Success at ASU

Success at ASU goes above and beyond the responsibilities we held in high school. There are no bells screeching at us to get to class. The university won’t call your parents if you skip class or get yelled at by your teacher. Your professors won’t baby you by reminding you of every little thing that needs to be done. Everything is up to us as adults now. We chose ASU because this is the place we wanted to gain knowledge from, planning our studies and careers to be with us the rest of our lives. Coming to class and getting our assignments done is fueled by determination and the will to be here. We chose our different majors because this is what we are each passionate about, these studies are the foundations for the careers we will hold for many years to come. Time management is definitely the key to success at ASU. This balance is extremely important in college because if you do not master it, everything that should be simple will become that much harder. We need to prioritize coming to class and completing our assignments above all, while also incorporating the right amount of sleep and work hours to create that perfect balance. We all believe that our jobs and social lives are important and want to make enough time for them as possible. However, we need to remember that we came to this university to make our studies our first priority. We all want to graduate within 4 years, and we want to land a successful career that we will be satisfied with for many years to come. Mary Dawes, Ph.D, stated in her presentation, “The Power of Passion”, that following our dreams and passions will lead us to be successful, whether it be having a lot of money in the beginning or not. Coming to school every day because we love what we’re passionate about what we chose to study is the determination that will create future success. When you come to ASU, remember why you’re there. When I remember why I come everyday, because I’m passionate about my major, that is all the encouragement I need to come to class and get my work done. I want to make something of myself, and my success at ASU will lead the way.
