Self Evaluation of My Academic Year (2009): A fantastic year…

Through this essay I intend to tell about my academic situation of this year. I can say this year has been a fantastic year. It has been full of success and gratifications. I improved many topics in my life and I think they helped me to have a better academic situation. In other words, I can say that academic situation is not separable of others life topics. When you feel good with yourself, when you have good relationship with people, when you are healthy, I´m sure you have a good academic situation. If everything goes just like has been gone until now, I will have a very successful and fantastic year.

I can say it has been a really fantastic year, compared with the last year. 2008 was a very horrible year for me. At first, I was into a deep depression because many problems (family, job, university, money, health, personal relationships, etc.) In second place, because this situation, I don’t pass one course (Sociological Theory III). Moreover, I left three more subjects (Sociological Theory IV, Organizational Sociology and Social Psychology), which I had to take this year. I thought “I will never go out from this dark situation”. But, 2009 has been absolutely different. First semester finished totally successful: I pass every subject, including the subject last year had failed, and I get good ratings. The second semester is going to finish very soon, and I think it will be more successful than first.
But my good academic situation was affected for others topics, that probably improved my development in the subjects. I think it is necessary to talk about them. I have had a so fun life. I went to Argentina in September. I have gone out a lot with my friends. In march I fell in love, but in may 21st I gave the first kiss to my current boyfriend. With him I have been able to know new things, both academic and cultural activities.

In conclusion, I may say, surely, this year has been much better than last year. Many problems have disappeared now, and new situations have arrived to my life. Then, my academic situation has improved in considerable form. Not only my grades are better, also my interest in the career has increased. To day I can say, without doubts that I want to be a good sociologist in future. I want to be builder of a better society. I pretend this year finish well, and the rest years of my life will be always better. Well, I hope things will be in this way.

sociology challenges

Actually, the sociology confronts many problems. The most important problems / challenges that the sociology currently facing is connected with the technology, the social matters and the education.
Respect the technology, the sociology need as a discipline use more mathematical models and best computing techniques, thus, the sociological analysis could improve significantly. Use new techniques and new sociological models would mean a important achievement in the development of the discipline.
Respect the social matters, I think that the sociology need to look for others fields for research. The problems of the social class should complementing with others problems, as the religion, the women, the homosexuality, and others problems / challenges in the discipline.
Respect the education, I believe that, actually, the sociology don`t have interest in the education. But, I think that the education should be a field had very important in the discipline.
