“YOU WILL GO FAR WITH CTR”

This is what CTR means, choosing the right. That’s the first thing I want to say, when you choose the right you go far and beyond heights you have never gone before.  The funny thing is there are more people now than before that do the opposite.  It’s quite a relief but it is what it is. Let me give you a personal example, I have been choosing the Right for almost my whole life it’s quite a decade. I refer to myself, it’s not about statistics or a number for me, it’s just being able to be apart of this. And having the opportunity of choice to freedom. It is true choosing the right does bring you far. It really isn’t that difficult to choose the right it’s actually quite simple.  When you choose the right everything is correct you feel that what you are doing feels good. When you have that good feeling; that indicates that you are on the path of a good person. What this idea you can do it, yes you can bring it everywhere you go. Tell your friends hey guys let’s choose the right and be good, tell your family, the Nation, the entire World, We are the people and we can do it together, we can unite as one to make change happen.

There is a lot of ways you can choose the right for Ex. Respect, Good Person within, showing Tolerance and Respect, being fair, showing your appreciation for others, and showing everyone who you are. I’m so glad that I myself was on the path of CTR throughout my lifetime and still counting from now. It was all because of the decisions I made that determined who I am today. “Decisions Determine Destiny” Thomas S. Monson.

Part 1

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.

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 though 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 concept. 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 as additional study aid.  I take good notes in class an actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

Student Success Statement (French Proverb)

Student Success Statement

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

French Proverb

Reflection:

I think this quote means that the pillow clearly is a good thing. I’m guessing it all comes from the hard focus you put into and then it’s a nice and comfortable. If you do the opposite then you wouldn’t really find a soft pillow you would find a hard one instead. The things you do can affect your outcome and show how it’s like if it’s soft or hard.

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 numbers 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 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 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 blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

Student Success Statement (Robert E. Lee)

Student Success Statement

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your of your trails the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

Robert E. Lee

Reflection:

When I think of it there are many good quotes but comparing this one to other’s this is very important because it focuses in doing the right things at all costs. Just by choosing to do what’s right at least trying you will go somewhere of instead doing you go backwards and under. Always follow your objectives and you will go beyond, but don’t come out denying your existence.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and fulfill who she was desired 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 visible. “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 talking a few DCCC to take cosmetology classes. But 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.

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 left “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.
