Student Success

Student success at ASU is very important. As a student with no success you could end up not graduating and wasting valuable time. Student success includes asking for help when needed, being prompt when attending classes, and managing your time so you do well in all of your classes.
Throughout high school some of us got by without using some of these key tips. This is college know and we as students cannot afford to slack of. Now that we are college students there are going to be some changes. Some of these changes include taking responsibility for our education and ourselves. Our professors do not really care if we are not in class because it is our responsibility to show up. Aristotle once said,” For what is the best choice, for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.” I happen to believe if we achieve success here at ASU we can achieve success in the real world.
Now that we are in college nobody is holding our hand. What I mean by that is nobody is going to constantly get on us about doing our homework or participating in class because we are supposed to do those things on our own. It seems a little sudden and a little harsh but that is how it is really like. When we hopefully graduate we are going to want to find a job. If we can’t take are of our responsibilities we WILL be fired, and quick.
The easiest thing you can do to success is just ask for help. Nobody is going to make fun of you or look at you any different. Just realize that nobody got to the top by themselves.

I really enjoyed the quote by Aristotle. I agree with your blog. People may have been able to slack off in high school, but we are now in college and we no longer have that courtesy. Actually working hard may be a hard adjustment, but it is one that we have to make in order to succeed at the university level.
