MAGNIFICIENT NINE ACHIEVERS

Congratulations to the nine members of the College Success Skills class that recently completed a ten-week course on an independent basis at PHCC. These special individuals discovered their unique learning styles, their special personality differences, their level of self-confidence in achieving success in their special learning environments, and their crystal-balling look at their promising futures. Their special journey up and down the Ladder of Achievement during their lifetimes so far has sparked a positive desire, dedication, and determination to focus on a new adventure in their chosen career paths.

During the ten-week concentrated emphasis on College Success Skills, these nine individuals reexamined their career paths and the learning skills that will assist them along the way of being positive achievers. Some of the following topics were considered: an analysis of actual learning styles; challenges to their career success, management of finances, time, stress, anxiety, concentration; and special emphasis on effective and efficient study skills for all of their college course selections. In addition, the realization that communication skills of reading, listening, speaking, writing, observing, and performing need fine tuning to be ready for the challenges of their future careers and their lifelong learning choices. Preparing for their transformation from the classroom to the world of work required a positive assessment of their physical, mental, and interpersonal skills to be adaptable to the ever-changing technologies, global happenings, and cultural diverse challenges.

Congratulations to these special nine students for life for your growth and your willingness to be open in learning the what, where, when, why, who, how, and how much of their individual success and in your special place in history. May you always understand that learning is found in classrooms with walls and classrooms without walls. Your college of hard knocks and your college of hands on experiences will assist you in your ongoing climb up the Ladder of Achievement. "Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life. Guard it well!" (Proverbs 4:13)
