Perseverance In College

After graduating high school everyone has a plan or idea over what they are going to do. Some people go straight into college, work, and some even take a year off just to enjoy themselves. Some people have it all figured out, while others do not. Those who really want to be successful in college will make a plan over what they need to do to have a successful college career. I believe that everyone should learn some good college tips to help them be successful in college. All it takes is hard work and dedication.

Succeeding in medical school will require a tremendous amount of perseverance and passion. No one gets into medical school without demonstrating perseverance and overcoming the challenges that occur throughout the journey. I have persevered through being denied admission during a previous application cycle and throughout difficult coursework while pursuing a master’s degree. Not only did I overcome the challenges that I faced, but excelled academically, at my job, and in extracurricular activities. By continuing to pursue my dream I was exposed to numerous experiences and underwent significant personal development. I understand that medical school will present very difficult material and more frequent challenges, but my goal is to be a physician

When I first entered college, I already knew what difficulties I could face by keeping balance with things I had going on at work and in my everyday life. Would it be possible to keep it all balanced or would I have give some things up? There will be times when things will collide with each other, but making choices about how it should be handled and balancing it out will be appreciated in the long run. College is were you will see if can keep your life balanced, because college is a new experience that has many challenges and trials that one will go through and learn to adapt to. Another thing that people fail to realize that will help balance things, is that if you do not invest what it takes to be successful, you will not see any accomplishments.

One day I was riding my bike up in down the street in our neighborhood and all of the sudden I hear the gears of the chain making a weird noise I look down now because my shoelace is now stuck and I can't stop. My vision is going blurry and i'm yelping for pain, I HAVE LOST CONTROL!!!! I am feeling nothing anymore and now i feel very light and i think to myself am I dead and then all of the sudden I feel a stinging like acid is being poured onto my skin. I open my eyes and realize my whole leg is in alcohol and I burns I just want to say, #!@$@!#$#@!$@#$!@#$!@#$!@#$!@#$!@#!!@$%!$@#!%$@!%#$@%!#$@!%@#!%@#$ but I don't and then i'm having gauze wrapped around my leg and i realize i'm in the house. And i'm alive

During my senior year of high school, I encountered many obstacles. One of the biggest obstacles was certainly applying to colleges and figuring out what I wanted to major in. It was a task I needed to complete on my own. My parents did not go to college, so they were helpless in the application process. I was also under the impression that my older sisters were going to assist me, but they were too busy with their own classes and work. The pressure was on, and time was ticking. I knew if I waited too long that I was going to hinder my chances of going to college at all and become a disappointment to my parents.

In order to make school a priority, there is a huge personal obstacle that I have to overcome. My obstacle is time: time for the kids, time for my husband, and time for me. I am a stay home mom, but to supplement our family income I was caring for two infants each weekday for ten hours each day. Also, I feel it is important to be involved in my children’s activities and be present whenever possible. I attend every home track meet, home volleyball game, band concert, Boy Scout meeting, home basketball game, home football game, and all my preschooler’s play-dates. We also attend church every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. I help out with youth trips, teach in a rotation for children’s church and teach in a rotation for fourth through sixth grade bible study. I am busier now that I stay home than I ever was working a forty hour a week job. To work around this obstacle, or rather to work with it, I have down sized my involvement in Boy Scouts, I only watch one infant now, and I use a weekly schedule that helps me give everyone and everything the time it needs.

Brianda Coleman Professor Dubbe ENF 15 September 2016 I know that college will be challenging for me because of transportation, time, and finances.I'm an older student and a single mother with an eight year old daughter and a hectic life. First of all transportation is a problem because I do not have my own car, nor do I have licensed yet.Counting on acquaintance for rides is difficult and the bus takes forever, never on time, and breaks down often.In addition, I seem to never have enough time to do what is needed of me.I wake up get my daughter ready for school, then I take a nap because it's so early.Then off to school I go.When my daughter returns, she need help with homework ,and at that time I give her a snack. Soon after I go to work where I stay until 8:00pm.

As my sophomore year was approaching the spring semester, tennis season started. I had never really played tennis before, but I figured it could be a fun way to stay active during my off season. I began going to open court and practicing with my friends on the weekend. I began to improve and when try outs rolled around, I was astonished to find I had made the varsity team. I worked hard at practice, which went from two to three times a week for open court to practice or games everyday. I worked hard and by the time our first game was scheduled I was placed to play third doubles with my friend. We were fairly successful, she had played for longer than I had and helped as I learned the ropes. As the season progressed, I was moved to second doubles

As we enter college we enter a new phase of our life. College inspires you to think differently and opens up many doors of opportunities. So one should be ready to multi-task and balance and a myriad of new social opportunities and challenges Here we enlist 5 basic skills that every college going student:

Just being able to start college is willpower itself, for some as well as me it is an obstacle that we have been waiting to tackle. But as a student homework, yes homework, with having a family, full-time job, working out, and homework it can get overwhelming at times. You have to find it in yourself the willpower to keep going not giving up on yourself or the people looking that may be looking up to you. Being resilient is a key part about college, you will not always be the best or pass every test but being able to bounce back and show what you really made of is

College can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience for even the best student. Nevertheless having Good time management skills, Curiosity, talking to professors and instructors, having the ability to enjoy the moment while preparing for the future Success in college means much more than good grades. Take advantage of the new experiences and ideas you’ll be exposed to in your college time, because you might never have these opportunities again.

Do you know that 20% of students dropout college because they couldn’t handle the academic work? Most people believe that college is the main key for getting a good job. Thousands of students are enrolling in college in the United States every year. However, some of them quit college after the freshman year. Learning about success in college is very important. All students should learn about success in college, which will give them a full idea of how they can be successful in college. There are many things that students should learn to meet their goals in college.

Perseverance is an art that most college students will need to master at some point. For some, the weight being on top of classes and books can be a burden too much to withstand. I am a communications major at Broward College North Campus with plans of transferring to Howard University. Many times, this seems beyond my reach; but it is not because I am incapable. For the past two semesters, I have known what it is like to be homeless four times. I am a first generation college student with no support from either of my parents. By the grace of God, I managed to survive this past academic school year without the need to drop out of college; but as time progresses, things become more difficult. A very dear friend of mine allowed me to sleep

Perseverance, purpose, and passion. These three words are core in shaping me to be the person I am today. Perseverance is an imbibed trait that follows my parents’ characters. My parents have worked and sacrificed countless hours to provide me an education that paved way to several opportunities that they were unable to attain when they were in my age. I am so honored and privileged to have received so much blessings from the people who mean the most to me. The words “thank you” are insufficient to repay their unending support and tireless love for me.

There is no other place in the world like college. Although only a few people are able to take on the phenomenal experience, not all are able to successfully finish. There is probably no other period of time where students will have more choices, more free time, and as wide a range of activities while also having to remain focused in their classes. In The Freshman Year At An HBCU, Kelly DeLong documents the lives of college students attending a HBCU to explain their expectations and accomplishments, as well as their failures and conflicts during their freshman year. The book provides a guide for freshman readers on what to do and what not to do by revealing the mistakes and successes of the college students interviewed. Freshman readers should be able to relate, respond and learn from each interview in their own specific way to understand how to reach academic success. In order to ensure academic success in college, students must manage their time effectively, choose their friends wisely, and communicate with professors regularly. Each topic is important because they will lead to success in the classroom, a social life and getting through a long first-year.
