Dear upcoming freshmen,

When entering college a person does not know what to expect, and I am sure there were teachers in high school who told you that college is nothing like high school and they were right. Please believe me when I say that college will not be your worse enemy but rather the deadlines of the assignments, and the reason why I saw this is because when a teacher told me that I had a week to do a project I tended to just slack off and keep telling myself that I would do it at the last minute, and most of the time I ended up doing a poor job at it and sometimes I did not even do it at all. I would like to recommend that if you do not know the surroundings of where the New York City College Of Technology is located in, then it would be a good idea to explore the area since that will be your second project in the English 1101 class and it will probably be the most important project of the entire semester. The reason I am placing such an importance to this project is because this project is not only going to be used for the rest of the semester in the English 1101 class but it is also going to be used in the Effective Speaking class since both of those classes are going to cooperate between each other. Another thing I would like to recommend is that you whenever you have the chance try to practice writing summaries since you are going to be expected to do a few of those, another reason why I am saying this is because the exams are going to be based on writing summaries on the articles that are given to you. Having said all of that I wish you all good luck and remember to take college seriously.
