Hey USG! 

The neat thing about going to the Universities at Shady Grove is that it provides students the opportunity to work and gain valuable life experience while in school. I can definitely say that this factor has helped in my journey to landing a job that I have dreamed of. Many of my classmates and others that I met on campus were or are students that have jobs, families, and other responsibilities. Having this kind of discipline, even for a little while, will do wonders for a student’s work ethic…and it shows in the working world. I can personally attest to the positive outcomes and feedback I have received, or witnessed by other students, about how well USG students can organize and prioritize.  

We are doing well! So when the going gets tough, just think about how much better you will feel knowing that your hard work will pay off. You are doing something most others can’t. Many students that go away to university have a completely different experience…which isn’t negative, or positive…but it’s all in what they make it. However, in today’s society it is very common to see complacency. This leads to disregarding opportunities that could help a student in the long run; i.e. Finding a job in their field of study, moving out, building a resumè. 

So while I am winding down my journey here at USG, and the light at the end of the tunnel is near, I can confidently say that if you keep up with your discipline here at USG, it will pay off! 
Keep up the good work!
