Student success statement

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

-Rosa Parks

This quote exactly what is says there is no hidden meaning it is straight to the point. When you know you have done the right thing there is no reason to be fearful as you have done good. When one is stricken by fear for doing the right thing it’s because we live in a world that is no longer right.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·         Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·         Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·         Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·         Use your time efficiently.  You use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·         If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·         be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other thing you might like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·          If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·   Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy and healthy

He reminds students that “The activities and courses students choose wary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situation clearly in mind.” McGowan continues, “for example, student’s actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have such time during performance sessions. Student athletes need to remember the times of the years of the year that they’ll be tried up with games and practice. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classrooms must keep that reality in mind.”
