What To Think of First College Exam

Honestly I was extremely terrified for this exam. It was my FIRST college exam. I didn't know what to expect or how to feel. The night before I had to work until 10 pm and the whole shift I was freaking out. But coming into the exam today and finishing it I think all went well and I think I freaked out for nothing. I was surprise some of the questions were the same exact questions that we had practiced answering in class. I also thought the test was going to be more questions than it was. I feel like we covered more information than was given on the test. No the exam didn't meet my expectations because I thought I was going to be given a whole different questions about the topics. I prepared for the test by going over my vocabulary every other day to make sure I knew them all. I went over every set of notes we took and broke them up into Cornell notes. I went back through the chapters for this until and read all my highlighter information along with the notes I had made. I also went back over all the try it and apply it things. I believe this process was very beneficial. I think there's some areas that need work but I will work on that next go round. A full short answer, writing intensive test felt very tiring and very lengthy in the moment. It wasn't difficult it was just time consuming. The part that was the most difficult is that I wasn't use to getting full short answer response tests. All throughout of school career tests would have multiple times of questions. Yes, short answers her and there along with vocabulary but not the whole test. So that's something that is new to me.

Words

   Words can have so many meanings. They can be good. Bad. Sad. Happy. Strong. Weak.  Words can fail you or make you proud at anytime. A time words failed me was one night a couple years ago. We had just finished eating dinner and it was time to clean the kitchen and do the dishes which it was my sisters turn because I had done it the night before so it was only fair. But before I could say one word she told me it was me it was my turn and she was not going to do it and started to head to her room. But I yelled "Wait! I did them last night its your turn", so now we're just going back and forth arguing about whose going to do the dishes instead of just getting it done but before I knew it out came inappropriate words and my mom had overheard. It started with "I didn't mean to" to me storming off to my room and ended up getting grounded for a week which included me doing the dishes that night and for the next week. Do I regret it? Yes and no. I was mad so words just came out. But I could have just done the dishes and been done with it instead of starting an argument and it ending bad on my part. I have definitely learned my lesson to just keep my mouth shut when it comes to things like that and just do it.
  A time words have made me proud would have to be everyday. We use them everyday. Words are so important. Words help us explain things like how were feeling or if we like/dislike something. Without words we would live in a totally different world then we do now. Words hurting someone? Happens all the time. Words can be a lot more painful than some people think. And that's just it people don't think before they say hurtful words. Words can never be taken back. They may be able to be forgotten, but they can't be taken back. I have been in so many situations where I am on the end and I'm the one getting thrown hurtful words. I was actually just in a situation just the other day and I'm still hurting from them. But the other person doesn't care or bother to see how I'm doing. She was just willing to throw away a five year friendship out the door like it was nothing.
 

All About Me

My name is Kaitlyn Rae Serna. I was born on May 28th, 1998 in San Antonio, TX which would make me 18 years old. When I was about 2 years old my mom decided to move to Austin. My parents are divorced and both happily remarried which leaves my mom and step dad in Cedar Park and my dad and step mom in San Antonio. My whole life I was a back and forth child and I always will be. From both marriages I have a total of 7 siblings making me the 8th. I only have one biological sister out of all siblings and I was lucky to have her to go back and forth from parent to parent. I attended and graduated from Vista Ridge High School. During high school I was apart of the Sports Medicine program. The reason I joined Sports Medicine my sophomore year was because I tried out to be a cheerleader my freshman year and unfortunately did not make the team. And when I found out I hadn't made the team I knew I still wanted to be involved in some way and my best friends sister had been in this program and had told me that it would be a great way to stay involved. But it was too late to join my freshman year, so I had to wait till my sophomore year. While being in the program for 3 years I found a huge interest in multiple sports like football (both fall and spring ball), baseball, and basketball. Before joining I was never a sports kind of gal, so this was a big change for me. But joining the Sports Medicine program my sophomore year was the best decision I made in high school because it gave me so many opportunities that I probably wouldn't have experienced if I hadn't joined like getting to attend all these extracurricular events for example football made it to the State Semi-finals in 2015 where they played at the NRG stadium that I got to attend, I got the chance to build relationships with all the athletes, and gained a liking in sports. But most importantly I finally found what I was interested in and what I want to do for the rest of my life which is tend to athletes. I look forward to going home and attending some football games this season and when in season baseball and basketball games. Apart from school I enjoy baking and I tend to think its my go to stress reliever at times. I also enjoy listening to country music. Some of my favorite artists are Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini, and Jake Owen. Some of my favorite songs are " Ex To See," " Peter Pan," "House Party," and "Church Bells."
