If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources to help you with this process and with achieving your personal college and career goals. Without goals you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm and passion for that which you really desire.

Andrea Packer anticipates graduating with a B.A. in education from Catawba in December 2011 and then enrolling in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program from Salem College, also offered on the Davidson campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC early Childhood Education program.

If you prefer to play videogames, then remember that making any games requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you can imagine how the novel you are reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role playing adventure action and so on.) the basic idea is to find match point and links between our affections and our chores. And such links there always exist. Remember to link ideas and concepts is the most important habit for successful students.
