Abdulrahman Al Baalharith UNST 194 Journal 2 04/10/2020 When I graduate from high school, I saw a lot of my friends went to work. My uncle told

me that having a degree is going to protect you. You will save a lot of time working to be in a

good position. I chose to come to the U.S to continue my studies. There are a lot of challenges

that students face, but my personality never gives up. I always try my best to achieve my goal

even though my goal is hard to achieve. I am a person who is good at time management, and

google calendar is one of the good programs that help to organize people. These things help me

to be good at my interesting major. I am a person who is interested in mechanics. When I was a

kid, I was so interested in cars, so I tried to ask my father to show me the machine of the car.

This makes me so interested, so I chose a mechanical engineering major.

Two things that I face difficulty on which are working on groups sometimes and projects.

Projects are a word that makes me so stress even though it is not that hard. If I see an

assignment called homework, I feel it is not that hard even though it so long. Moreover,

working on groups is a good thing, but it sometimes makes me worried when I work with

people who I meet for the first time. I tried so hard to work to solve those problems.

Stress is one of the most problems that most students have in college. It is hard to avoid

stress, but there are some strategies to take the stress out of my mind. I google those strategies

when I was on freshmen year, and I found out that working clear the mind from all the stresses

that the person will have. I start going to PSU gym, I feel that I am in a wonderful mood after

working out. I was so skinny when I first start school, and now I build good Muscles. My weight

was about 45 kg, and now it is 80 kg. Working out helps me to clear my mind and stay healthy.

School is important for the people and the community to be educated. It is true that

school is good for us to find jobs and being in a good position in one of the important

companies. However, community and growing our brains are important too, and school helps

us to grow our brains. I will continue to study when I have the ability even though I am 90 years

old. Also, I will encourage my kids too to be educated people.
