Student Success Statement: Robert E. Lee
Student Success
Statement:
“You have only always
to do what’s right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy the midst
of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”
Robert E. Lee
Reflection: What Mr. Lee is trying to say is once
you do what’s right, you will try more and more to do what’s right. As time
progresses it will seem natural giving you the satisfaction of you well doing,
a good conscience. Once you believe what you’re doing is right, and feels
right, you will be happy. You can live in harmony with what you’re doing and
how good you feel about yourself.

After some serious
soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful
and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with
determination and a mindset that I would not fail with God leading me.”
She says her first semester back was difficult. “I
knew I could find refuge in the Student Success Program,” Kennedy said. “To my
benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times,
I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future.
I have learned to have self-value”

I see elephants in the water, well it is a surrealist painter, so it is an unrealistic view on the elephants.
The feeling in the painting\mood would be a comedic view, it is quiet relaxing but with an eerie feeling.

As Kennedy lay crumpled
in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her
wounds were invisible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem
and depression,” she said. “For years, I allowed someone I loved to physically,
mentally and emotionally abuse me.”
She had previously
tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic
challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take
cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a
certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable,
hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation to transfer
to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 grade point average and
that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective
policy.
It took two false
starts before the 22-year-old Thomasville resident found her true calling,
elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the
value of herself. She thought back to when she was only 18 years old but felt “overwhelmed
by life.” She had just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car
accident.
“I almost killed
myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living
a life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard, but not waste
time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your
chances for outstanding success now and later.
