Are you in your freshman year, and wondering why your Professor keeps mentioning office hours during class? What is he talking about, and why does it even matter? Don't feel embarrassed that you don't know - it's not explained to any students during freshman orientation. Sure, they tell you where to pay your tuition and when finals week will be - but what about how to prepare for the final?
The problem is - most of high school focuses on getting INTO college. You hear a lot about keeping up a GPA, extra-curriculars, and test scores. The goal for years was to begin college. Once there, there are limited, if any, instructions. You arrive at class and study and work hard, but you're falling behind, and you aren't sure what you're missing.
This is 100% not your fault.
All the Professors and Financial Aid Advisors and General Advisors think someone else is giving you the 'unwritten rules of college success'.
The reality is no one is.
It's time to have a personal mentor for college. Someone that is taking time to teach how to:
- navigate the system.
- understanding and using office hours.
- network for summer internshipss.
- learning to maximize your study time.
You didn't know this before, but you know it now.
Let's get started.
