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 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 material 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 fourth much. 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 concepts. 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 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, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss the class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student that is in the same class. Also, for subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

Academic Success

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles for marketing 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 out 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. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

 

English, math, forgiven, 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 that you should want to learn.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT.

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 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 assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number 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 the 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 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 I do in college. I feel I learn about 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 methods verbally with others. My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial test, 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 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.

This painting puts me in a thinking mood. Icant describe what it looks like, so the painting gets me thinking. It is very weird, and looks unexpainable. It loos very nice, and artistic. My thoughts of Dali's painting is that he is very artistic. He is a very good artist. His paintings make you think about them, and they are very colorful.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and 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 said 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-valued.”

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 she 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.

Salvador Dali is a famous artist. This painting is called persistence of memory. This image looks depressing to me. It looks sad. Like it needs more color.It has a lot of colcks. I think that this picture means, that live for today not for tommarow.

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 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 year’s old but felt “overwhelmed by life.” She has just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking, 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.
