My Accommodation At Texas Tech University

When I got admission to Texas Tech University, I found myself in a new environment where I had to adapt by either accommodation or assimilation. Accommodation means that I would have modified my current schemas to fit new information while by assimilation I would fit the new information into my current schemas. Consequently, I would have been at a state of balance if the new environment would fit into my schemas. Unfortunately, I never achieved the equilibrium. I am at my adolescence stage whereby I experience intense mental, emotional, behavioral and social changes. This caused my poor coping strategies in a new environment with a lot of freedom. Moreover, I was overwhelmed and failed to meet the demands of my new roles as a college student

I ended up having difficulties to adjust socially which caused a lot of homesickness and loneliness. Managing the new social freedoms was hard so was the integration to the new social life of college. As a result, I experienced a lot of obsessive thoughts, anxiety and minor depression. My motivation reduced and a sense of disinterest engulfed me all long and I ended up performing poorly in my exams and assignments. In addition, I was a victim of peer pressure wher I wanted to belong to category of cool students since they were regarded as the cream of the college and people accorded them respect. For this reason, I ended up in a negative peer group where I spent most of my time attending parties and I had little time for my personal studies. I was naïve and very much determined to explore the new world. Moreover, I would miss classes due to hangovers that made me miss a lot of the course content and thus I had little to deliver in my exams hence the poor performance. Furthermore, I was disinterested in my course -exercise sports science, because I had no background knowledge of what it entailed. My ambitions declined and I became less committed to my studies since my level of passion lowered. The development of a negative attitude towards the subject contributed majorly to the disinterest .Moreover, I got many academic responsibilities that I

Further, I learnt the benefits of pursuing it and the job market that is readily available. They also helped me identify the major problem I had that is, lack of understanding the course. I ended up setting goals which I am determined to achieve by implementing the right strategies and mechanisms. I have the drive to understand and make sense of the world and this is the motivating force behind my learning the course. For this reason, I am seeking readmission to the university because I have purposed to be part of their tech teach program since one of my goals is to have a classroom of my own within a year. In addition, being part of this program will keep me occupied all through and I will be fully committed and dedicated to it. Further, this will keep me from partying while in college since I will become more time conscious due to the new life changing decision. Moreover, the program will help in boosting the levels of my self-esteem and confidence as I will be doing something that will shape my future since it is my area of specialization. Interacting with others will lead to formation of new and good social relationships that will enable me shape my personal values and professionall
