“You will never regret doing what is right” –Anon

This statement is right on the point of truth. When you do something that you know is right and it feels correct you will never regret it. Whenever you are doing something right you feel it inside and feel great. Only do what is right will make you feel this.

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 test by simply reviewing the materials just before the class began. I 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 studying and 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 that reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid.  I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get that notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

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

--Call/Haymore

I agree and disagree with this statement. I believe that they can be together in the same place occupying the same body or idea. However one side becomes more waited than the other and takes over usually. They say you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become evil. I truly believe that this is true because deep inside if you are good there is a dark side that wants to take over and has some input, same with you being dark and bad. Therefore my answer is that this quote is very right, yet supremely wrong.    

Academics + you = success

Academic success part 1

My great academic success: in my principals of marketing class, we have 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 a team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibilities. Delegating work always help since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math foreign language tips: math basically just takes practice. I always tells student 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 collage: go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to lean.

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

French proverb

What this proverb is trying to say is it is a great felling when you have nothing bad on your mind. If you only do right things and never regret you will never feel bad and never lose sleep. When you have regrets and have think and do wrong you feel guilty and never get rest. So to avoid all of that just always do the right thing

How I’ve overcome an initial bad 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 usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignment: start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper 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 in group projects 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 project and don’t even realize it.

Heather a.’s Academic success story

In high school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school. 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 problem where I can work out the methods verbally with others. My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in class as well as 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, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple/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 material.

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

Robert E. Lee

This quote I believe this is amazingly true quote. This means that doing the right always only makes everything better and always turns out right

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 benefit, MS. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “After the car accident, allowed someone I loved to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic challenge. 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 unable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation to transfer 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 achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.
