Throughout the course of my time in high school, there were times when I did not give a class or an assignment my best effort, or others when I would absorb information only to regurgitate it when test time came around.

I eventually learned of a resource on campus called the Altshuler Learning Enhancement Center (A-LEC) that offers various classes on important skills needed in college.

Being a teenage girl I fulfill the stereotype of being on social media, on every device, at all hours of the 24 hour day. Now I aspire to be the amazing student others look up to, and not just for the homework answers or because I have a certain number of followers on any given site. I prepare to meet the challenge by committing to staying away from distractions like social media, and to actually put my heart into studying.

From kindergarten to high school, students learn that education is the key to their success. A quote that I feel explains this is from the greek philosopher, Plato, who said, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.” Education gives us the skills we need to create our futures, in any career we choose.
