Student Success Statement

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

-Robert E. Lee

Reflection

I believe that this quote explains it all. It says it all in only two sentences. We have to do nothing other than choose the right. No matter what we have to choose the right. It may not be as easy at the beginning but as you start choosing the right, it becomes easier. The more you choose the right the easier it becomes. By choosing the right you get to enjoy from it. You will have a clear conscious. There will be nothing to worry about or anything that bothers you with a clear conscious. An example would be doing well in an exam without cheating. That exam may have helped you passed the class. You deserved it because you studied hard for it. But if you had cheated on the exam and passed the class because of cheating them your conscious would bother you every time you took a look at your grade because you would remember that it took cheating to get that grade and you don’t deserve it. You’ve chose the wrong. That is the reason we should always chose the right, to get good outcomes and have a healthy conscious.

Take Advantage of Any Free Time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IN ON A CARD.

Study with a Friend

Get together with a friend and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate Your Achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones, or doing something well.

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

-Davy Crockett

Reflection

I believe that this is very well said. If you believe that it is the correct thing to do then go ahead and do it. You have to make sure that it is correct before doing anything. Don’t go ahead and make an action unless you are sure that what you are going to do is correct. Once you are sure that what you are about to do is the correct then go ahead and do it, otherwise, don’t do it.

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much Weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Bet More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underling sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude towards home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Reflection

This quotes claims that character is much for important that intellect. One is most definitely identified by their character rather than how intelligent one is. We should take in consideration that character takes a huge part in our lives. Although it is important to expand our knowledge we can never forget to keep working on our character. Character lands above intellect. Having a great character may lead you farther than having great intellect.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·         Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·         Build study habits that are essential in college.

·         Prepare for our classes.

·         Get a sense of program.

·         Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the Mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

Know Where to Begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the Same Time Every Day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.
