This work has value for me (Relevance/Purpose), because it gives me a opportunity to start my life in a new direction. It gives me a purpose to want more out of life then I did five years ago. Being at DCCC has started to help me create a better mindset for me when it comes to learning. I’m reading more. I’m able to ask questions without being afraid of being wrong. I’m opening up to listening more with a close mouth. I gotten a lot better with completing my homework assignments by making them more relevant to my life and not just letting them pass by or turned in late. My purpose at DCCC is to learn bottom line. I didn’t really give myself a chance in high school. I allowed everything that wasn’t important distract me from what was and that was my education. Now, that I have children I look at education differently. I’m more willing and wanting to learn. Failure is not in my vocabulary success is. So, my purpose in life is to do my very best and not just for me , but my beautiful children. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/publications/Noncognitive%20Report.pdf
