Self Evaluation of my academic year

The year 2009 was the year where finish with my matters in the University. Is my fourth year in the career and the fifth year in the University of Chile. So it is an important year for me where I finish my pre-grade formation and then be able to develop myself as a professional sociologist. Also it was my last year with my university classmates, without forget that this year is the finish of 17 years of education to get to be a professional, doing more important this academic year, with all the feelings that the finish of cycle education implies in the life of a person.
Now, with respect my self evaluation of the academic year in general terms, it was a difficult year because i had to work and study at a time, so my time was reduce to makle both functions. I did not have much free time, so I spent my free time to rest to function well in the university and at work. I also had periods of stress and depression which led to my performance down in my duties, but still could pass.
With respect to my learning in the University, it was good because fourth-year classes have a more practical character, so feel that work is being done for the society and are interesting and relevant. So you are more motivated because you fell like your work and you are used your skills learned throughout your educational development.
Another important point about my academic year, is that this year start to feel things you have learned that you can apply in any work or any investigation, so you feel that your knowledge is important and scientifically, other than common sense, so can contribute to society from social sciences.
Finally, with respect to my qualifications in the university have been acceptable but they can always improve if I propose.
In conclusion, it has been a year of many emotions, hard work and effort on my part and that by the time I managed to overcome the difficulties that have come to me. I have also learned a lot about sociology, as I applied my knowledge in various investigations, which is good to understand what they are for my knowledge acquired at university. I hope to finish this year in a good way to then take a vacation, start my thesis, get my degree and develop as a professional.
