Graduation Stress
I am graduating next month, and I was hoping that this time around it would be a lot less stressful. (I graduated last May as well, and there were a number of banquets and luncheons to attend, all the while having to complete my coursework!) Even though it is stressful, it is so worth it! One of the reasons for all the stress is because I have worked really hard to put myself at the top of the heap academically, and one of the many great things about MontCo is that you are recognized for your efforts! (I didn't do it for the recognition, but it is definitely a nice added benefit.)
When I came to college, I decided that I would do my best, and I would take advantage of the opportunities to get help and make the most of this opportunity. Here at MontCo, I have been able to do just that. (Whether it was tutoring in the Learning Assistance Lab-fondly called the LAL, or by borrowing DVD's that went with my math textbooks from the AV Library, or going to workshops and attending tutoring sessions through the ACT 101 Program.) There really is so much that you can do to improve yourself and to increase your level of success that to me it seems wrong not to take advantage of it! And in reality, all those services are free-it would be foolish not to use them!
