Describe one New Year’s resolution that will help you become a better student in 2016. by Amber - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

My 2016 New Year’s resolution will be to get more involved with different types of students and groups who are involved in study groups around campus that are trying to navigate learning while entering college. This can help me by seeing what my role can be with them as I transition from high school to a college student. This will help me by learning different study techniques, class preparedness, detailed note taking, time management, taking advantage of review sessions, extra office hours, and extra credit work and scheduling outside class time with my instructors.
There are times when seeking out help is sometimes frowned upon by your peers. While working with these people I would get to see the benefits of helping others, being able to help myself and maybe not be too scared or stubborn to reach out for help when I am in need and to show other peers the way to seek help as well.
Once away from home, I would like to be more independent but still have the freedom to ask for help from my parent. Down the road I can see myself helping new freshmen and maybe high school students navigate the path in becoming first time college students.
