The Importance Of Students Success In College

Coming to college as an adult, we have many expectations and preconceptions of what college will or will not be. The expectations we have can influence our college life for the better or the worse. My experience since starting college has been an interesting one. People have misconceptions about college because they do not know what to expect. After doing some research, I have concluded that there are three major factors that are often misunderstood about college life. The first is the financial aspect of college. Second, is the relationship between the professors and students. Third is time management. These three factors play an important role in why people are afraid to go down the path to college.

If you want to be successful as a college student you need to understand these three strategies.

Gary Colombo, Robert Cullen, and Bonnie Lisle in their book “Rereading America” feel that commencing college is a very disturbing experience. So many things we have to deal while starting college, but the major challenges are expanded difficulty levels and higher expectation which we are not familiar over the years of high school. In order to solve this issue, we have to remodel ourselves by taking up the challenge and rethink about our strength and flaws. To succeed in college we need to be mentally strong and dedicated towards our goal.

After reading the articles in this week, they are touched me so much because they explain the really fact in college now. I understand that passing classes or even getting great grades is a way for students becoming successful. However, there are many different meanings of success for students at college.

There is one simple answer to what being successful in school truly means to me. To be successful, I would have to gain as much knowledge and skills that I can to be able to utilize it in my future endeavors. I want to be able to show my brains in a non-letter form. If I was to barely pass all of my classes but have obtained all of the intellect necessary, I would feel extremely proud of the four years spent in secondary education. No employer looks at the exact letter grades you held. They look for skill, determination, and brilliance. College is nothing like high school for the reason that in high school you can memorize numbers, phrases, or the answers, quickly take the test while

This semester has flew by a lot faster than I anticipated. The akron experience has taught me quite a bit that has helped me in many different areas. Being successful in college to me means to organize and manage all the parts of your life so that you are content. College is alot to keep track of and managing this and the rest of your life is the main thing that will keep you going so you are able to take breaks. Without breaks you will get burned out and I learned this pretty fast. I would say I was successful this semester even if my grades weren't exactly where I wanted them I am getting the feel for the whole experience.

Being successful in college is not as difficult as some people think it is. With the proper preparation and observation, the student can be well-organized weeks ahead of when their classes will be scheduled to start. Not everyone is considered a highly organized individual and sometimes unexpected things happen to us all. It is important to keep a positive attitude, research, and speak with your instructors and various other staff members when needed in order to solve a dilemma. It all boils down to what the problem you are facing is. For myself, my EOPS appointment had been four days before classes were supposed to start and after taking a one-hour bus ride to the college about thirty minutes before my appointment was scheduled my phone rang.

Being successful in college is a journey and an experience, not a struggle. It is the grand experiment of our lives as we determine not only how to be successful in college but what it means to us individually. For some making connections and preparing for life afterward is the main determinant of success. For others its good grades. For me its taking away everything that there was available and then some. Success for is determined to be graduating without school loans, excellent grades and finding the proper strings to pull. To do this shall be a feat in and of itself, however, I knew this already and came expectant. First of all, finances are of ultimate importance as I need to ensure that I never end up with debt.

Success has multiple meanings for some students in college. If you ask them what success means to them, most of the time you will get the “money” answer. Personally, I think being successful in college is when you are able to apply what you learn in school into your daily life. You also cannot just be successful; you have to work hard to get to the point you defined as successful.

The success of college depends on so many factors that can inhibit or enhance a person’s ability to do well. Many college students are affected by multiple factors at once making their success in college challenging. This paper focuses on two factor out of the many factors that contribute to the success of a college students.

College is not about the content in the course it is about the tasks at hand from the course. Everyone who goes to college has struggled with the early classes the late-night paper cramming and the finals horror week. College is a tremendous amount of effort and work. According to the article Top Eleven Reasons Why College Students Drop Out: Don’t let it happen to you states that “Attributing to their overall stress, students who graduate high school and go straight into college find that the workload is more than they expected.” (Pivik 1) It’s difficult to go into a university or just any college level classes prepared and ready for all the outrageous tasks. College is not just a walk in the park, it takes self-determination,

I know that college will be difficult for me because of time management, lack of support, and the challenging classes. I am a mother of seven children, and six grandchildren whom I have devoted my life to for many years. Now it is time for me to shine. Managing time is very hard for me because it takes up most of the day. I have to car pool my daughter to basketball games, and take my son back and forth to work. My husband also demands my attention and help, because he is older now and cannot do a lot of things on his own. He comes home from work at night and expects dinner to magically appear on the table and house work to automatically be done. Finally once everything is done, it is then eight already and I still have to get the things left that I need to do before school like finish homework, study for tests, and then have myself in bed before eleven. In order to become a successful college student I will have to overcome my challenges. I would like to finish college and major in nursing which is my number 1 goal in life.

In order to become successful in college, I have taken advantage of the curriculum offered at my public high school by taking rigorous AP courses. I have also utilized an afterschool tutoring program where I am able to have a quiet place to do my homework and help from college tutors.

Three factors that most likely lead to college success are; parental encouragement, a high value of college education, and the ability to think abstractly.

Success in college means more to me than just success in the classroom. I think everyone has this perfect perfect idea of what a successful college student looks like – it is the girl walking to class with her big old backpack, and she has accessorized with her black coffee in her hand and her black frame glasses on her face. A successful college student has more than just the studious student look though. Let us take this picture perfect student for example. In order to be successful, she needs to be putting in work outside of the classroom. She needs to attend class, take notes, participate in class, take time to study, and avoid procrastinating. There are going to be times when the aforementioned seem virtually impossible, but every student
