Struggling with Physics as a Non-Traditional Student: A Personal Journey

[Crcata]

My name is Chris and I am currently taking Physics 1 at UTA. I made an 88 on my first test but it was a struggle and I continue to struggle even more as time goes on. I am 28 years old and recently went back to school, quit my job as a 911 operator to do so and am so far enjoying myself. Physics is taking up FAR to much of my time however. I spend more time in the physics clinic than I do in my classes haha. Looking forward to hopefully getting some help now and again.

Am currently working on a physics report, I expect needing to ask questions soon haha.

Welcome to the PF!

Thanks for your service in Dispatch and in the Army! In addition to my full-time EE job, I work part-time shifts as an EMT. Dispatch can be a busy place sometimes!

Thanks! And no kidding! its crazy how many moving parts are all happening at once in dispatch. But EMT is awesome, I know a few and they don't get paid nearly as much as they deserve, atleast around here anyways.
