Student Success TipsTip #10 Chose Your Friends
Carefully
This is true no matter how old you get, my friend.
Even after you leave the hallowed halls of higher ed, you will be
greatly influenced by the crowd you run with.
Who are you hanging out with now?
Do they care about not just going to school but graduating?
Graduating on time? Graduating
on time and moving smoothly into a great job which they have prepared
themselves well for?
Well, if they are, good for you.
Study after study shows that more than anything.
Anything. More than
your level of education, or your religion, or whether you came from a
two parent house, more than any other factor, your peer group will
determine how successful you will be.
We become like those we hang with.
Picture your friends. You
are the average of the five people in your social circle you spend the
most time with.
Scary prospect?
Consider joining a club that draws more of the people who want as
much for themselves as you do.
Are you in the right crowd?
Good, now you go be a good example for them, too. ***************************************** For all 101 Tips on Student Success as a download you can get right now, go to Success Store While you're there, check out my other downloadable
