1. You Will Succeed Only if you choose too!
All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

2. Get Organized and Stay That Way!
Make use of your daily planner by filling it out after every class!
Open up your planner right now and lets put in some important dates to remember this semester! Be as detailed as possible!

3. Organization Tips ! Use Technology!
Use your phones or computers at home in order to keep track of important due dates such as projects or written papers. You can even set the setting so you will be notified and/or reminded early !
Create a checklist of things that need to be accomplished.
It feels good to cross things off the list! Take advantage of that feeling ! So if you have one big task break it down into smaller parts.
Some days your checklist will be small and other days your list will be big. Focus on one task at a time then cross it off !
