With a new semester starting, this is an opportunity for a fresh start. Please be serious about your studies and stay on top of all of your assignments. Whenever you fail or drop a class, you are losing money -- no matter what the source of the tuition fees are. Time is equivalent to money. You have so much to gain by being a successful student.</div>

Since the topic of friendship came up with a new friend of mine, I couldn't resist going to the bookshelf in my library and reading of my favorite books by Joan Walsh Anglund, <u>A Friend Is Someone Who Likes You</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
<b>Just want to share a few lines with you:</b><br />
<div>
"Sometimes you don't know who are your friends,</div>
Sometimes they are there all the time,<br />
but you walk right past them<br />
and you don't notice that they like you in a special way<br />
And then you think you don't have any friends,<br />
The you must stop hurrying and rushing so fast . . .<br />
and move very slowly,<br />
and look around carefully,<br />
to see someone who smiles at you<br />
in a special way . . .<br />
or a dog that wags its tail extra hard<br />
whenever you are near . . .<br />
or a tree that lets you climb it easily . . .<br />
or a brook that lets you be quiet<br />
when you want to be quiet,<br />
Sometimes you have to find your find your friend.The Search for Scholarshipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09293946703884045345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898409619946903996.post-77647288374255121162016-07-11T10:01:00.000-07:002016-07-11T10:01:04.904-07:00CanvasFor those of you who have been taking online classes, have heard, I am sure, that Blackboard has been substituted by Canvas. Over the last months, I have taken a couple of classes to prepare me as an instructor to teach effectively with the new LMS. In fact, today starts one more online class which I must take to be prepared for the Intro to Scholarships class which starts the end of August.<br />
<br />
Please consider going on YouTube and watching some of the tutorials on taking an online class via Canvas. There are also some videos with college students giving tips for being successful . It takes time management and organization to do well when taking an online class. The important thing is to stay on schedule. Start now preparing for this new system. It will pay off in the end.The Search for Scholarshipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09293946703884045345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898409619946903996.post-53781408598344077162016-06-15T21:24:00.001-07:002016-06-15T21:24:13.481-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

WOW!! Can't believe that it has been so long since I've entered a post. I'm sure that everyone has been equally busy finishing up the school year. I have been involved with teaching three classes and being a student at the same. </div>

Did you know that you don't need a GPA of 4.0 or to be a poor starving student to qualify for scholarships? There are scholarships for just about everything. What you do need is a strong desire to graduate debt-free and the willingness to do whatever it takes to make that a reality. </div>
