journal entry for 2nd meeting

1. How was your first week of stay at MCL?

My first week was good. It was very exciting and a little bit nostalgic since I'm a transferee student and this is not my first time being a 1st yr. college student.

2. Describe your professors. What are traits do you find positive in each one?

My professors are very patient and understanding when it comes to handling and communicating with the students. They are very good in the courses/subjects they teach and they entertain every question that I and any other student have raised.

3. Describe your blockmates/section. What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your section?

I'm not really in the block section of my program and so I have different classmates in every subject I attend. But I can say that as 1st year students, they are very eager to learn and are very attentive to instructions.

4. How do you find your courses? Which ones do you think are easy and which ones do you think are a little bit challenging? Why?

I have a course on freehand drawing which is very exciting for me, because It falls under my forte/interests. Ofcourse Math11 gives me the challenge because I'm not really good in math.

5. Do you have any adjustment you feel you are going through or must go through? What are they? Cite examples in terms in your academics, emotions, and social environment.

I'm 20 yrs. old and I find it a little bit hard to mingle with my classmates because they are a little younger than me. But then I don't really see that as a problem or anything that can cause negative emotions on my part because, hopefully, in time, I'll be able to fit in with my classmates.

journal entry for 1st meeting

1. In the first few days you've spent in MCL, how would you compare your highschool life to what you envisioned college life to be?

My experiences in highschool are very much different to the few significant things I experienced at MCL. Before, I was very dependent on my parents when it comes to matters that involved school. But now (in College) I experienced more independence in decision-making, I learned to talk to people with more confidence and I am beginning to feel more comfortable being surrounded by the people at MCL. Some experiences and scenarios may have been a little different from how I envisioned College when I was in highschool but they don't turn to disappointments because every new thing I experience is another chance to grow as a college student.

2. What is the importance of Values Education?

Values Education gives the opportunity to an individual to grow as a well-grounded, refined and respective member of his/her community.

journal entry no.1

1. How does Values Education work to your advantage?

Values Education gives me the confidence to interact with the people inside and outside of the school. It helps me to be more attentive and appreciative of the things that I learn and experience everday.

2. After you have processed your first few experiences at MCL, in what way this will help you achieve successful adjustment in college?


Those experiences will help me in identifying the things that I should and should not do, the things that I need and the steps I must take to make myself more comfortable with the people around me during my stay in MCL.
