Focusing the Lasers

Focusing The Lasers from Sean McFarland on Vimeo.

     Every time I see a movie made by a fellow Chabot student I can't help but feel some sort of school pride. I though the movie hit the nail on the head describing the different type of students, even thought I think not all Chabot students fit in these 6 categories, there are students that might fit in more than one category. I myself don't really see myself falling under any of the listed categories but, I feel like I am a part of 2 or 3 categories. When I first saw the video I felt like I was leaning towards the seeker group, just trying to finish my G.E as soon as possible but then I also saw myself falling in the dreamer group because I have an idea of what I want to do but, sometimes I feel lost as what exactly I have to do to get to my goal. 

     Even though Chabot is a fine school, i'm ready to leave and move on to another school, this year I started to become more of a laser, I've focused more on school and putting work on the back burner, study harder and just finish all the required classes as fast as I can to move on."Every student we have interviewed that could fit the laser category belonged at one time in another category and every one of them attributed their success to some program or service on campus that had a significant, ongoing, and "high touch" presence in their lives".I feel like falling into the seeker and dreamer group is okay, they both have some good qualities but also some not so good ones, it's making me want to work harder to  be 100% in the laser group. One of the ways I've come up with to push myself into the laser group is to stop procrastinating, manage my study time better, go to a less distracting place to study and not to overwhelm myself by taking to many class at once. By taking it one step at a time I will shortly find myself in the category I desire to be in.
