"I am driven to achieve well" (Rating 1) -->
Since, I had some private problems during my first semester i couldn't focus much on study which affected my exam period. I was not concentrated enough for this study course although i understand the lessons and tasks. Therefore things didn't work well. I have to change this for my second semester, otherwise i cannot continue this study course which would be a horror scenario for myself.

"I study well even when I don't feel like it" (Rating 2) -->
Impossible for me. When my learning environment is not optimal i cannot study well, because then I'm to distracted to the things which are going worse. I have to change this, therewith I can focus on that what is important to me. Passing this year. Being happy with this study course. I'm working on a structure, making a week schedule for myself and it works.

"I am clear how my study will benefit my life" ( Rating 4) -->
Yes, I'm totally clear. With my study I can work wherever i want and almost what i want. Since, I want to become an international manager I know that this study will help me to achieve my dream. Working in an multicultural environment and have the possibility to help people.

"I know my reasons for study" ( Rating 5) -->
I do. I know that a Bachelor degree will bring me into the next level. People would accept me more with a degree. I would get a job much easier than without a bachelor graduation, therefore I'm working hard for having my dream job.
