Academic success part 2

Laura B.’s academic success story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the materials just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concept. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I didn’t get to as an additional study aid I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volley ball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class.

Choose the right!!!

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness.”

CALL/HAYMORE

What Mr. HAYMORE was trying to say was that there can’t be light and dark in the same person for example: if someone breaks your car window but gives you something at the same time he did than he was choosing the wrong.

Academic success part 1

My great academic success: in my principal of the market class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegate work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in class, if you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember you should want to learn.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

French proverb

What the French proverb is trying to say is that there is nothing more comfortable that following your conscience. If you have a clear conscience and you know if its good than you do it but if it’s a bad conscience don’t do it

How I’ve overcome an initial grade: when receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignment, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain day before the page is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A.’s academic success story

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as in do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the method: I have very difficult techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

My time management secret: one of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple project/test: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the materials.

“You have only always to do what’s right. It will become easier by practicing, and you enjoy in the midst of your trial the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

Robert E. Lee

What Robert was trying to say was that you have your whole life to try and choose the right. If you practice hard enough you’ll like the feeling you get of choosing the right then feeling bad for doing the wrong

After some serious soul searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with determination and a mindset that I would not fail with god leading me.”

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I knew I could find refuge in the student success program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefits, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-valued.”

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were visible. “After the car accident I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said. “For years, I allowed someone I loved to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but she was immature and not ready for academic challenges. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quanssheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 grade point average and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admissions policy.

It took two false starts before the 22-year-old Thomasville resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the value of herself. She thought back to when she was only 18 years old but felt “overwhelmed by life.” She had just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living a life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard, but not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievements and your chances for outstanding success now and later
