"The Metamorphosis of Narcissus"

• I see a hand made of of a rock type material reaching for something.
• The feeling of the painting is dull and seems like life as been sucked out of it.

I think Salvador Dali is an amazing artist and reflects many different things in his paintings.

Student Success Statement

"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."

-Robert E. Lee

I think this means the more you practice doing what is right, the better the feeling will get. Its gives a motivation to always choose the right.

Part 5

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with determination and a mindset that I would not fail with God leading me.”

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I know I could find refuge in the Student Success Program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefits, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value.”

"Swans Reflecting Elephants"

• I see swans sitting by a water pond and the water reflects them looking as elephants.
• The feeling of the picture seems like it sends a positive vibe and has some sort of message to it.

Part 4

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said. “For years, I allowed someone I love to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

• Ludwig Van Beethoven
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 
• George Fredric Handel
• Leonardo Da Vinci 
• William Shakespeare 

Salvador Dali

"The Persistence of Memory"

• I see droopy clocks that seem drowned of their power.
• The mood of the painting is rather depressing.

Part 3

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 grade point average and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admissions policy.

It took two false starts before the 22-year-old Thomasville resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the value of herself. She thought back to when she was only 18 year old but felt “overwhelmed by life.” She had just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living a life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard, but not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.
