I think you should consider Lawson State Community College as your first college to attend because it will prepare you on your journey when you want to further your education at a university.

Take advantage of all the things Lawson State has to offer! Exercise is important to over all physical and mental wellness, so stay busy. Look for the free tutors and learn how to take advantage of job offers.

As from my perspective of entering the college life for the first time, I would just simply tell them that once your foot hit the college campus your whole life changes. Not only are you taking a huge step in receiving higher education but you are making a choice to be something greater than what the world expected you to become. Just stay focus on your purpose of why you decided to come to college and always try to stay on top of things such as getting to class about ten to twenty minutes ahead of time because you never know how traffic might be. Always come to class very prepared as in extra pencils,your own pencil sharper,extra pens,calculator,make sure you have all your material for that class. Always study because you never know what could happen and even if you know the subject well a little studying won't hurt.Lastly but not least, if you don't really understand something that the teacher is teaching and you're a little bit shy of raising your hand in class always try to meet up with your teacher and talk to them about what the problem is. They are there to help you and they understand that some of us learn things in different ways rather its visual or taking notes or even recording them and going home and listen to it. Never leave the class without fully understanding the subject.

Stay focus on the task at hand. The teacher will walk you trough each class you have.

Stay positive and study every night.
