I learned more about how to use GivePulse to find volunteer opportunities and keep track of my service hours. Overall, the training showed me that volunteering is a great way to help others, gain experience, and become more involved in my community.
The workshop helped me understand that college can be challenging, and it is important to take care of my personal wellness. I learned that managing stress, asking for help, and staying organized can help me do better in school. I will try to use these skills in my daily college life.
Today, I attended the PGCC men’s soccer game. I enjoyed watching the players work together, support each other, and show teamwork throughout the game. It was a fun experience, and I liked being part of a school activity. I learned that teamwork and communication are important for success.
I learned that women can participate in football and show teamwork, confidence, and determination. This experience taught me the importance of supporting women in sports and encouraging them to follow their interests.
The Retention Hub mini session helped me understand the importance of staying focused on my goals and asking for help when I need it. I learned that I need to manage my time better, stay organized, and take my classes seriously so I can be successful in college.
The Promise Academic Recovery with Retention Hub helped me think more seriously about my academics and what I need to do to be successful in college. It made me realize that I need to take my classes seriously, stay organized, and ask for help when I need it instead of waiting until I am struggling.
One thing I learned is that there are resources available to help me, and I should actually use them. I also realized that my study habits and time management can make a big difference in my grades. Moving forward, I plan to stay on top of my assignments, study earlier for exams, and ask my professors or advisors for help when I do not understand something.
Starting the year with our first Promise Scholarship mini session has reminded me just how lucky and grateful I am to be part of this journey. Being surrounded by people who support, encourage, and believe in my potential makes this experience so meaningful. I’m excited for everything this year will bring, the lessons I’ll learn, the connections I’ll make, and the growth I’ll experience. I truly feel fortunate to be part of the Promise Scholarship community and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
Attending the “From Grades to Goals: Mapping Your Academic Path Forward” mini-session helped me think more seriously about my academic future and the habits that affect my success. During the session, I reflected on my strengths and weaknesses in school and realized that improving my time management and staying organized can help me reach my goals more effectively. I also learned that grades are not just numbers, but feedback that can help me understand where I need to improve and how I can grow as a student.
Attending the GivePulse Demo Training (Mini Sessions - Personal Enrichment) was a helpful experience because it introduced me to a platform that can be used to find volunteer opportunities, events, and activities that support personal and professional growth. During the session, I learned how GivePulse helps students stay connected with community involvement and track their participation in different programs. I also learned how important it is to build experiences outside of the classroom because they can improve communication skills, teamwork, leadership, and networking opportunities.
Overall, the meeting motivated me to continue working hard and to enter the next semester with a stronger mindset and clearer goals. I feel proud of completing this semester and excited for the opportunities and experiences ahead.
