In this meeting Ive learned how to better manage my digital presence and present myself professionally online. Also this meeting helped me to reinforce the importance of being conscious of what you post. Everyone can see what you post and what you say. Even when you delete it or it has a low view count. Its important to think over what you will post and what you will say to people online, because there are no take backs.

During this Mini-Session, Ms. Chantia went over a few objectives about how stress can affect us physically and emotionally in different environments. We discussed about the different types of stress and stress effectors. We also went over on some helpful tips for stress relief for us students. For example, journaling and habit stacking. Overall, I enjoyed participating and attending this mini-session.

This session was really good and informative on how to access our own PGCC school accounts and through the app Navigate. The host was there to provide/help us walk through and explained how to interact with certain features and on the app/the PGCC website. I was also able to have my questions answered. Overall it was a good mini-session.

In the STRIVE Academy Orientation, we learned about the program’s requirements/eligibility and the mission that is expected to be achieved. I also learned about the benefits that the program offers to us students and what expectations the STRIVE team wants from us students as well. Overall it was a great experience having to interact with a new diverse student community here in PGCC with endless of opportunities.

In this Refresh session, it went well overall just going over the requirements to maintain a good standing for the Promise Scholarship. Same with meeting the Community Service hour requirement, 15 hours per semester and maintaining a good gpa.

Attending the end of semester meeting was a great opportunity to reflect on my academic journey and financial responsibilities. The session reinforced the importance of meeting scholarship requirements to remain in good standing, such as maintaining grades and completing service hours, while also providing clarity on deadlines and expectations for the upcoming fall term.

This session was an eye opening discussion talking about how social media and perfectionism contribute to mental health struggles among me and my peers in our college years. Highlighting the pressure to present the "perfect" life online, leading to anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout. Emphasizing on comparison and unrealistic standards resonated deeply, reminding me of the importance of self compassion and being mindful of social media use.

In this W.O.W Spring 2025 Retreat i’ve learned a lot of methods to improve and succeed for this Spring semester here in PGCC. I’ve noted down the components and requirements for the organization. I’ve gotten success tips and insights from all the coordinators on the program, getting to meet the two new coordinators as well! Overall, this event was really fun.

Getting reminded of the requirements for the scholarship as well, with the service hours, the new mini sessions in order to acquire more hours. The coordinators also shared some tips and tricks in order to maintain in a good standing with the scholarship.

The End of the Year Semester meeting went really well. The Special Scholarships admin were explaining new requirements for the program and going over old ones in order to keep spot in the program. We also played a Kahoot game, testing all of us about the meeting. We learned about the deadline to apply for FAFSA as well.
