how to make it in life. Preparing for what is going to be on a college level exam is not easy for most of us, because we are used to high school level thinking. After reading threw a few of my fellow peer’s blogs one of the blogs have caught my attention to what I believe to be a college level questions.

To me these questions seem as if you can answer them but you have to think deep within. Comparing these to questions from high school no one would expect them to be on a quiz or exam. The way this blogger asks the questions in depth it amazes me and shows me that all I have to do is think beyond what I know I can do. The questions are not open ended so if someone didn’t do the reading they wouldn’t be able to just guess and write down anything. For these questions one has to do the reading to get the right answer. That is where I believe this blogger has such strong questions because they are making it so that if the person didn’t do the reading they will not be able to just guess. This will show students that they do have to do the reading because sometimes you never know how the professor will setup his or her exam.

Some high schools would make the quizzes and exams work for the student but what they don’t realize by doing so they are making the student think this is how it will always be. High school teachers don’t push students beyond the limit of where they need to be, instead they try to help them find the easy way out. What I can learn from this exercise is that I need to push myself to the limit to prove to myself that I can do and think as a college student should instead of finding an easy way out.
