Student Success Statement

“Everyone is their architect of their own learning.”

-Claudius

Reflection

We make decisions that shape our lives. It may become challenging to make some decisions for life. Most of us want the best for ourse4lves but don't always make the right choices. One makes decisions and those decisions determine the outlook of our lives. When one receives bad grades, it is not because someone else wanted to give that person that bad grade but it was himself who decided upon that. He may have made bad decisions such as choosing not to study, which lead to the bad outcome. We choose what way our life goes, and we cannot put the blame on anyone else. That is the reason why it is very important to make wise decisions, because it may have a greater impact than imagined.

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Student Success Statement

“To be great – concentrate.”

-Orson Swett Marden

Reflection

Everyone has a different definition for greatness. For most of us, we wish to be great. It isn’t always easy to become great. It takes hard work, and many obstacles get it the way. The way to reach greatness is to stay focus and concentrate. This is a great quote that truly expresses the idea to achieve greatness. One should concentrate on what it is that they want. When concentrated they shouldn’t let anything distract them from their goal, and is more likely to then reach it.

“Education is a marathon – not a sprint”

-Anon

Reflection

I truly believe this is a great quote and I strongly agree with it. In a marathon one has to keep a fast but steady pace. If you try to sprint in a marathon, you won’t get so far. It is very similar to education. One cannot get an education with only one day of studying all day. It takes years and you learn a bit at a time.

“Gold medals don’t make champions… hard work does.”

-Anon

Reflection

 Having heard this quote multiple times, it always motivates me to work harder. I definitely agree with this quote. A gold metal does not mean that a person is a champion. A gold metal does not define a person. A person has to work hard to be great. Once they have work hard they are champions because they deserve it. A metal is an award for that hard work.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-Liane Cordes

Reflection

It does not matter how smart one may be or the countless opportunities one is given that will expose their potential. Effort takes you way farther than any strength. What is intelligence good for it you are not challenged into improving and doing your part by putting effort? It is only when one puts effort into everything they do is when they can realize their true potential.  An example of this would be that one may be the smartest kid in a high school campus but if they don’t constantly put effort into school they won’t ever know what their potential is and won’t get very far. It is a good brain thrown to waste.

Take Control of Homework Part 1

Take Control of Homework

So It Doesn’t Control You

Part 1

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.

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tips 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 certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tips 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 the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in like, about their values, goals, and how they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal, or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Strt by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One pre or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school- that you will receive your diploma honestly and with dignity- that you earned it with perfect honesty.
