When asked for the secret of her academic success, Gleason shrugged and, for once, appeared lost for an answer. During her four years at Tri-State, Gleason has lived at home, which has allowed her to maintain a routine. The young woman admitted that she traded continuity for some fun. After several minutes of discussing her college career, Gleason's philosophy toward her studies emerged. If the top student were compared to an athlete, she could be described as someone who believes in fundamentals.

She listed good attendance and note taking as two additional ingredients. The young woman certainly didn't have all the answers when she began at Tri-State. In her freshman year, Gleason didn't even know which course of study to pursue. Only after spending time in general studies did she discover an aptitude and affinity for computers. Her chosen field promises to pay dividends.
