ARC Student Tip 3

Aaron Graham is a sophmore at Stetson University who is a member of the Hatter's Basketball team. Being on a sport's team takes up alot of time, meaning one has to be more careful about scheduling in study time. Not only because it's important but its also a requirement to stay on the team, also Stetson prides itself on having a very intelligent athletic department. Aaron's tip is to always take responsibility for your own grades. It's not because you're on a team that your grades suffer but because you don't put in the same effort as you do everyday at practice.
