Motivation

Actually, my whole problem is lack of motivation. 🙂

I had a very, very easy time with school up until my second year of engineering. I got my AS at 15, & finished my first year of engineering with minimal studying (ie never studying if homework wasn't collected, only doing required homework, studying the night before tests). I got good grades without even trying.

Then it all came crashing down. Differential equations, statics, & circuits killed me. So I quit. 😀 That's not quite the full story, I was pretty well burned out, I didn't give a damn about school or life, & was an emotional wreck. I needed to take time off.

That was three years ago. I'm now 19, & while I've improved in many areas my study habits still leave much to be desired. I wish I'd had it a little harder in school, if I'd had to work to succeed I might have made it further. I could have a four year engineering degree by now, instead I have nothing but an AS + two years in my current job.

While I was unmotivated & generally bored out of my mind in school (gradeschool was a joke, I was in the teenage rebellion stages during my homeschooled two years, & college wasn't much of a challenge either) I have found it much easier to be motivated at work. I have done well the two years I've been here.

Motivation will come with maturity. If you aren't motivated now it's not the end of the world.
