Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, almost all schools have had to transition to online class mid semester. It was a challenging time for all of us, creating unforeseen difficulties for students and teachers who were not prepared for this transition. However, schools still had the obligation to remodel their teaching methods in order to provide a safe environment for students and staff and complete the semester as planned. As time passes on things seem to be getting worse, forcing schools to adapt to a new virtual structure of online teaching for the remaining of the year. As a result, I would like to share some tips that will help people succeed in preparing themselves for this new environment and allow them to succeed in passing all their classes this upcoming semester.

1. Be Responsible for Your Own Success

There is always some uncertainty when it comes to why one should go to college. Some would say “Because my parents told me to”, or “All my friends go, so I go” or “I need to get a degree to get a good job”. But these should not be what motivates us to look for a higher level of education. Believing in oneself and one’s abilities to succeed will drive them to succeeding and creating the future they desire. Not being shackled by doubt and uncertainty of the choices you make will enable you to find the right career.
