For others, the decision to come to college was easy. Some have come straight from high school and others are well into their careers with a need for higher education. Whatever the path, several thousand students will walk through the doors here at Pierce College. At first, college is hard. It may not be like anything you have experienced before; there are deadlines, workloads and projects that vary throughout the entire academic year. Each one carries its own challenge and professors always seem to think their assignment is the most important. Unexpected questions bring additional stress. What will you do when you are late to class? What will happen if you miss an assignment? There are techniques you will learn through the experience that will make education easier. Visit classrooms before the start of the quarter. Check the map when needed. Ask questions, even if they are the same ones. Use the people around you, they will become your network. A week of classes will pass by. Then two. Then a full quarter and what was once hard is now manageable with the help of professors and tutors who were more than happy to assist on the academic journey. And, yes, there will be times when an assignment gets missed. Getting to class on time may not always happen - if at all. These things are just a small portion of the college experience. Get back up and keep going. Keep your eye on the prize - that of walking across the stage at graduation. A college experience will happen once in a lifetime. Make it a memorable one. 2 / piercepioneernews.com Editorial Manager Nick Nelson nnelson@pierce.ctc.edu Production Manager Carl Vincent Carallas ccarallas@pierce.ctc.edu Web Manager Alyssa Wilkins awilkins@pierce.ctc.edu Multimedia Coordinator Beatrix Cendana bcendana@pierce.ctc.edu Staff FIND VICTORIA: This year, Victoria will make an appearance in each of our cover photos.
