Advice for writers who are struggling with assignments:
Breathe, and don’t push your brain too hard. Writing is a beautiful thing, so I feel it should come from the heart -- just believe in yourself and focus your preparation. - Joya Oglesby, SMC freshman
Allow the environment around you to be your motivation. From the smallest thing to the biggest thing, allow it to drive you. - Corey Jones, SMC freshman
