Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali
 "The Metamorphosis of  Narcissus" 

  1. Describe what you see?
  2. What is the feeling/mood of the painting?
  3. What are your thoughts about Dali, hiss paintings and surrealism? 
  • I see clouds, a lake, stones.
  • The mood seems to be dangerous.
  • I think Dali was a very confuse man. His paintings are confusing, I see what he is trying to project his viewers with his paintings.

Student Success Statement

                                                          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 that if you practice doing the right things then it will become a habit and your conscience will be clean.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she 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 knew I could find refuge in the Student Success Program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefit, 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 self-value.”

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 loved to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”
She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but she 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.

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 too 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 years 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, and 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 chances for outstanding success now and later.
