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 material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all through out 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 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 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.

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 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 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 synergy, communication is crucial. I remember u 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.

Academic Success Story Heather A.’s

In high school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school. 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 other. 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 point 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/test: 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 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.”

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.

Two False Starts

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 though back to when she was only 18 years old but felt “overwhelmed by life.” She had just graduated from highs school when she was in a serious car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not 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 four outstanding success now and later.
