Student Success Statement

You will never regret doing what’s right.”

-Anon

Reflection: I agree a lot with this statement. If you do the right you will never regret it. On the other hand you will be proud of yourself and feel good that you did the right. If you do the right you will get a nice feeling but if you choose the wrong you will be filled with regret, shame, and guilt. Choose the right and you will never regret what you did!

Academic Success

Part 2

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 took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the materials 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 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 the reading that I did not get to as 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 class because of volleyball I make sure that I 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 the material means.

Student Success Statement

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light – CTW is darkness”

Call/ Haymore

Reflection: This is very true. If you choose the right you will be in the spotlight, and if you choose the wrong you will live in darkness. Choosing the right is positive like light and choosing the wrong is negative like the dark. If you choose the right you will live in peace and light and if you choose the wrong you will live in darkness and filthiness. Choose the right and avoid the negative dark wrong!

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 a 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, 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

Herr 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.

Student Success Statement

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

-French Proverb

Reflection: This statement is really true. There is nothing softer than your conscience. If your conscience is clean then everything good will come your way.

There is no pillow softer than a clean conscience. If you choose the right your conscience will be clean. If you choose the wrong your conscience will be filthy and not good  will come your way. Choose the right and have a clean conscience, it’s never too late to choose the right!

I will persist until I Succeed

Part 2

 How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a dad 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 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 certain day before the paper is due

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your synergy, 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.

Reflection


Reflection: This story was really sad and disappointing. Drinking and driving can lead to death. It is really sad to know that 4 out of 5 teens drink alcohol which is 80% of teens. Drinking can lead to car accidents and can kill others. For example the people who lost their life in the car accident lost it because the driver was drunk. Choose the right and avoid losing your life in a situation like this. If you choose the right and don’t consume alcohol you can prevent yourself form getting into an accident and losing your life.

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 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 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 you 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 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.

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement
“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”
Robert E. Lee


Reflection: This statement is so true. I agree with Robert E. Lee because you are only supposed to do the right and never the wrong. If you choose the right frequently, it will become easier and rewarding. Your conscience will also become clean and approving. You will become a better person if you choose the right and ignore the wrong. Always choose the right and become a better person!

Part 5

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 don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value”

Part 4

As Kennedy lay crumbled 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 DCC 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.

If You Will

Part 3



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 resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found 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 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.
