Student Success Statement.

" There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience."

If you only do right things and  have a clear conscience you will never feel bad so you will not feel guilty and you will be able to sleep comfortable and good. But, when you have regrets and have bad things on your mind, you feel guilty and never get rest. So to avoid all of that just always do the right thing

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 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 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, communications is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. Its really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when 2 people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it .

In High school, I didn’t study 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 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 of the methods 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 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 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 a hour or so in order to really learn the materials.

After Some serious-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and fulfill who she 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 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 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 physically, mentally, and emotionally, abuse me.”

               

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but 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.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCC transcript in preparation to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 g.p.a and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admission policy.

If took 2 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.
