ATTENDAll classes
ASKThe right questions
TRYYour best always
DOYour job.
It’s a Process NOT a Project
There is no magic set of instructions to make you successful
Creativity is key, and creativity takes trial and error… lots of error.
Passing a class, doesn’t mean its over. For a DIFD major, the learning is just beginning.
You will fail. Failure doesn’t mean you’re done. It means you learned something and will try again, and again if needed.
