I learned..

On my way to another meeting, I saw this student studying. It must have been for a very, very important exam because I know reading on a moving vehicle is not good. It got me thinking. To some, she might’ve appeared to be very studious. But to me, she was just cramming.

What I’m getting at is not that I’m a very negative person.. (nope.. I try to be very positive each day! Thank you very much). I just wanted to send a message to all the students out there that cramming really doesn’t work. I know because I’ve been there.

When I was in College, I would prepare for an exam by creating a “study guide” that I’d hope to study an hour before the exam (because I’m normally an hour early at school). And it never worked.. because once I get to school.. we’d sit down on this bench and one by one my classmates would come.. and we’d talk and talk and talk and talk.. and soon I’d forget that I was supposed to study my “study guide”.

To those fortunate enough to still be in school, study every night. Cramming is only for the genius ones. To the rest of us (or you), take the time to study. Be calm during exams…

I promise that being diligent will bless you in the end.
