After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with the determination and a mindset that I would not fail with God leading me.”

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I knew I could find refuge in the Student Success Program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value.”

It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, it’s not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time: it’s as simple as that. If students aren’t willing to study now, it will be very difficult to develop his habit later on. Therefore I suggest that students work hard in their studies and at being good people doing nothing to get them in trouble during high school. By doing so they will enjoy success during high school and throughout their lifetime.

If students work hard during high school complete all assignments on time, and demonstrate a bright, positive attitude toward school, learning and other people then they can be highly successful as a high school student and qualify for academic scholarships also. All they need to do is put in time. All the hard work and effort during high school will definitely pay off. They will be rewarded for their hard work. But if they just mess around during high school years and neglect their studies use drugs and mistreat others then they can expect to fall short of what could have been their rewards of scholarships and other opportunities and they will suffer in the short and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note then you can; write your own story student’s success story.
