First Day Tomorrow

[Danny'sGirl84]

Hi Everybody!

Tomorrow is my first day of college and I'm really nervous. I'm a natrually shy and nervous person to begin with so even more so for this.

I really want to do well and be the Valedictorian and so I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of me because I am also going to get my GED at the same time. (Because I'm from another country and was homeschooled I need to get the GED)

Are there any tips and advice about what I can do to acheive my goal by those who have been there?

I am 24 and the last time I was in school was 6 yrs ago.

I am doing the Medical Assistant program and then after I graduate I plan to go onto RN.

I'd appreciate anything you can tell me

Thank you!!:heartbeat

Try not to procrastinate on studying, projects and papers. Getting an early start will enable you more time to find good information and integrate the material.

Break out of your shell and make friends. Find some good study partners with whom you can study and reinforce the material.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. Many instructors offer office hours for students to come to them and discuss difficulties. Use them if you need it. Professors like to see that students are proactive and responsible for their own learning needs.

Don't beat yourself up if you do not achieve perfection. None of us are perfect. As long as you give your full effort, you know you have done your best.

Good luck and God bless.
