"Congratulations to Isabel Driver, who's been named our "Student of the Week!"

Q1) What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face?
A1) I am motivated by the idea of future success in the working world and the possibility of higher education based on how well I succeed now. I am motivated by the hope I have for a brighter and better future. Despite issues with stress, time management, and issues outside of classes and work, I am determined to have everything done on time to the best of my ability. 

Q2) What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?
A2) To future students, I advise you watch how much time you spend in procrastination and keep up with your work. If you feel stressed, take a short break, get something to drink and give yourself time to think about it. Do not wait until the last minute to get work done. Yes, you can do it in that short time, but the amount of stress that comes with that last minute work is not worth it. Also, ask for help. I guarantee you, that if you ask for help with the work, your professors will try to explain it to the best of their ability.
