THE BVR STUDENT
Milly Hedgepeth ’31 presented: Comes to class on time with necessary materials and a ready-to-learn attitude.
I think coming to class on time with necessary materials and a ready to learn attitude is a good skill to have as a student. This skill is important because you could miss something that happened in class, and you could miss out on an opportunity to learn something new. To me, coming to class with a ready-to-learn attitude means I am energetic and happy to be there. It also helps when I am well-rested in the morning.
