Cerro Coso Community College Top Questions

In my opinion, doing all the homework assignments is very important. In college, nobody forces you or cares to tell you to get your work done because you are responsible for yourself. By doing all the homework assignments, you can learn far better than just sitting in classroom. Spending more time on studying is also very important. College courses require much more effort than the ones in high school. They often need you to research and organize your information on the subjects. Partying is a big problem for college students, including me. It is fun and helps you to know more people. But after a long time of partying, you will not be able to focus in class or have energy to do homework and study. Setting up an academic goal is the most important thing. Knowing why you are in school and what you want from being in school now will be the reason why you should study hard now. Having an academic goal is also a motivation for yourself. Being aware of what you are doing and why you are doing it is the key to succeed in college.

If I was able to go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would definately try to talk some sense into myself. My freshman year of college I did not make the best choices; I have had to work extra hard in order to graduate in Spring of 2010. I would tell myself that getting good grades in college is important. It is also important to be active in the college and make a lot of friends. I would remind myself that working while going to high school is difficult, and point out that it will be harder to work and go to college, but it has to be done.
