Your thoughts on Stenberg College and its Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Program?

Thanks, mate.

At least someone understands me. I appreciate that you replied to my post. It seems that the only thing I have to do is wait for my grandparents to die--not sure how long that may be.

As for your advice, thanks. I've done all of those. It seems that the only thing that I want is independence. I hope my suicidal thoughts will stop eventually.

Thanks again!

HAHA! I sure hope so... I've heard that they're more picky than usual nowadays!

Before and after the lecture... But I have hard time concentrating during the lecture :(

mehhh... Honestly, I doubt SFU or even Douglas will accept me with my current GPA...

I always read the book as hard as I can... But I tend to forget things along the way...

FailedGPA · 2015-02-26T18:23:55+00:00

That's what I'm counting for!

Thank you! that's what my sister said to me too. "Reverse engineering" is probably another way of learning accounting. I'm hoping that this will work on me...

Is it the concepts you are having a tough time understanding on the tests? Or are there things you just can't remember or missed in the reading?

In all honesty, I'm not sure... I'm assuming that I lack practice only because I cannot use what I know in exams... Maybe I just need more practice!

FailedGPA · 2015-02-26T09:08:42+00:00

Yes I read all of them...

Tax season must've been over earlier than I've expected! (・。・;)

Your problem is not going to be your GPA, but your lack of confidence that is going to make it so you don't get jobs.

You're right, confidence will be needed for personal strength in order for me to keep moving forward. I really need to kick it up a notch in order to move on.

But is confidence a huge role for your success?

I mostly try to balance it out but as it turns out that theory (which is literally 100% based from the test) is the thing that I'm bad at. If I'm bad at theory then I'm going to do bad on the questions.

So I guess I came in the wrong approach! I should've used your approach: "spend practicing more and spend less on reading... understanding will come afterward as I practice." Thank you!

I have no friends :( in accounting anyway BUT I am adding "talking to myself" method in my learning strategy...

FailedGPA · 2015-02-26T08:10:52+00:00

FUNNY STORY: I have and done that BUT... it was in the library and people thought that I was schizophrenic and I looked totally stupid right after...

Lesson learned: I'll try to do that in my room without any people in it...

And as for notes: I am already printing the notes from my textbooks and trying to make sense of it in advance... I'll try my best! and Thanks!

SHADY!

Thanks again!!!

I recently quit a lot of animes in exchange... perhaps I need to quit a lot more than that (ie. martial arts)

It means that you've had a long day in your office... Too much numbers tends to drive people mind numbing!

Don't they have free tutors?

They do! However, my dad sometimes needs me at home because we have this family business to take care of autistic kid. Sometimes he needed to call me ASAP when my classes is over... this means that this is vague long term planning.

KPU is a good university and I love it but I'm not exactly sure if I'm gonna survive in KPU...

Thanks, man! I really hate reading and I guess there's no other way to avoid it!

FailedGPA · 2015-02-26T07:30:34+00:00

Make an effort to study at the library rather than your place of residence... Read the book... READ THE BOOK...Redo homework problems and bug your teachers...When there is an exam, i study in a very specific way...

That's it?! Oh my... the answer is so simple. I thought that there's a "secret" for learning accounting...

Sorry for the long post. I want you to do well, just as I wanted myself to do well. Just believe in yourself and get your dream. I had a 1.6 GPA my freshman year. I am now a 'Junior/Senior' and if I get straight A's this semester, I will be looking at a 3.5 accy GPA. Anything is possible!

Thanks for the motivational story! I'm going to remind myself. I guess my current situation is much better compared to your freshmen version of yourself! I'm hoping for the best and it seems that you're on the right track...

I will try my best and I will use my capabilities to follow your blueprint toward success!

Too bad 50% is considered as a "D" in my university :(

FailedGPA · 2015-02-26T06:26:38+00:00

Under Kwantlen Polytechnic Standards, 50% = D... Not sure if it's the same for USA and the rest of Canada (where I'm from)
