It’s funny how, throughout life, we learn and grow the most during difficult and trying situations.  In a sense, this same principle can be applied to college course work.  Everyone has classes that, at times, can seem impossible–for me, it was organic chemistry.  Sometimes the material just doesn’t click, or the sheer volume of the material to be learned is unimaginable.  Hours are spent reading over the notes, rewriting notes, and then studying these notes again.  But when all is said and done, you look back and realize just how much you’ve learned.  In addition to possessing a firm grasp of the material, you realize that your work ethic, determination, and self-discipline was also enhanced through this experience.  If you are facing a difficult class, look at it as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.  Work as hard as possible, ask for help–I guarantee that you’ll be successful.
