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 look 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 begun. 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 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 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 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 problem to help me understand what the material means.

Academic Success Part 1

Academic Success 
Part 1

                   My great academic success: In my principles of 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 our 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 become solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual 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 learned or what you’re studying for in the 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.

I Will Persist Until I Succeed
Part 2
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 of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.
How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group 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.

I Will Persist Until I Succeed Part 1


I Will Persist Until I Succeed
Part 1
Heather A.’s Academic Success Story
In High School, I didn’t study as much as in groups as I do in College. 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 problems where I can work out the method verbally with others. My test 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 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 the 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.

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her words were invisible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low-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. 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.

Part 3
As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in perception to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe she was 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 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 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 or driving, bot by parting, 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 achievements and you chance of outstanding success now and later.
