From Academy Award-nominated director Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising spotlights the unforgettable stories of nine girls living in the developing world, striving beyond circumstance and overcoming nearly insurmountable odds to achieve their dreams.

The Forgetting Curve, Yes It’s a Thing.

Imagine what would happen if you didn’t take notes during class. How much would you remember weeks later when it’s time to take a test? Research shows that taking notes and REVIEWING them within a day (you must review them for this to work) increases a student’s ability to recall what they’d been taught 75% better than students who did not review their notes following class. Hermann Ebbinghaus, who developed the Forgetting Curve, determined that you only recall 58% of what you learned within 20 minutes of learning it, after one hour, only 44%, one day, 33% and after a month, only 21%. If, however, you take and review your notes after each class—or at least sometime before you go to bed, you will increase your ability to recall what you’ve learned. What’s the take away? Review all your notes as soon as possible. Then, build from there. Continue to review all your notes once a week adding the previous week’s notes to your stack. You’ll be amazed at what you retain. Repetition and review is key to remembering.

How long have you been a student at Lakeland?
This is my second semester at Lakeland. I started attending in the Fall semester of 2014

What is your major? Are you seeking a degree?
I am still undecided between finance and marketing. Right now, I am just pursuing my associate of arts degree.

Do you plan to transfer to a four-year college/university? If so, which one?
I plan to transfer to Bowling Green State University. Go Falcons!

Are you involved in any clubs or organizations? Do you hold an officer position?
I am currently the president of the Hispanic Union. I will also be playing soccer for Lakeland next fall.

Do you have a job? Where? What are your job duties?
I am currently a tax accounting intern at Avery Dennison.

What are your personal interests/hobbies?
In my free time, I am either outside playing soccer or baseball, or sitting on my couch watching episodes of Breaking Bad.

Do you have children (names & ages)? Brothers/sisters? Pets (names)?
I am the oldest of 5. 3 sisters and 1 brother. I also have a pet ball python named Chavo.

Anything about your personal or home life you would like to share?
During my senior year in high school, I started my own business, Onyx LLC, and entered in a national entrepreneurship competition in which I took second place. My business consisted of making duct tape wallets.

Please share a favorite quote, your thoughts about life, or some other inspirational message.
“The most dangerous risk of all is to spend your life not doing what you want, on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” It’s important to find something that you’re truly passionate about and make a living out of it. Don’t settle, because if you’re not happy with it now, you sure won’t be when you’re looking back wishing you did things differently.

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Spring Forward, Fall Back"

At 2am on the second Sunday in March we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of standard time ("spring forward"). We "fall back" at 2am on the first Sunday in November by setting our clocks back one hour and thus returning to standard time.

Irish-American immigrants brought St. Patrick's Day to the U.S. The first civic and public celebration of St. Patricks' Day took place in Boston in 1737.

Traditionally, those of Irish ancestry who are caught not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day are pinched!

March Trivia Question:
A dog named Terry was paid $125 a week for his role in The Wizard of Oz, playing what character (and what name?)

The first student to e-mail the Office of Student Engagement & Leadership at getinvolved@lakelandcc.edu with the correct answer from their Lakeland e-mail account will win a $10 Breakers gift certificate!

Congratulations to last month's winner, Gabrielle Marino. The correct answer: Purple, green, and gold.
