Being Perfectly Flawed

Being a successful college student is partially due to your acknowledgement that you need work.  In other words, you aren't perfect.  If you were and you knew everything, you wouldn't need college, right?  You could just skip over all the classes, quizzes, exams, and papers and go straight to work after high school.

I suspect that for most of your career aspirations, that isn't the case.  So be okay if the first draft of every paper isn't A worthy and when you get less than a 4.0 on any quiz or exam.  You are in college to grow into the person you will be.  Otherwise, there is no point in being in college.  That applied to many generations of college graduates before you and many students who will come after you.  Most importantly, in this moment it also applies to you.

We all have areas of growth and college can help you address those areas.  The only catch is that you have to be willing to do the work.  I know I am.  Are you?
