#1 - Be your own advocate-ask lots of questions to get what you need to be successful.

#2 - Show confusion appropriately-make sure the teacher knows who you are, in a good way.

#3 - Communicate your struggles to your teachers. What is going on that affects your work?

#4 - Think of school as your office in training. Are you a good co-worker?

#5 - Dress for success, but don't panic, you don't have to wear a suit to be taken seriously.

#6 - At least do the minimum so you aren't creating gaps that are harder to bridge later. Better yet, DO MORE!!

#7 - Sweat a little. School is your brain's gym. You have to work out your muscles, make them a little sore, if your going to lift a heavier load later on.

#8 - Be in class. Don't jeopardize your own training.

#9 - Surround yourself with other students who can help you. You don't have to be best friends with everyone you seek advice from, but find friends or acquaintances that are rooting for you, the BEST you!!

#10 - LIVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL!!
