 “You will never regret doing what’s right.”
        -Anon

I strongly agree with this statement. You will never feel bad for doing the right thing. For example, if you help an elder cross the street you will not regret it you will actually feel like a better person. On the contrary when you do something bad like cheat on a test you feel guilty and always have it in your conscience. When you do what’s right you always seem to feel better , to life a happier life.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story
In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study it 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 throughout high school, but I never really had to put fourth 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 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.

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness.”
                -Call/Haymore


This statement is saying that a person cannot be good and bad.  Choosing the right and doing good things is the light, the better side. Choosing the wrong is the dark side when you do evil things. Either you are in the light or you are in darkness.

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. 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 you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

"There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience"
                                                -French Proverb 



This quote is saying that there is nothing better than a clear conscience. A clear conscience is important because you live life free of regret and happy . I agree with this quote it is better to have a clear conscience than a filthy conscience because you won't be at rest you will live with worry.

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.

There was a survey done in the U.s on drug abuse, and it was found that teenagers abuse alcohol and drugs by the time they reach adult hood. 4 out of 5 teenagers have tried alcohol. 15% had were abusing alcohol by the age of 18.

It is so sad to see that teenagers abuse alcohol. They have a whole life a head that they are ruining by abusing alcohol and drugs. The abuse of alcohol and drugs can lead to very horrible things not only diseases, but car accidents that can end not only there life but other innocent peoples life. Teenage alcohol and drug abuse should STOP NOW. There should be more awareness on it.

Heather A.’s Academic Success Story
In high school, I didn’t study as much in group 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 blacks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

"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


 This quote is very meaningful. It is saying to do what is right , make good decisions and as doing good decisions many of times it will just become easier. It is also saying you will enjoy doing what is right and have a nice clean conscience. I agree with this quote/statement because its true , for example someone who does bad things has a filthy conscience on the contrary some one does what is right has a nice conscience and enjoys the happiness and good of life.

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 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 uneatable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

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 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.
