According to dstate.net dscsastudents-club- s, Before I left home and headed to St. George to you will do the same. The first week of school is a great time to get involved and start the year off right. begin my freshman year of college, my cousin gave me a journal. She had written several quotes in this journal. One quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson stuck out to me the most. It read, Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. I took that quote to heart and decided right then and there I was going to approach everything at college enthusiastically. I found that whenever I was enthusiastic about something at school, I relished it even more. But over the years I have made the of taking my time here at Dixie for granted. mistake Now its my senior year, and I am going to be even more To get the good times rolling and get you enthusiastic about the year, Im going to issue you a few challenges for your first week at school. Your first day of classes is a great place to start. For Challenge No. 1 , 1 want you to talk to at least three people in each of your classes. Introduce yourself and get to know a little about your classmates. This will not only help you make new friends, but it will also help you find partners for future class group assign ments. If the people you talk to seem potentially interested in your friendship, you are probably safe to ask them for their phone num- afta a couple of classes together. But if the people you talk to are kind of standbers offish when you address them, thaes a good chance they think youre a creeper. To avoid aeepa status, try finding out what you and your classmates have in common. For example, I love the Utah Jazz, so if I meet someone who loves the Jazz as much as I do HI let him or her know he or she can come watch it in HD at my house anytime. Ill ask that person if we can exchange numbers so I can let him or her know when I'm having a game night party, and that person can let me know if he or she is having a Jazz related get together. If you don't have anything really in common with your classmates and you still day would join, and with suit of many students Social According to Dixie's club website, the Black Student Weda-da- support system so the students have others to turn to in hard times.
