Briche''s College Experience

My experience at the Summer Scholars Program was great. Being with a group of people headed in the same direction of excellence is a wonderful thing. It keeps you focused on your work. A lot of us have different classes so we can't always do our homework together but we can still study. Our goal is to do well so when one falls behind we have to help them try to get back on track. A big obstacle we all face is time management. At the beginning of the program we set our curfew to 12 o'clock. We had the option of going to sleep early or staying up with our friends. Most of us went to sleep after 12. I came to realize you will be worthless in the morning if you don't get rest for class. Most of our teachers grade on participation in class, so needless to say we need to go to bed early. The residence assistance helped out a lot. I appreciate them because they really told us the truth about college life. We began to see that as time progressed. They were always around if we had any questions about anything, they were really laid back. They were all young so they knew what we liked an didn't like for the most part. I think they are the true leaders. The best experience i had was the scavenger hunt. It was so hectic trying to get the clues the fastest. Everybody was trying to help out the best they could. That was the best team building activity we could have had. The only bad thing was is that we couln't determine a winner because some of the groups cheated, but it didn't matter who won we had a great time.
