How to be a better student, with better grades by chigaroogarem

"After a few years out in the "real world" I returned to school, this time more focused and determined than ever before. I was recently accepted into grad school, which was my goal, so now I'm moving on to the next level."

How I did it: When it comes down to it...I believe that it was hard work and determination that helped me to succeed. This was my second degree and although my first attempt at a college education was lackluster, I knew all along that I had it in me to flourish in the world of academia!

All it took was a few years--years that allowed me to see education as a privilege rather than a chore. By the time I returned to school, I had decided that I was doing this for me and not for my parents. I think this outlook changed my whole perspective, as well as my expectations of myself.

Lessons & tips: The best tip I can give anyone is to keep lines of communication open with their instructors. This greatly reduces any chance of mishaps...and we all know how costly those can be.

    Hip Hip Hooray 8 months ago

    Graduation is only 62 days away!
    After that I’ll continue my studies at the next level, working toward my Masters in Counseling.
    I’ve received several honors since my last entry. First I was nominated by members of the faculty to serve on the Dean’s Advisory Council. Obviously someone thinks highly of me. Second, I was informed that I will receive an invitation to become a member of Kappa Omicron Nu, the National Honor Society for Family & Consumer Sciences.
    As for this semester, I should be wrapping up my internship hours this week, submitting my final essays, then coasting into May!!!
