Chapter 3: From Single Mother to Sucessful Student by Danielle Barbuto

In this chapter, Danielle Barbuto gives very helpful advice on how to be a successful college student, with a part-time job who is raising a 15 month year old baby on her own. Although most of her advice is directed towards single mothers and people who have learning disabilities, there are still many helpful tips that the average person attending college can take from this. One example of this is when she states “you have to make sure you are organized at home, at work, at school, and even in your car.” this is very helpful tip for anyone because if you are not organized you can feel very overwhelmed, and the less stress that people have, the better they can focus on their present task. Another helpful advice that she gave was when she wrote “Label everything and find a safe spot to keep your papers.” this advices is very helpful to anyone because labeling your work can help you stay organized and even help you finish your work at a faster rate. These two advices can apply to everyone whether you are college with a learning disability or not.
