Success is a Lifestyle 2012 has arrived and, with a New Year, individuals look for a fresh start. Like a re-birth, many hope to remove bad habits and cloak themselves in a new and bright wardrobe that is replete with opportunities for success and improvement. However, as the year takes hold, most people find the transformation from the old comfortable self to a new better self to be a task that is as challenging and illusive as congress submitting a balanced budget. As Site Manager for the NTC of Mott Community College, I cannot provide you with a simple solution for ongoing success. I do think it is important to outline some basic foundations that will help you both as students, employees, and individuals to have better control and direction of your own success. Success is a Lifestyle Setting successful habits is a “way of life” that is built and established over time and not a resolution that one writes down at the beginning of a new year. Most success comes from long term commitments and not short term proclamations. Set Goals that are important to you and your life. Know the reason for each goal and believe in its value. You are more likely to stick with a goal if you value reason for achieving the end result. Do not be afraid to Fail…it is the most important ingredient in success. A positive failure is doing your best at something without the desired results. It means you did your best, learned from the experience, and are better prepared for additional opportunities. A negative failure occurs when you do not try or learn from your experience. It is what you do and how you conduct yourself during the failure that creates future success. Thomas Edison failed over 1,000 times before finding a material that would illuminate the light bulb. Look at positive failures as steps on the road of success. Prepare for the expected and unexpected. If everything went as planned life would be so much easier. We cannot always change or alter things that are out of our control but we can prepare and plan for some of these obstacles. Let us use taking a class at MCC as an example. Below are habits to help college students be more successful. Introduce yourself to the instructor and observe their personality, teaching style, and class requirements. Go to their office hours, talk to the professor after class, and email questions about things you do not understand. In the best case, they forge a two-way relationship with the professor. Make a friend in class. You can help each other if you miss a lecture or need help understanding a concept. Understand the class syllabus which provides grading, testing and assignment information. Try to read ahead if possible and plan for activities in your life that may interfere with your class assignments. Planning and anticipating those things will enable you to do your work before it is due or work with the instructor for a solution. Attend Class…higher grades are directly correlated to high attendance. Sit in front or as close to the instructor as possible. Listen and engage your mind within the topic of the lecture. Actively try to understand the information being presented. Schedule study time. Plan ahead so your study time can be schedule just like a job or activity. Do not just think study time will happen. Get involved within the college. Campus clubs and groups bring similar people together to share activities. These will build both friendships and provide possible networking connections for the future. Set Priorities, college is a balancing act between going to classes, doing the homework, having a social life, and, for many students, holding down a job. Actions speak loader than words …your priorities will be articulated by how much time is spent on each activity. Control your emotions and look for solutions. You may do poorly on an assignment or disagree with your professor. Be professional and approach any problem with a positive attitude. Do not blame the instructor but ask for assistance, how to improve, or ways to improve the situation. Continue... 1 ConƟnuaƟon of Life is a Success Do not be afraid to seek assistance. Establish a support group in life and for important activities. Everyone has limitations but recognizing them and finding help is the best way to overcome. The college has some amazing resources for students success that include: Math Empowerment Zone: Free math help for any student in any math class provided by MCC instructors.

Here are a few things to keep in mind this winter: Officer Gatica has been with the Mott Community College since September 2010 where he was assigned to work at the Southern Lakes Branch Center. He was recently assigned to work at the Northern Tier Center winter semester 2012. 1.) Be sure you’ve refreshed yourself on the dos and don’ts of skid control and take the time to be cautious even in parking lots. You may fully believe that you can easily handle a skid but when the slick hits the fan, so to speak, you’ll want to be very sure your reflexive response is quick and appropriate. Their work schedules are (Monday-Friday) 7:30 am3:30 pm and 3:00 pm - 9:30 pm and his office is located in Room 109 across the hall of the Computer Lab. 2.) Remember the reality of reduced traction during snowy, slippery weather and stay alert for sharp turns and curvy roads. Migel Gatica, is a certified police officer with 24 years of Law Enforcement experience. He retired from the Flint Police Department in June 2009. If you have any questions or issues please, feel free to contact us at (810) 232-4339 or Room 109. 4.) How’s the tread on your tires? And also check your wiper blades. 5.) Remember that snow banks are tempting for sledding kids. If you see a pack of minilugers, don’t assume that they’ll be smart enough to avoid taking the street side route down the pile that could send them right into your path. 6.) Don’t assume that other drivers are prepared to deal with slippery road surfaces appropriately. They very likely aren’t...you’ve seen the accidents! Keep your distance as much as possible when driving gets slick. 3.) Don’t assume that you’ll be able to stop within a normal distance when approaching that stop sign. Plan ahead and test your braking ability in slippery weather, well before the stop sign.
