Student Success Statement

“So often in your quest to me more popular and to be part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

-Sean Covey

Reflection: This quote means that when you want to become someone or something you forget about all the thing you do to become an in-group. That is not okay for someone that wants to go to college and fulfill their dreams don’t want to become an in-group, also that you should not do what others do, or try to be an other person, because it means that you have jealousy, and its call Identification, and its should not matter to you what others do, or think, or say, matter what you matter do what you want to do with your own life, and i can sure you that you will find success!.

Habit 1: Be proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility of her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their achievement of their duties, their responsibilities, their obligation. Choosing to do what is write is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey the exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

Student Success statement
"you make your own habits and your habits make you"
Anon
reflection; this quote means that habits can be made by your own decision, for example, if you like to play a sport and you want it to be your habit let it be, or if you like a school class for example, mathematics or science, let it be because it is useful, and let others create or make their habits.

Successful Students

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students. Minimize classroom distraction that interferes with learning.      
  Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptation of inactive classroom experience and distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know they chose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. if you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? push your hot buttons, is there something else you should be doing with your ti Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn
6… take good notes   Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. the more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn and less time it will take because you wont have to include some deciphering time, also. the whole purpose of taking notesis to use them, and use them often. the more you use them the more you improve.

Study for Multiple Exams

Part 1

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test on Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for Mondays test on Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my tests on the second half of Friday and part on Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Mondays test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests.

My overall study method: I try to break up over several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all nighter. how ive overcome an initial bad grade; if i received a low grade i probably knew it was coming because i didn’t prepare a property or i didn’t use the right study habit for that class. i usually try to go over what i did wrong and sometime discuss whith the teacher what i can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest i do for studying for the next exam.

Student Success Statement
"there is no set path, just follow your heart"
anon 

Reflection;this quote means that there is no way for you to follow unless you heart feels you should choose the right path, or you feel that you should take the right step, but other wise if you let other people decide and make your own decision, than its a wrong because other should worry about themselves, just like you worry about your own good.

Work together

Part 3

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. It’s not bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that’s needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write thing down and have good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good luck!

Work together

Part 2

English, math, foreign language: For math, all I can say is to do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and into the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

Work together

Part 1

I can and will work as part of a team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I have ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like,  here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or agents something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. i put so much effort into this paper. it ended up being just under 12 but it was full on information. i turned it in and when it back a week or so later. i had received a+ of my callege career. all my hard work paid off because i got the grade i deserved. i was really happy and proud of myself.

You can succeed everyday

Part 2

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or reaches that relate specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write thing that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in team projects: personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. however, when it is required to work in a group usually i try to lead. i like taking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t really care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try  to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group with people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

You can succeed every day

 

Part 1

 

My overall study method: I broke up studying over several days and over the course of the evening day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on night before test. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do it as well as if I was rested.

 

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test on paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that know the material. However, If I do not get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test Is coming I study even more so that I wont be surprised by the questions.

Student success statement

“I shall pass through this life but one. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again.”

Reflection- this means that whenever you had taken a wrong step that lead you to an unpredictable way, for example having friends who use drugs, alcohol, or like to harm others, this is an example of failure and this quote reflects upon those who have fail, but those who fail and got back up and fight are the ones who will succeed and for me it stands for never make the same mistake twice because it can be worst and it is not worth it.


 

Effective study methods

 

Part 3

 

How I deal with multiple projects/test: when I have more than one test and project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

Effective study methods

 

Part 2

 

My time management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands and hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the days and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan my weeks and my days. If I know I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. i plan ahead, especially if i am going to be on the road for volleyball. when i am on the road, i bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. missing class is killer to make up from but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not  being in classes.
