“The thing that helped me the most throughout my academic career is time management. I feel that time management is the biggest part of my success because, after a long day of school and practice, I have to manage my time to make sure I can study or complete homework. Effective time management allows me to balance my social and academic involvement, while not becoming overwhelmed by the stressors of school. In addition to time management, the ability to stay on task and persevere through anything that I’m doing has helped me in my academics and my future career and life adventures. Overall, balancing time and multiple tasks is the best way you can persevere through your academic career.” — Ryan Foucalt, class of 2023
