"As students make mistakes, figure out what doesn't work for them, and practice the things that do work - they become more confident. It's so wonderful and rewarding to watch a young person discover what they're truly capable of and feel good about it!"
"
Seeing my students graduate and or achieve their goals is most rewarding. It is challenging for me to see students try really hard and struggle academically. I try to encourage these students to see the value in hard work
because effort is never wasted.
"
 .
"The most rewarding aspect of being a coach is getting to know my students and helping them at this critical moment in their lives; I learn so much from each of them. The most challenging aspect is wanting to help a student but not being able to track them down!
"
Ms. Fenise
"
The most rewarding aspect of being a Success Coach is seeing my students reach their goals, especially knowing the personal battles they fought through to achieve them. The most challenging is working with scholars who don't see
the greatness that I see in them.
"
Mr. Dennis
"
Most Rewarding: Seeing the faces of students when they accomplish their goals.
Most Challenging: The struggle with not being able to handle every situation for a student
!"
Ms. Courtney
"I most appreciate the relationships I've built with my students; I find it rewarding that my students trust me enough to open up and have no doubts that I believe in them wholeheartedly. What I find challenging is stretching myself such that I can be the best Coach possible to all of my students; I don't want anyone to feel slighted."
Mr. Peter
"As a success coach, I find that participating in extremely open and honest conversations to be the most rewarding. It feels great to level with a student and talk about issues that are meaningful to them. The most challenging aspect of being a coach is trying to figure out how I can be as helpful as possible, especially when the student sometimes doesn't know exactly what that is."
Ms. Destiney
"
Being a Success Coach is purposeful. It allows me to serve others, and it challenges me to go beyond my comfort zones.

Here are some tips to finish the semester STRONG!
Prepare for finals:
* Create a study guide for each class by compiling notes and assignments and identifying important concepts.
* Master topics you don't fully understand by going to professors' office hours and seeking help from tutors or friends.
Plan for the summer:
* Continue your search for summer internships or jobs. Finalize your resume; search on
indeed.com
and other job sites; and network with people who might know of potential jobs or internships.
* Register for any summer classes you plan to take.
Look ahead to the Fall and beyond:

Talent Corner
We are highlighting Neicer Marquez this month.
Neicer graduated from BCC in 2018 and is majoring in Photography at Montgomery College. To see more of his awesome photos check out his website at:
https://neicermarquez.art/
.
We asked Neicer a few questions about his talent; here are his responses:
"
I started to take pictures in 2017. At first I was doing it just for my family, just to have fun. When I started doing street photography I fell in love with it. Every single picture I take on the street has a story to tell and they are all connected to me.
I use a DSLR camera. It's a Nikon D5600 with a 50mm lens f1.4.

I am planning to continue to take pictures in the future. As I said, I'm in love with this digital art.
I want to work for any newspaper for example the Washington Post. After I gain some more experience, I want to start my own business."
Neicer your work is fantastic and we look forward to seeing more!
