How Does the Fort Steliacoom President and Dean of Student Success Feel About a Certain Study Hack? Matthew Campbell, Pierce College Fort Steilacoom President, states that he does not recommend listening to catchy music while studying, “especially not music you want to sing along to”. But the Dean of student success, James Lett, disagrees, “I am a musical learner” said Lett, “I can’t study in the quiet, I need constant noise”. Eveyone studies in their own way. Inspire These two very important figures at Pierce College gave conflicting answers, while Lett and Campbell may not agree, they are still amazing people to seek guidance from. Besides music, Lett is also really adamant about reminding yourself why you’re working towards your goal. “Anytime I’m going through some type of challenge, I always have my goal written down…sometimes you get kind of frustrated…I always had reminders telling me, ‘this is why I’m up at midnight writing a paper.” by Ruby Garcia Inspirational Movies by Kyla Reese What does the word inspire mean to you? Is it a person, a feeling, or something that you can explain? The definition of Inspiration, according to the Oxford Languages, is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. I however would argue that Inspiration cannot be defined in one such way; the Collins Dictionary defines an inspiration as someone and something that makes you or others want to do or achieve something. The thing that 7both definitions have in common is the positive tone. • Forrest Gump- Inspires you to channel a sense of optimism through times of adversity, and to always appreciate the simple things in life. • Soul Surfer-Never give up on our dreams, and don’t let your setbacks keep you from fulfilling your dreams. • Matilda- An inspiring film that teaches us to stand up for ourselves and those in need. • Hustle- Focuses on the power of perseverance when overcoming physical and psychological obstacles. • Rocky- Believe in ourselves, to never give up on our dreams, and to fight for what we believe in.
