Student Success Statement

“Success is dependent on effort.”

-Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Reflection:

What I think about this quote is Principle. Yes that is what Is 3 words. Principle, honor, and Justice. If you depend on becoming successful you will do it with honor and passion. That is right way you will do it. For example If you’re doing a test you do it correctly an efficiently.

How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

·         The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space—usually your dorm room, you apartment or the library.

·         For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

·         When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·         Have a routine for where and when you study.

·         Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

·         Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

·         Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

·         Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

·         Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Summary of Jenna Huff Wins the Extreme ”Sportsmanship” award

I think that this was a perfect example of Choosing the Right. Jenna Huff would’ve won that but no she decided to do what’s right at that very moment; Right Place, Right Time. A man once said “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, but how you play the game. And so she did, she was a hero that day; she played the game the right way. This is what people these days need to do,” be good sportsmanship”.

Part 1

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skill.

Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·         Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

·         Consider what time of day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·         Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

Student Success Statement

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

Alex Linares

Reflection:

There is nothing you can reflect upon when you make the right decision. For Ex: If you have a choice to choose either; science project that you need to do and it’s due the next day or your friends invite you to the movies, what do you choose? Well the majority of the people choose to go to the movies with friends. That’s why we have so many people choosing the wrong but it doesn’t bring you anywhere does it. The Science Project is important because your assignments are worth something. I’m here Choosing the Right ever since I learned that priority. And it has work trust me. . .

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at a certain time of day and not to expect a response at another time.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.

You can’t do everything at once. Establish that importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable. 

Choose the Right!!

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

ANON

Reflection:

What I think about this quote is that the bad will never end. There’s never going to be a perfect world with everyone choosing The Right. There’s always had to be people who decide to do wrong. Sometimes it is better to be alone than in bad company.
