Student success statement

“Success is dependent on effort”

-         Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Well this statement is true because if  you don’t put enough effort into all your classes then in the next one all your grades will be failures and that is not what you want to happen you would want to put all the effort you can to succeed in every thing you can and none of this can come true if you just take some time and put some effort into whatever it is you are trying to accomplish.

1.   One example can be when I checked my grade for chemistry she told me I have an F in her class and once she did I put in so much effort to get my grade up and when I did she told me you put in so much effort to get your grade up and she told me good job.

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, your 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Part 1

Develop good study habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you have 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 a 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 skills.

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 the 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.

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

Anon

Well what this means is that it is better to be by yourself than to be with a crowed that just does nothing but drugs that’s bad for you and it makes you look bad in front of people that don’t do drugs and always choose the right.

One example can be when I tried cocaine for the first time I was with a big crowed but first I was with a friend who never done such non sense and I left him alone to go and do this with a big crowed.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Helen Keller

What she is trying to get through our heads is that if you work alone on a group project the chances of you getting it done quick are very slim and it would be different if you work on the project with more than just yourself that way you can interact with people you have never met and it gives you more ideas to the project because you have every ones point of view.

One example can be when I was fixing my stepdads car and I seen a lot of my friends that were saying if I needed help to get it done quick so we can all kick back and relax but instead I chose to tell them that I can do it by myself and it took forever to fix until I regretted it and I told them to help.

habit 6

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It’s impossible”

Ezra T. Benson

Well I agree with this because every time I do something wrong I never feel right about it because it’s the things I have done that make me always feel bad about what I did. Also I agree with her because I know for a fact that nine out of ten times that all those who did wrong are all going to feel very bad about what he or she has done wrong.

One example can be when I had gotten searched  by Mr.c  and I was going to lie to him and tell him I don’t have anything on me but the fact that he was going to still search me and he got all my stuff that I was not supposed to have and in the end I felt really bad because that was the second time  I had gotten searched.

Habit 3

Habit 3: put first things first

Habit three is about will and will not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent, lets look at four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: things that are not important and urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent

1.  Important and urgent	2.  Important but not urgent
3.  Not important but are urgent	4.not important and not urgent

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1.  Control of your life

2.  Balance

3.  High performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.

“whether I fail or succeed shall no mans doing but my own. I am the force.”

Elaine Maxwell

Well I really don’t get what this is trying to say but, if you want to hear what I think well here you go. I think this statement is trying to send me or us a message by telling us if we fail its no one else’s fault but your own self and as long as he or she lives on for you, your self have the force to change not fix but change your mistakes.

7 habits of highly successful teens habit 1

( by Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: be proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, great things will come to you. Be proactive and take initiative.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In this book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives,” teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well y following parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

…owns or has easy access to a computer with internet access and e-mail

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful In online learning-but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owing a computer with internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

…has basic computer skills and is willing and open to learning new ones

We said you don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning. However, there are some basic technical skills you should have mastered prior to enrolling in an online course.

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment-sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor-especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

“ It’s not where you live but how you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but how you play the game that counts.”

Mr. Haymore

I agree with you because it really should not matter were you live because for a fact nine out of ten times that person  does not have it as easy as we do if we live in the ghetto and for a fact that person does not have the things that he wished he had. Also it should not matter were and when you play the game because no matter what as long as everyone is having fun.

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all-of learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

… is comfortable and confident with written communication reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

… is willing to be a member of an online community

“Goodness is the only thing investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

This statement is so true because I have invested in things like weed and cocaine and crystal meth and so far it all failed by me getting caught with the wrong people at the wrong time and place so I can really agree with this guy that goodness will never fail you and to show that goodness will never fail you I have done good by not investing in such dumb things like that no more I have learned from my mistakes.

 

Successful students

10. successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An element truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non- students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten commandments for effective study skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
