Succeeding in College How to be the one-in-three Lesson #8
The uninterested student • Just passes through • Little effort put forth • Takes easy classes • Indifferent to grades
Motivation is #1 • Key to Success • Do better than students that are smart but uninterested. • Natural ability goes only so far • Hard work does not equal motivation
Bored? • Its not all fun or interesting • Change majors • Change colleges • Consider leaving college temporarily or permanently
Choices Have Consequences • Support yourself • Lower paying job • Not the job you really wanted
Ask yourself… • Why am I going to college? • If I don’t succeed in college, what will I do? What is plan B? • In your own words, explain why it’s important to actively engage in your learning.
