It is not easy for someone to do something extremely out of his or her comfort zone. That is why they call it a comfort zone; you should feel all right doing it. However, when you expand what you are comfortable doing, you are always moving forward in your life, which should be everyone’s goal. It is not easy, but if you expand your comfort zone in a good way then you should feel better in general.
I have never been one that likes quitting things. I was always taught growing up that once you make a commitment, you must stick with it until it is through. That is why I never quit I sports team growing up no matter if I hated going to it everyday or not. Whether I did not like the coach, the players, or just the sport in general I always had to stick it out through the end.
The same thing goes for school with classes. Throughout middle school and high school I never dropped a class that I was having trouble in. I always tried to work my hardest to get the grade up before the report cards came out. This was easier to do in high school because you had a lot of easy homework grades and extra credit you could do. That is not the same in college.
This year in college was the first time I ever really quit something. I count dropping a class quitting, and I dropped microeconomics this past Monday, so I look at this as the first thing I have ever quit. The reason I did this was simply to help myself out. I had a bad grade, and the only way to bring it up was to do well on tests, which has not worked out for me thus far. The choice was easy to protect my GPA; I needed to drop the class. I do not see this becoming a habit for me, as I will try to do my best in every class I take throughout college.
