Dear Next Year Students,

Everybody is scared during their first semester of college. You don’t know what to expect and your really clueless. You really want to do well and don’t get distracted and keep a high GPA for your first semester. One thing I can tell you is that college is nothing like high school where the teacher will chase after you for your work. You have to be on your work and you can’t be lazy and think that you can’t slack or be careless on your work because you won’t get a good grade. In English and effective speaking it involves a lot of writing and presentations. In English you will have to write six papers which two are the midterm and final exam. The midterm and final exams are basically the same format you have to follow. You will have to write a summary for the first part and the second part you have to write an essay comparing the essay question to the story and your life. The papers you will write will be based off a location you will choose and you will use that location to write your papers for English and your speeches for Effective speaking. Make sure you choose a location in Brooklyn that has a lot of information on it because it will benefit you a lot in writing your essays and speeches. Take the advantage of the doing all the HW’s that involves you in writing a summary because it will really help you a lot in passing the class. For effective speaking make sure you follow the speech outline and time yourself saying your speeches and you should receive a good grade in the course. For the midterm and final exam for speech make sure you study for the exams because you may think it’s all common sense but it’s really not it’s a lot of information that you have to know. So remember don’t be lazy, be on your work, and don’t get distracted by anyone.

Sincerely ,

Brandon Jaspaul
