First-Week Introduction

The first week of my junior year brings new opportunities for growth and learning. With experiences the CODES program has given me, I feel confident that I will have a successful semester both personally and professionally.

Midterm Introduction

At this point of the semester things are running smoothly. I have accomplished part of my goal but to accomplish the rest of it I need to retain my full potential back. One of my main struggles is being a procrastinator. My goal as I move forward is to stay caught up on assignments and allowing myself to be productive throughout the day.
