Jocy.

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!

Student Success Satement


Student Success Statement

“Obedience leads to true freedom”

-James E. Faust

 

 

Reflection

I strongly disagree with this statement. If we truly had liberty then we wouldn’t have to obey to anyone. You do not have free will if you have to be obedient.

The Secrets of Successful Students

Part 2

Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and its not during finals week.

Successful Students Take Care of themselves Do you live on junk food and lay the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class, either.

Good food and a little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out completely) and work out in some way are likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their  lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert class.

You just have to change habits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, starts walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts class, or challenge yourself to do sit-ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.

Thank you, Grace Fleming, for your suggestions.

Secret to Successful Students (Part 1)


Secrets to Successful Students

Part 1

It’s a matter of taking charge of your time and destiny!

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes student excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and their tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful Students Control Their Calendars. Successful students don’t reply on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when tests dates are approaching. They make special dates in their calendars and keep track commitments and schedules. Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives.

Successful Students Prioritize

Do you like t stay out late with friends? Do you like to go to partiese? Do you likr to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

“Your name is a diamond; make sure it shines”

Sergio Tovalin

(HPHS2009)

WHEN YOU DO WRONG, YOUR NAME GETS DIRTY AND IT SHALL FOREVER BE DIRTY. CHOOSING THE RIGHT MAKES YOUR NAME SHINE BRIGHT BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!

6. EFFORT: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge . They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort=bad results.


7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formalted before they are expressed. Poor listening/ reading habits inhabit matching inquiry and response.


8.RESULTS: “c” students

Costa Concordia


Costa Concordia

       As the costa Concordia cruised by the Tuscany coast in Italy, it hit a rock. The cruiser was too close to the shore causing this disaster. As the people abandoned the ship, the captain went along with them. He jumped into a life boat as well, leaving many victims in the cruiser. he was then convicted for violating the law. The captain as then charged for causing the disaster and leaving the ship before everyone had evacuated. He was then put on house arrest.

Reflection

The captain obviously chose the wrong. This is a great example of not choosing the right. the captain left the cruiser before complete evacuation. Not only that but he is to blame for this disaster.

CURIOSITY: “c” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts. Immediate relevancy is often their singular test for involvement.

3.RETENTION: “C” students retain less information and for shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating learned information with previously acquired  knowledge.

They display short-term retention by relying on cramming sessions that focus on details, not concepts.

4.ATTITUDE: “c” students are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.

5.TALENT: “C” students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.
