Be Your Best Student

Hi - I'm Kelley!

As a college instructor who works with students online, in hybrid format, and in person, I am all too familiar with students who have so much potential but can't see it in themselves! It is for these students that I created www.beyourbeststudent.com where I give all kinds of free information and school tips to students and also offer my extended services for a monthly fee. While some students are able to take and receive that information from family, friends, and instructors, other students benefit greatly from third party assistance. It is my pleasure to help as many students as I can see just how amazing and gifted we all are!

If you are or know a student who could use a hand gaining their footing, building their confidence, and learning how truly amazing they are, please come by the website and sign up for a free meet and greet where we can talk about how my services may help you or your student to thrive! I look forward to getting to know you!

Sabotage Part 3: Grades

Grades are a big part of college life. You need a minimum GPA to stay enrolled in a college or university, to be able to transfer schools, to enroll in specialty programs (nursing, physical therapy school, graduate school, etc.), and you definitely need a minimum GPA to keep your parents happy if they’re helping foot the bill for college. So if there’s something you might consider not sabotaging, grades are a good place to start. Earning grades is a tough, long process, but sabotaging your grades is a quick and easy task from which recovery can be difficult if not impossible. Sabotaging your grades can show up in many forms. But let’s start by taking a look at your priorities. Making your education a priority in your life is critical to your success as a student, however I strongly suggest that education is not your top priority. Your health and well-being should come first over anything else and when you think about it it makes complete sense – you can’t do your best work in scho...

Sabotage of the Mind

Last week we talked about wrangling our chaotic brain who we often let run rampant through our lives like a spoiled, screaming toddler, and we’re going to revisit that a bit today. When we let our brains run the show without adult supervision (us being conscious of what it’s saying and controlling the narrative), we typically end up with a mangled sense of self: we imagine small problems or incidents to be life-changing encounters, we see ourselves as less-than, and/or we feel like we’re always on the losing team in life. This is no way to live – and this is a hard way to live! Letting your child-brain control your story is a miserable, chaotic life and letting it happen knowingly is definitely self-sabotage. Why would we do this – what sense does it make to believe these lies that only make you feel badly about yourself and your situation? Sometimes we just aren’t aware that our brain is telling stories, and in that case the only remedy is to start listening and pay attention ...

How Can I Get an A in Your Class?

The Huffington Post published an article a few years back giving college students some ideas about things they might want to ask their professors and also topics from which they probably want to steer clear. Today’s question that you might want to ask your instructor: how can I get an A in your class? There are so many things to talk about when answering this question, so I’ll be as brief as possible while trying to hit all the highlights! · Show up! Coming to class is the first step in success, and if you’re in an online class, this means logging in at least 4-5 times per week and participating in the discussion forums. There is so much to be gained by simply showing up! · Be prepared! You must have the essentials: paper, pencil, computer, internet, textbook. None of these is optional. If aren’t going to have the required course materials, don’t bother signing up for classes...
