ACE

I did not really know what to expect going into my first ACE appointment. I have never really been one of those kids that has had difficulty in school and therefore never really seen the need for tutoring, which is what I always kind of saw ACE as. Actually, that’s probably the reason I had not made an appointment sooner. I went into the appointment not really sure what to talk about besides my obvious procrastination issues and used that as the foundation of our conversation. Many of the time management principles were brought up and instead of just telling me what they were, we went through how I could apply them specifically to my life, which I liked. We also blocked off times for studying and time for friends, which I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick to, but at least it gives me an idea of how much time to devote to each aspect of my life. We also briefly talked about study habits, as my Latin tests and quizzes seem unwilling to move out of the average range, no matter how long or rigorously I study. If I had a second meeting, it would probably just be a follow up meeting, unless I started having extreme difficulty in one of my classes. At least now I know it’s there, and it’s not just a site for tutoring, it’s a site for advice.
