Student Success Statement

“Success is dependent on effort.”

-          Sophocles, Greek dramatist

I think that what he meant was that if you put effort in something you will be successful. If you do not put effort into something then it won’t lead you to success. You have to put effort in order to be successful. For example if you want to succeed in school you must get good grades and have excellent behavior. You must put effort into your grades and your behavior in order to be successful in school. If you do not put effort in any of this, then you will have bad grades and you will not succeed in school.

10 High School Study Tips For Students

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 some 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 day.

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

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

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

Summary:
This video was about two girls, Jenna and Ded. These two girls where racing each other in a cross country competition. Which ever high school won the race would go to the state finals. Both of them had been racing a long side, but Ded was always a little bit ahead of Jenna. When they where near the finishing line, Ded broke her hip. When Jenna saw this, she helped her continue running. Jenna push Ded a little so that she could win the race. Jenna got disqualified from the race, but she was okay with it because she did what was right.
Reflection:
I think that what Jenna did was really nice and fair of her. She had the chance to win but she knew that in she left Ded that would have not been fair. She knew that the right thing to do was help her, and so she did. In the end she might have lost the competition but she won something more. Not only did she gain a friend but she got an award from the U.S. Olympic Committee. She did what was right and that led her to greater things.

Develop Good Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you 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 ful-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.

"A time I Persevered"

A time when I persevered was when I wanted to run a mile in less then 10 minutes. In order to do this I ran everyday. The first time I tried it, I did the mile in 11 minutes. So I continue practicing by the second time I did the mile in 9 minutes 45 seconds. I was proud of myself. This helped me realize that if I keep on trying and never give up, I can achieve anything I want.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

Alex Linares

What this quote means is that doing what is right is always the right thing to do. If you have a decision to make always do what is right. Choosing to do what is right will never bring you negative consequences this way you will not have to worry about the consequences. As long as you always do what is right, the decisions you take will only do you good. For example you have to make a decision between going out with your friends and staying home to study. The right thing to do would be to stay home and study. This way you will score good on your test and your parents will let you go out more often. The wrong thing to do is to go out with your friends. This will only bring you negative consequences. You will not score well on your test and your parents will not let you go out as often because of this.

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 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 youa re only available at certain times of the day and to no expect a response at other times.

Tip 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.
