Part 1

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demand of a college class is 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 10 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                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              t the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

•       Consider what time of 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.

Organizing your life

Managing your time well is an important element of success – especially if you are a student. If you set priorities that fir your needs and lifestyle, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals. Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.

Tip 1: Make a To- Do list every day

Put things that are important on the top and do them first. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.

Tip 2: Use spare minutes wisely

When you are commuting on the bus or train, use the time to get some reading done.

Tip 3: It’s okay to say No

If your friends ask you to go to a movie on Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it is okay to say no. Keep your short and long term priorities in mind.

Tip 4: Find the right time

You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it late at night.

Student Success statement

“Alone we can do so little Together we can do so much”

-Helen Keller

Reflection.

 There is only so much that someone can accomplish when they try to do everything by themselves. In order to achieve the maximum results working together is a must. In a discussion to solve a problem one person might be extremely knowledgeable and might be able to think up a good solution. However chances are that if other people also take part in this creation of a solution, then the overall result will be better. This is because people are different, and it is their different way of thinking that allows for two people with a different mindset to create the best possible solution. Learn to work together and your chances of success will increase.

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than they 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 teen to value differences and to better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you will 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: Learn to celebrate differences.

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

                                  Choose The Right!!!

Student Success Statement

“So often, in your quest to be more popular and be part of the “in group,” We lose sight of things that are far more important.”

This quote means that when you’re with friends that are popular that doesn’t choose the right, they lose their sight. If you choose the right like be a group of friends that doesn’t choose the right then you don’t lose sight. 

7 habits of highly effective teens habit 4

4. Think win-win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an astrosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once I won’t step on you but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet.

Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking win-win is the good feeling it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking win-win for one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
Win- Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win- Win or no deal.
                                       Choose the Right!!!

“You cannot do wrong and feel right it is impossible.”

This reflection is right because you cannot have both feelings at the same time. Some people say that its possible because people do the wrong thing and feel right about it. A lot of people have their own opinion sbout this quote I don’t why but they do. That’s what I think about this quote.

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. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: Things that are Important and Urgent

Quadrant 2: Things those are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are Not Important but are Urgent

Quadrant 4: Things those are not important and not urgent

1. Important & 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.

Habits 2

Habit 2: Begin with the end in Mind

If teens aren't clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what 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 or statement which will act as a road map and direct guide to 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 achieving of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize 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 integrity—that you earned it with perfect honesty.

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 her 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 assignments, 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, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

                             7 habits of highly successful teens

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 his 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 decision. 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 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 by following a 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 a 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 highly habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them;

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

An elemental 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!
