By
now, one realizes that Wallace Community College (WCC) involves work. One can easily yield to the
temptation of just going to class and going home. Yet, if you engage with extra
activities like joining a club, visiting your professors, getting to know staff
members, researching projects in the Learning Resource Center, or even
attending tutorial sessions regularly, you will grow tremendously. When you
stay on campus longer, it will benefit your educational growth. In the past, WCC graduates balanced academics with jobs and family obligations. Therefore,
you too will reach this milestone despite external challenges. Remember,
anything worthwhile requires -- your time, your growth, your knowledge, your
fortitude, your resilience and so does WCC. Afterwards, you will celebrate
acquiring that tassel just like past graduates. Therefore, stay encouraged!
As you enter your semester break, I want you to ponder the WHY.
Really, think about WHY you are here at an educational institution of higher learning.
Do not ask the questions - what you will
receive or how are you receiving it? Ask the question “WHY
are you here?” Why do you feel that
right now you need to advance your learning? Think from the inside out instead
of the outside in. In other words, remove the focus from your surroundings, and
allow your "gut" feelings to answer the rationale for advancing your education.
Remember, to gain inspiration one must start with the
clarity of the WHY question! The WHY question produces balance in your life. The WHY question solidifies your goals and ensures completion of your goals.
The WHY question creates stamina so you will remain at WCC when the facts may
indicate otherwise. So, define your WHY, and Get that Tassel at Wallace Community College!
