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 god student. The info 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 forth much an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading a 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 reading that is required for the cases, 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 attend every class I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of the volleyball I make sure that I can get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what material means.

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 class and have an idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect. The second 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 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 strategy, 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 project and don’t even realize it.

“you have only always to do what is right. It will become easier with practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”
                                    -Robert E. Lee
Doing what is right is the choice to always choose. As one chooses the right repeatedly he will find that with each right choice it becomes almost as if it were second nature. With the right choices your conscience will always be clean which will promote happiness as your life passes along.

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 a determination and a mind set that I would not fail with Odin 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.”
