In this essay I am going to write about my academic performance during this year and to outline some reason that can explain it. To think in a self evaluation includes think about what we did in order to establish if we took right and wrong decisions that could influence our academic results.
Maybe this reflection is not important to some people, but for me it is necessary, because it helps me to define reason of why I am doing this, I mean, study Anthropology. It is probably that the reasons answer to another thing more generally than study this or another career, like a way of life.
I have to say that I tried very hard during this year, even though I did not read all the texts that I should do. I was always worry about works, essays, reports, test´s and oral presentations for each subject of my studies program, in both semesters. I and my classmates have to admit that this year has been very difficult and hard. We must read a lot of texts, and not all of them were easy; actually I spend a lot of time trying to understand some ideas, expressed in those pages.
To tried very hard means: go to classes, make the homework’s, read the texts. The results of your effort could see in your marks. But, a number not always can talk about the things that someone knows, actually, I do not think that the most part of the test that we had to take among the third and fourth semester, can do it.
At least I tried to do those things, and I guess that I did because of two main reasons: one, is because I like to learn new things, in fact I think that this discipline it is too interesting as well as anthropologist’s research in areas like cultural materialism, physical anthropology or ethnography; but the thing is that to read all those papers takes a long time, and I had, and I wanted, to do other activities too. So, I always had to decide between read because I wanted or do it just because I have to. Generally, I used to choose the second alternative… but it has an explanation, which is, at the same time, the second reason of why I tried very hard along this year. I always said to myself that I can not to spend time doing nothing in context of university and things related to it. Behind me, there are my parents and all the effort that they had been doing during all their lives for me and my sisters and brother, and one of its expressions is that they are my support (economic support) so I can not to answer in a different way about my “academic work”. For example to not go to class just for laziness, or something similar, it is not a good choice. I have been seen people who does not care about how difficult is for his/her parents pay the career… I do not want to be like them, never.
As a summary, I can say that this year, as well as the last one, I got good marks in all my subjects, and they are the reflection of my own effort. But more important than this, is that I learn the themes and I can used them when I talk with someone else, for example. In relation to how happy I am for it, I gees that I am too happy and proud of myself because every time that I tried to do a good job, I got it.
