  • 00:00 - 00:03

    I'm Joshua gravelly and I'm a criminal justice major at

  • 00:03 - 00:08

    Virginia state and I make freshmen and freshman studies.

  • 00:08 - 00:12

    I feel like freshman states has helped me in ways that no other class has,

  • 00:12 - 00:13

    like for instance,

  • 00:13 - 00:17

    is also has helped me with my multitasking my time management skills.

  • 00:17 - 00:22

    Um And I feel like I have some pictures I'm about to upload when I find how to upload,

  • 00:22 - 00:26

    I'm gonna put them right over here somewhere over here for you to

  • 00:26 - 00:29

    select the pictures of my work and how it's changed over time.

  • 00:29 - 00:34

    And also like I wish I could show like the time frames and when I used to do like

  • 00:34 - 00:38

    I used to start off my work and then how like I do it now because for instance,

  • 00:38 - 00:44

    before freshman studies, I believe I would just do assignments probably

  • 00:45 - 00:51

    maybe like a day, like a day right before they do um like late nights as well,

  • 00:51 - 00:53

    but going on professional studies,

  • 00:53 - 00:57

    like like actually going professional studies and actually taking the course,

  • 00:57 - 01:01

    I can see like improvement that I've actually been taking a couple of days,

  • 01:01 - 01:04

    maybe even weeks before like an assignment was due.

  • 01:04 - 01:07

    And I've been doing them like before like nightfall,

  • 01:07 - 01:10

    I'll do them before the sun like sets or anything like that.

  • 01:10 - 01:14

    And it's just I've also been saying like I've been getting a lot like higher scores

  • 01:14 - 01:18

    on my grades and my test when I take more time and I actually like,

  • 01:18 - 01:18

    you know,

  • 01:18 - 01:21

    I take the time to manage whatever class because usually it's

  • 01:21 - 01:25

    just a lot of work because I have six classes.

  • 01:25 - 01:28

    So it's just really a lot of work and I have four classes on one day.

  • 01:28 - 01:30

    So it's all just a lot of classes at once and

  • 01:30 - 01:33

    it's just kind of jumbled my brand and I took like,

  • 01:33 - 01:36

    I got a lot of other tips by actually writing them down,

  • 01:37 - 01:41

    um writing down like when or do when to do them and stuff like that.

  • 01:41 - 01:45

    Um but basically with freshman studies, I feel like it's,

  • 01:45 - 01:49

    it's not all been freshman studies because there has also

  • 01:49 - 01:53

    been a time where I believe that I've always been diligent

  • 01:53 - 01:55

    and like, you know, I've actually been a good test taker.

  • 01:55 - 02:00

    I've been a good time management management person with my work.

  • 02:00 - 02:03

    I think it all just ended and started because of covid

  • 02:03 - 02:07

    like when it hit because eighth grade um I think that's when

  • 02:07 - 02:12

    I first started actually being serious with my work and understanding how

  • 02:12 - 02:14

    school works and how I want to be successful in life.

  • 02:15 - 02:19

    That was when I found out because I remember the first quarter,

  • 02:19 - 02:22

    it was about like a month or two, it's like a grading quarter.

  • 02:22 - 02:26

    So my mom said, if I get all these abuse on that quarter, then I can get my ears pierced,

  • 02:26 - 02:28

    I can get my ears pierced

  • 02:28 - 02:31

    and I got all the zombies and then I realized that

  • 02:31 - 02:34

    I could actually accomplish something like that because I don't,

  • 02:34 - 02:35

    I don't think I ever really got all the

  • 02:35 - 02:37

    zombies before and that was just the first time,

  • 02:37 - 02:40

    it was just that excitement and that that that that rush I

  • 02:40 - 02:42

    felt and I just realized I don't have to stop there.

  • 02:42 - 02:45

    So then throughout the rest of the year I got all the zombies.

  • 02:45 - 02:49

    My dad was a little rocky year for me, that was a little because I was, you know,

  • 02:49 - 02:52

    it was like a stepping stone, I was just getting used to a whole other thing.

  • 02:52 - 02:55

    I just got all the zombies. So that's why I kind of tipped over

  • 02:55 - 02:58

    and I like I bounced back and that was the most

  • 02:58 - 03:02

    diligent I've ever been because I was on top of work.

  • 03:02 - 03:04

    I was doing everything I needed to do, No help,

  • 03:04 - 03:06

    nobody had to tell me anything and all the zombies again

  • 03:07 - 03:07

    even.

  • 03:07 - 03:12

    Um and then the, when we had like online it's got a little bit more hard,

  • 03:12 - 03:13

    a little bit hard,

  • 03:13 - 03:16

    but I still find a way to get all the zombies one

  • 03:16 - 03:19

    c so not all these abuse and that's in the year,

  • 03:19 - 03:21

    I was good, I was fine.

  • 03:21 - 03:25

    But I just feel like freshman studies now has structured all that together.

  • 03:25 - 03:26

    I just put all that together,

  • 03:26 - 03:30

    Just put all the like my strengths throughout those years onto one and

  • 03:30 - 03:33

    it just makes you realize how much of a better student I am

  • 03:33 - 03:38

    and how much easier everything is is and I think special studies

  • 03:38 - 03:41

    has actually helped me and I believe I can actually put a

  • 03:41 - 03:45

    lot of this into like future work like throughout my whole life

  • 03:45 - 03:48

    because time management is a big problem in life and I,

  • 03:48 - 03:49

    and

  • 03:49 - 03:53

    I feel like that also does play a part in your how you manage

  • 03:53 - 03:57

    your money because money management is also a very serious thing I believe,

  • 03:57 - 04:02

    and I take that very seriously and I think by learning how to do

  • 04:02 - 04:05

    um time management, learning how to um you know,

  • 04:05 - 04:10

    write stuff down like and I won't forget stuff like that like that can also, you know,

  • 04:10 - 04:15

    you know, put into like my actual money and management and credit.

  • 04:15 - 04:18

    So I believe freshman studies has helped me with a lot.
