PRIORITIES |
|
The University Community as well as the department recognizes the need for each student to set his or her own goals. What you need to understand is that we here at ISU have also set goals and have priorities which we know to be tried and true and we are obligated to pass that information on to you.  1. You are attending ISU, therefore, we surmise that you are here FIRST and foremost for your education. If you wanted to make work your first priority you could have stayed at home, worked and taken classes part-time. It is not a realistic expectation to think you will be able to get classes around your work schedule. If you need/want to work while a student don't loose sight of the fact that you are here for an education and you should find a job that will be flexible around your class schedule.2. Since your education is your first priority, your lifestyle needs to "take care of business" for class attendance and assignments first. If you get your business taken care of then is the time to socialize. We know that everyone needs a little rest and relaxation--just don't loose track of what you are here to do.3. In all you do--keep it legal!! Don't risk your career or your education by taking stupid chances. Make good sound choices, be a leader not a follower. Friends who push you to do things you don't want to do or make you feel less than adequate because you would rather not participate are NOT FRIENDS. Try choosing friends who hold your same values and care about you enough to respect your right to make your own choices. |
