Academic Success Part 2

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was to be 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 review the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throught out high school, but I never really had to put forth much effort to get the results that I wanted to see in college howeve, 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 concepts My overall studying method: I do fall behind, I usually use the not 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 another students in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry , I do practice problems to help me understand what the materials means.

You cant be a good person and a bad one at the same time you have to pick between being good or bad . being a good person always brings good things. 

Academic Success Part1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing classes, we had to come up with a product and sell it. My teacher ended up with couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than they needed since I was team leader I assigned them to certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individuals 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 learn or what your studying for in the class. If you don’t remember 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 your absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

I Will Persist Until I Succeed

Part 1

Heather A.’s Academic Story

I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange note 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 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 I learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects tests: 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.

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, 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 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 unstable, 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 got 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 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 changes for outstanding success now and later.
