Go see your professors!

Day 437 of 1000

Kelly is taking some very hard classes this semester.  From before they started college I frequently reminded the kids they needed to visit their professors often.  There is more reason to do that than for instruction and socialization with the instructor.  Face to face visits were always motivational for me, especially when I was not doing so well in a class.  Somehow, I was more invested in doing well after a professor visit than if I just hung back and tried to get it on my own.  That advise paid of BIG time with Kelly today.  I hope she continues to make use of this essential academic behavior.

    I took the time to go see my Eng. professor a few weeks ago. She was surprisingly helpful. Glad I took your advice. Thanks.

    Excellent Hunter. It was great to see you on Sunday and hear you are doing so well in your classes. I am excited to see what you take next semester!

    As for the spiritual lesson–I wish I would have thought of that. It really is true. Face-to-face is always best. I need to think about that more and see if I can find some scripture.

    Troy, you are the champion of that approach. When you were getting your undergraduate degree, it was always super to here which new department or government agency or professor or tutor you had made arrangements to meet. I think part of the reason you have been so successful at school is because you are so good at that.
