Transcend beyond college education

Transcend beyond college education

By Jacquinn Scales

Congratulations to all who have completed the spring semester.
Many have graduated after four or more grueling years of college while others have advanced to the next phase of their colleg or vocational educations.
It is important to go beyond the borders of standard education, or just what is taught in the classroom. There is so much more that can be acquired on campuses, aside from classroom education.
By aligning with a campus organization teaches you team working, enhances communication skills and indicates that you maximized your college opportunities.
Far too often individuals engage in things that divert their attention and sole purpose for being in college.
Some of those things can be excessive partying, dramatic entertained relationships, (just to name a couple) and at the end of the day have majored in the minor and minored in the major.
There is nothing wrong with partying and having a good time but one must have the ability to perform the fine balancing act and prioritize accordingly.
It is imperative to stay focused so that you can permit your unlimited potential to aid you in transcending the borders and not just doing enough to get by. We live in a very competitive world and having every edge is essential in ‘making it.’
College presents the perfect opportunity to meet and network with a plethora of people who share a lot of commonalities; so the proper utilization of college will enable you to make the right connections.
It is not so much what you know but more so who you know and you never know when or who you are being watched by.
Use school and don’t let school use you.
When you use school you obtain all that you can by participating in organizations, sports, networking with fellow students, establishing rapport with instructors and getting your gusto from what is commonly referred to as the best years of your life.
