Welcome to your first weekly response! For this week, I'd like you to talk a little bit about yourself. Introduce yourself to the class and talk about what you're interested in, what you think you might major in, and what you might be hoping to accomplish as a college student. Include:

• one wish you have for yourself this semester
• one worry you have
• one thing you want your faculty to know

In my spare time I like to play around with graphic design and web development. I'm really hoping to make this course a place where everyone can feel more prepared and more confident for the college life ahead.

By the way, if you see a picture next to your name, it's the one from your Lehman360 student profile, if there is one. If there's a pic that's better for you, email it to me at mark.wilson@lehman.cuny.edu and we'll use that one instead!

After completing the regulated survey, I determined that my level of Motivation display is influenced by a number of factors, including my goal orientation, mindset, and exam anxiety. I need to find tactics to boost my desire and confidence in my test-taking abilities, as well as effective ways to find new ways to regulate my anxiety, which can impair my performance, especially when I have significant tests. Some of the tactics they have mentioned include learning more about relaxation techniques to lessen unpleasant feelings and increase my focus. Learning to talk to myself favorably about my possibilities of success. In addition to creating timetables and structuring study periods so that I don't have to worry about getting everything done.

My name is ysamar but you can call me ysa. I'm majoring in pre-nursing with the hopes of getting into the nursing program. I'm still deciding on what I want to do specifically with my nursing degree in the future. I do have to admit I am little nervous because I do hope to be able to make it into the nursing program I've heard it's a lot of work and a lot of pressure. But I think we should all stay positive. Some of my hobbies are film, music, gym and baking.

When I took my survey, my results were mostly accurate. However, only one of them was the thinking strategies I got in the middle range which is mostly accurate, but I think I am more on a higher level for my thinking strategies because no matter what it comes to, I am always a thinker. This comes to real life situations, assignments, talking in real life, arguments, discussions, essays, etc. This is probably why I am very talkative and specific when I am saying things because people tend to get very confused or have misunderstandings so I am specific when they ask questions. So

My name is Rienne and I attended High School for Health Careers and Sciences.

Hello, my name is Djonaya and I have big dreams and goals set for myself. I'm in college because I want to become a Nurse. To be specific a Nurse Practitioner. It's been a dream ever since I was young and I'm finally taking the steps to achieve that. I understand that Nursing school can become very stressful and tiring but knowing that I don't easily give up and is extremely patient, I know that I will be just fine. There will be times when I feel like giving up, but I know that I can pick myself right out of that and back on track. Nonetheless on my free time I enjoy watching movies and shows and cooking.

Hi, my name is Sharmin (DIDI), I'm Dominican. One of my wishes is to be an anesthesiologist, for that reason, I wanted to be first I want to be a nurse to be able to understand things easier. I want to study nursing to see my ability to learn about medicine. One of the concerns I may have is that it doesn't fulfill all the dreams I want, for that reason I am trying to sacrifice myself by doing things well. One of the things I want this faculty to know is that at first I may be lost in class or not understand many things because my first language is Latin Spanish but I am doing my best to understand everything and to a good degree.

One of my strongest beliefs about myself is that I am committed to achieve whatever my goals are with the help of God.

Hello my name is Yadiel and I attended Health Opportunities High School. I am 17- years old and I am majoring in pre-Nursing, with the goal to become a nurse in the near future. Not sure what field I really want go in, but I’ll figure that along the way. My hobbies or interests are watching tv shows such as anime or supernatural shows.

Hello everyone! My name is Tania. What I believe in most about myself is that I will try my best to get where I want and reach my goals for the future. I also believe that whatever is meant for me will happen, so if anything does not work out, it is for the best and something else more suitable is planned for me. What I hope to achieve as a college student is to complete my 4 year degree and I want to be a pediatrics nurse after I graduate college. I think this is a good suitable job for me because although it can get stressful, I am very hardworking, and can keep up with it. I also have lots of experience with babies and young children, so this is best field to go into. However, this is what I am majoring in, but I still would like to be other things, such as a teacher, dentist, radiology tech, pharmacist, and more, but this is my top 1, so this is my dream job. So, pediatrics nurse is going to be my main focus.

One wish I have for myself this semester is to be on top of my work and hand my assignments in on time and to also do them on time.

One wish I'd have for this semester would be to keep up on due dates since I tend to lack when it comes to time.

My wish for this semester was to at least make a new friend here in Lehman college but I’ve already done that. I worry that I might not be good enough in my classes later on in the semester but right now I feel confident. I want to become the best version of myself as a student. Coming out of my comfort zone is equally as important because making new connections and speaking up for myself is essential for me. I want to be able to ask for help if I ever find myself having a hard time.

Also one worry I have is the amount of reading I am given for multiple classes but also being able to understand and retain that information that is given.
