APP#7 - Motivation

This week I did two different motivation stategies.  First I looked at my reason for being motivated in school.  I found that this made me think about why I was going to college and why having a college degree was important to me.  Then like Scott, I did the chart of my academic fears.  This exercise helped me realize what my worse case senerio would be in college and then made me realize what I needed to do to make sure that it didn't happen or if it did how I could deal with it.

Academic Fears	Worst Outcome	Best Outcome	Action Needed
Failing a course	I don't get credit for the class, hurt my GPA and need to take it again	Realize my mistakes, learn how to focus better, maybe class was not for me.	Do the work.  Go to class and study.
Academically Ineligible	Let my team down and let myself down	Focus on my work and get myself out of this mess. Learn how to be responsible for myself.	Study and know where I stand in every class.  Get tutored and see teachers for help.
Choosing the wrong major	Have to change major later on.	Now I know what I have to do.	Get help from advisor and CLS
