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 god student. The info 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 throughout high school, but I never really had to put
forth much an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college
however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading a 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 reading that is required for
the cases, 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 attend every class I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we
are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of the volleyball I make
sure that I can 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
material means.

“Light
and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness.”
Call/
Haymore
What
I think this statement means is that you are never in the light if you choose
the wrong you’ll never feel good about yourself. If you are choosing the right
light is around you, you feel good and you’ll never feel bad. But you can never
be in both the light and the dark that means you can never be good and bad you
can be one or the other.

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 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. Not 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.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”
French
Proverb
What this statement means to me is that if you are not a kind
and honest person you cannot sleep and feel good or sleep right away, but a
person that is honest and does everything they are told you to do they’d be
happy and have no worries.

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 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.

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 method verbally with others.
My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial test, 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.

As Kennedy lay complied 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 the 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.

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 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.
