I am an 11th grader who attends Linda Marquez High School. I am a hard worker at school. I try to be as involved as I can, such as being in part of school clubs. I am also in the school's varsity basketball team. I love basketball, Thai tea, and Italian food. I hope to attend UCLA after graduating high school. I wish to have a successful career as a doctor. I am a very optimistic person. I was blessed with the best people in the world, which i am lucky to call my family and friends. I wish nothing but the best for myself, and i am excited for the future!

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

We Humans are innate learners, as learning is the cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stems from learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e., the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to learn how to protect ourselves from danger.) we can learn just out of curiosity (our natural inquisitive behavior.) we can learn because we want to reach some social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) we can learn because we want to reach some social status (approval of others is potent stimuli to learn.) we can learn simply because we love to learn new things everyday. There are plenty of reasons to learn and you may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
