North Carolina A & T State University Top Questions

I was always exempt from test in high school because my grades were always above average. In college there is no exemption and I missed the opportunity to learn how to study and apply myself for test. I find now as a college student that it is often difficult for me to test because I never knew. If I could go back to high school I would take all final exams even if I could be excused from them because those test taking skills will help you along the way in college.

I know you may be a little nervous about going to college, being there by yourself without your parents around, but I honestly can tell you I know you will be just fine. You know you have you cousin there who is always there for you to talk to and his friends are very friendly and will treat you like a little sister. But you are really independent as well, you know how to cook, you know how to figure a way to get around and you are pretty good with your money. Just know that not everyone out here is your friend, and not every guy want a relationship. Do not only be book smart, but try and be street smart too, there are guys and girls in college who bring nothing but trouble, keep your friends to a minimal. Lastly, remember your priorities and that you are paying for this education so make sure you keep your grades up and keep them there.

The education I am recieving is going to be invaluable to me in my future life. It will be the first time in nearly 4 decades of hard work that I will have an actual career, one that I can be proud of and one that will help other people as well. In these challenging times I think it's more important than ever before to not only be well educated but to have a wide variety of educational skills. We can loose a lot in way of worldly goods but no one can ever take away our knowlege, it's my most valuable possession and one I will continue to persue in the years to come.
