Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Consider how hard habits are to break. Change can and does occur. All of us will have life experiences that shake us and change us. Some may be major. Some may be minor—-but through all this our essence generally remains unchanged. Ask you parents how much you have changed in your behavior—-and how much you have remained the same. Hard work can accomplish a lot. If your primary and secondary school experiences were less than optimal, you may arrive at college with a variety of deficits. Remedial courses, tutoring, good professors may all help you fill in these gaps. You may also find yourself in college, clarifying who you are and where you want to go in life—but at the base you are still you in many ways.
