However, it is the attitude that students adopt at this point that can “make” or “break” their academic career.Īccording to Skip Downing (2008), students’ general attitude toward a given situation tends to fall into one of two general categories: a Victim or a Creator (see Table 4-1). After a few weeks or months, students might begin to have some doubts about their ability to succeed, and that is completely natural. Students typically begin college with an optimistic view of their ability to succeed beyond some of the normal apprehension regarding what college will be like. Ultimately, you have a choice to manage that decision responsibly, which in part requires that right attitude toward college if you are to be successful in the end.
A key point for you, as a student, to understand is that for whatever the reason, you have made a choice to be in college. Students can choose which college to attend, what to major in while in college, what professors to take, and what career path they want to follow after college. In high school, students are required to attend school-it’s the law.
