i think this isn't true because there is times when you do the right thing but you might regret it after.

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 reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concept. 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 didn’t get to as an additional study aid I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volley ball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class.

My great academic success: in my principal of the market 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 became solely their responsibility. Delegate 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 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 your absent, and remember that you want to learn.

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 DCC “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 benefits, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-valued.”

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 DCCC 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.

As Quansheeba Kennedy Reviews her DCC transcript in preparation to transfer to Salem college, she can hardly believe she has 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 and reaffirmed 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 the life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard and not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.
