| View in browser Success Simplified Focus Mode \| Don’t Just Start, Finish Strong As we enter week four or five of the semester, this is your moment to lean in, lock in, and remind yourself why you started. Whether this is your first semester or one of many, staying focused and goal-oriented is key to completing what you set out to do. Don’t wait until things feel overwhelming, ask for help early. That’s not weakness, it’s wisdom. Set time to visit with your instructors, connect with a Student Success Coach, or get connected with the many resources we offer at Texarkana College. From free tutoring and Student Success Workshops to the Food Pantry, Care Closet, and T-Line passes, we are here to help you move forward, not just academically, but in all areas of your college experience. As Dr. Maya Angelou once said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Asking for help and embracing support is part of the process of doing better and being better. You don’t have to do this alone. I want to hear from you. The first twenty-five students who e-mail at lee.williams@texarkancollege.edu with one NEW thing they have learned this semester will receive FREE TC Student Success Swag. Remember! Stay focused, stay grounded, and stay committed to your goals. We’re here to help you cross the finish line.   All the Best, Lee Williams III Executive Director Student Success \| Retention \| TRIO-EOC First-Generation Mixer Highlights 🎉 Big energy, new connections, and lots of laughs.
