‘Tis the set of the sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But every mind there openeth,

A way and a way away,

A high soul climbs the high way,

And the low soul gropes the low,

And in between on the misty flats, the rest drift to and fro.

But to every man there openeth,

A high way and a low

And Every mind decideth,

The way his soul shall go

One ship sails east,

And another west,

By the self-same winds that blow,

‘Tis the set of sails

And not the gales,

That tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life,

‘tis the set of soul,

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

 

The power of study groups

Part 2

The benefits of study groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: reinforce note-taking. If your AP biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or capacity for memorization.

Come more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone.

Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each persons work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one and other. Socialize. Its more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because its more fun, you spend more time studying!!!!

Walk the talk

This video made me feel good about myself it relief me about all the stress people have been putting on me and the song relaxes me it keeps me calm and not thinking about bad stuff. Also this makes me realize what I have been going through these past couple of years.

 

Student success statement

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

Albert A. Montapert

Well I agree with this guy because whatever I choose to do and the choices I make when I am about to do those things all made me realize that I could never go back and fix those mistakes and it sucks because the more I think about it the more it hurts me not to tell anyone what I have done and I haven’t even tried to go back and fix those wrongdoings.

 

How to take on college studying

Part 3

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·      Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·      Break up difficult assignments  into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·      Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·      Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions that is unclear.

·      Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·      Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

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.

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.
