Heather A’s Academic Success story
In high school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school. I fell 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 test, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problem 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/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 an hour or so in order to really learn the material

Part 5
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 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.”

You Can Succeed in School If You Will
Part 4

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. “Four 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 left unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.
