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 motes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material 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 result 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 attended every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough 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 study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no 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 assignment’s, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting certain number of pages done by a certain day of before the paper is due.

How I succeed in time projects: communication! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of the cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. Its really important that every one 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.

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 methods: I have very different techniques. For financial test, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from 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 learned when class is over. after reviewing the information, it  sticks a lite 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 studding blocks of about on hour or so in order to really learn material.

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 struggle and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value.”

As Kennedy lay crumpled 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.

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-yaer-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 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.
