    Critical Self-Assessment Letter

    My academic life at Seminole State so far has been pretty solid. All my classes are

    straightforward and simple for my first semester, and I have lots of downtime to do other

    activities like work, workout, and hangout with friends. Some things that I need to develop are

    my social skills with my peers and getting involved with college events. I need to build my social

    capital in order to progress through college and have a successful career. So far I haven’t used

    many academic support services. I tried to use the counseling service, but it was super booked

    and only offered virtual meetings. I would prefer counseling to be face-to-face so I was kind of

    bummed when I only saw that only virtual meetings were offered. So far I haven’t made my way

    to the academic success center because I haven’t really struggled with any coursework thus far,

    but I’m sure in my future courses there will be some assignments that are confusing. In these

    times, I’ll eventually make my way over there to get some assistance. My transition to college

    has been fantastic. I love the college life way more than the high school life. I’m so much more

    independent and don’t have to follow as many rules. I get to choose my own schedule, when and

    what my classes are, and get to meet new people every semester. Not like high school where I’m

    stuck with the same people for four years and have to take courses that every single student in

    my grade was taking. It’s a lot more autonomous in college and I love that. My school, work, life

    balance has been a journey thus far. At the beginning of the semester, I was stressing about how I

    was going to balance school, work, and life. I decided to make a schedule to get all my
    coursework done and I got a new job that is more flexible with my schedule and doesn’t have

    long hours. This frees up more time for myself to do leisure activities and spend more time with

    the people I love. At the beginning it was a struggle, now it’s evening out a little bit. My growth

    mindset is something that I need to center my attention to. I find myself having a very negative

    outlook on everything that goes on in my life and that affects my mood, attitude, and the quality

    of my day. I find that when I’m negative and a downer all the time, I tend to get less stuff done,

    and overthink to the point where my anxiety starts to take over. I need to work on shifting to a

    more positive view on life so that my days are better and I have an all-around better life. This

    applies to all categories of my life including school, work, relationships, and just about anything

    I can think of. I have been working on my academic and career plans recently. Previously, I only

    viewed school as the infamous “A”. I needed to get straight “A”s across the board or else I felt

    like I was letting myself down. I’ve now shifted to the mindset that school is a resource to teach

    me learning habits that I can use with me throughout my entire life. School is also about making

    friends and connections, not just grades. Some of my career goals include me becoming a nurse

    anesthetist. I want to help people while also staying financially stable and maintaining a healthy

    state of mind. My plan for the Spring semester is that I’m going to follow the nursing major

    pathway and take the classes listed in the educational pathway so that I can climb my way up the

    ladder one step at a time. Some things I’m going to do differently is trying to do more of a hybrid

    type schedule where I take some of my classes in person and some fully online. As of right now,

    I’m full in person so I want to try to make the shift to hybrid so I have even more time to myself.

    I believe in myself to stay up to schedule with online classes and I’ve proven this through

    quarantine. I’m also planning on taking more rigorous courses that follow the general science
    courses required for my major like Anatomy and Psychology. I’m excited for the Spring

    semester and all the future semester to come.
