Saturday, July 19th, 2008So you have not been successful in college. Maybe you did well in high school or perhaps high school was a long time ago, either way failure is not an option. There are a lot of things not under your control when you are trying to get an education, but these do NOT matter and you must concentrate on what you can control.
So your first task is to do a simple self inventory on what your are doing right or wrong.
College Success Questions:
1.Am I attending lecture? I do not mean just showing up on time but sitting in front, paying attention and coming prepared to ask smart questions.
2.Is my family aboard? If your family does not support your college endeavor it will increase your likely hood of failure. This includes your parents, spouse or partner as well as children.
3.Do I have the right friends at school? Your slacker drunk friend may be fun at a party but will not help you pass your finals. The person you party with is probably not the person you want to study with.
4.Do I study? This is a no brainer if you are not studying get your butt in gear.
5.Do I know how to study? If you are studying, but not getting the results you want it might be time beef up your college study skills.
First step in college is to be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses. If you confront your weaknesses you will be successful.
