Her life changed, however, when she entered college and learned a few study strategies. Instantly, her grades skyrocketed to a 3.9 during her first semester! She maintained that GPA all through college…and it was much easier than any of her coursework in middle or high school. Study skills changed her life!

My two favorite quotes are:

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney
“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.” - Vince Lombardi (For more “Lombardi-isms,” click here.)
