To be successful at anything you have to make a continuous effort. I am making sure I thoroughly complete all my assignments on time, I go to all of my classes every day and I get eight or more hours of sleep each night. Even though I have always done these patterns in the past, I feel it is extremely important for any student to follow them in college. By staying on top of classes, school work doesn’t weigh me down, or get me stressed on getting an assignment done on time.
I also feel that a big part of succeeding at UMF is asking questions and making friends. Everyone needs to feel like they have a support line for when they need it. I learned early in high school that it is a lot easier to ask questions before something is due then it is to take a retest. Supporting and helping friends out lets me practice being in a social surrounding while having fun. So by the time I am a teacher, I will have interacted and worked with many types of people and I can then apply that knowledge to the class room and my students.
Another key way to becoming successful at UMF is to take advantage of the resources on campus. There is a writing center, math center, computer center, clubs, financial aid office and a great library. All of which has great staff that helps me if I have any questions. By having such a friendly and helpful campus, I have found it a lot easier to get any problems I have fixed quickly and any questions answered.
I hope that we may get a few hints/ tips on what will help us succeed next year when we take Practicum. I keep hearing that Practicum is very challenging, why is it so hard?

I am finding how difficult it is to manage my time and how important it is to focus on the work you are doing. I do feel that my question about practium was answered and I feel I understand what I will be doing a lot better now.
