Reflection of last week
Last week for me was good and bad at times. The reason why the week was good on a whole was due to me meeting all my targets and completing my work. However the week was bad due to the pressure I was put under due to me having to meet deadlines and also do things outside of college. Last week I had to make sure that I returned a piece of clothing that I ordered however when I went to return it I forgot the receipt. This small mistake had a major impact on the rest of my week due to the fact that I made the mistake of sacrificing doing some college work in order to go to the shop before it closed. In order for me to complete my task on time I had to stay late after lesson to make sure my work was up to scratch. This was something that I had to do for personal reasons, it's important for me to make sure that my work gets checked by a teacher before I submit it for marking; if I was to submit my work without a teacher looking over it, I would personally feel that I am letting myself down and I will be nervous about the piece of work, I like to have a good and strong feeling that all my assignments are as close to perfect as they can possibly be. Outside college I had to make a big decision to tell my manager that I can no longer play football due to the fact that I would like to devote more of my time to college as I feel it deserves more attention than it is currently getting.
Challenges of this week
This week has been more laid back then normal. The reason for this is due to the things that have taken place is college such as opening evenings. This is where the potential new first years come to the college to see how it is. Due to this event it meant that everyone had to leave college early. For some people this was good but for me it was really inconvenient due to the fact that I wasn't able to stay behind, meaning I couldn't get any work done. I was really annoyed by this situation as it now meant that I was slightly behind where I wanted to be with my assignments and I will have to potentially give up something else during the week. Another reason for this week being more relaxed would be due to us not getting so many assignments due, I think this is good for the class as a whole as it gives us a little break as we are not always working on assignment after assignment. This is different for me as I have to increase my work rate from when I was doing GCSE's as most of the pressure was on when it came closer to exams, however with a Level 3 BTEC course you have to make sure that you are always on top of your assignments when you want to get the best grades; that's why my attendance is so important to me because I know that if I was to miss a day or even a class it would have a major impact on me as it will be a gap in my education.

Next week objectives
Next week I am planning on
going to my football training session to speak to my coach. I would like to
speak to my coach to think about my football and how I can balance it with my
college work, I feel that it is important to speak to my coach about this to
remind him how much I am committed when it comes to football. My objective for
in college is to make sure that I get back to my old ways and to stay on top
of my assignments. Personally I feel that I have let myself down in recent
weeks as my standards have slipped. Although I did feel like I needed a break
as I did used to devote all my time to college to maintain high standards of
work. However when I have decreased the extra time I have put into my
assignments I have personally seen that my work isn’t as good as it was before
and that I am slipping. So my goal for next week is to get back to my old ways
in order to help my work get as close to perfect as possible. Also I will like
to maintain my perfect attendance record as I feel it will play a massive
factor when it comes to applying for universities.
