Community College Beliefs
Community college, The worst fear for some and the best experience for others. Many people think that community college is a bad place to attend. They think they might not be good enough to be in a 4 year university. They seem to take that negativity throughout, their whole college experience. In the article, The Seven False Beliefs: Addressing the psychosocial Underpreparedness of the community College Student by Miranda, It stated that many community college students don’t start with the greatest attitude and their beliefs can also have a negative impact on them. The student already have a lot going on for example, work, financial aid, social life. All of this is a lot to handle for one person and sometimes that can create a big stress.
The student has to be able to be committed to college pretty much full time. That can be enough for someone to think negatively without even trying. Having this beliefs while definitely lead to harder times full of stress and even negative thoughts. Students will want to drop from school because they think it's not worth their time if they are just wasting their time there These are all excuses because they feel that this is like high school where they just don't care about you, but that’s not true most professors know what the student has to go through, because they once had that same issue too. The professor should be able to open up to the students and let them know on the first day that they are here for them. One of the big issues is also not using the resources they give student at their own community college. Not knowing counselor, tutors, eve advisor can also guide you and answer any questions as well. In conclusion, I feel that the seven false beliefs is an eye opening for any community college student that feels negative feelings about their first semester. Having to work hard for anything seems more rewarding than thinking of ways to take the easiest way out. You can overcome these false beliefs if they really put their mind into thinking positive, because just trying can go a long way and it could even created a better future for you.
