Group: Incoming college freshmen go into college universities to receive the same grades they did in high school. High school grades and standardized test scores are suppose to be indicators of how students will perform when placed in a college environment, but are not always accurate. First year students are commonly categorized into two groups the “thrivers” and “divers”, thrivers are the students who were predicted to do not as well and proved those predictions wrong, while the divers were students predicted to do well and did worse. Student’s mindsets, cultural differences, and personality traits came into play when determining their grades. Our viewpoint is that the transition from high school to college is not easy and some students may succumb to pressure. In order to succeed here at CSUMB we must be able to grow based on feedback from our professors, utilize campus resources, and embrace that we are first generation college students of low income backgrounds with odds stacked against us. If we persevere, stay on top of our classes, and keep positive growth mindsets we will be thrivers.
