    Making the Most

    As I’m sure most students are aware of by now, KC is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. As students during this special year, we are experiencing history in the making. Being a part of such a historical year is something we can all look back on years from now and remember fondly, but only if we choose to act now and make the best of the time we have here.

    A wide variety of types of college students make up the student body at KC. Everyone is here to learn, but our intentions and directions vary. Some may be returning to college to earn an additional degree, some may be interested in learning a new trade and some may be entering college for the first time.

    Regardless of why we are here, here we are. Making the best of the time you have at KC is essential to getting the most out of your college experience. Get involved on campus. There is at least one organization for every interest group represented at KC. If you spend all of your time studying and never step outside of the classroom, you may be missing out on a great opportunity to know great people who share your same interests.

    Take advantage of special events and participate. Go to football games and support the football team, band, cheerleaders and Rangerettes. Get pumped for pep rallies and participate in the games and activities planned.

    Support those who spend so much time to prepare for these events by showing up and participating. When you look back at KC yearbook and newspaper photos years from now, wouldn’t you like to see yourself captured forever enjoying these activities?

    When attending class at KC each student is given the opportunity to learn from top notch instructors. Take advantage of their knowledge and gain your own by listening intently and following instructions.KC instructors do their best each and every day to teach every student the necessary skills for success in their subject.

    When we as students donít attend class, sleep in class or just flat out donít pay attention, we are doing our instructors a disservice. You’re only here a short amount of time, and you did come here to learn, right? So pay attention and listen to the wealth of knowledge that each KC instructor has to offer.

    We could all learn a lot from those who walked this campus before us. In last week’s issue, current employees who are also former students shared their favorite KC memories. These alumni had some amazing stories to tell. From fun photography
    foul-ups to meeting soul mates, each event touched the life of that instructor or staff member.

    If you read these, I hope you took the time to reflect upon what you are doing to make the most of your time at KC. If you didnít read them, pick up a copy of last
    week’s Flare and read away! You may be surprised to find these employee’s stories not unlike your own KC memories in the making.

    Think about it … Are you living in every moment, or are you letting these days slip away wishing you were somewhere else?
