Student Success Statement

“Your Future is created by what you do today,

Not tomorrow”

-Robert Kiyosaki

Reflection

I believe that what this statement is trying to say is to take action now. Don’t tell yourself that you are going to do great in all your class and that you are going to study for that final test that is coming up, and then tell yourself that you will start tomorrow. If you think like that you will never get things done.

Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignment in several different books for several different courses at the same time. SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time efficiently. Here is how this strategy works.

Survey
Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·    Read the title, headings and subheadings.

·    Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·    Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

·    Read captions

·    Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

“There is no justification ever for choosing

 any part of what you know to be evil”

-Ayn Rand

(Novelist, Philosopher, Playwright, screenwriter)

Reflection

I agree with Ayn Rand in that there is no reason to do something evil. Many may say that the ends justify the means but I cannot agree with that. If that is the logic you have then think of a better solution for your problem. Evil will always be evil no matter what. Just don’t be evil choose the right!!!!

5 Tips for success

Tip 5

Tip 5: Keep a list of questions

When you feel confused about something you are reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they have read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2
Tip 1: Annotate
Be an active reading. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: Note the Author’s writing Style
Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s

5 Tips for Staying Motivated

3. Set attainable goals

If you are having trouble writing a 2-5 page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks,

4. Find social support networks

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be4 teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop you new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, and get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on High-impact Activities
The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that takes more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.
To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grade. For example even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create New Challenge
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’re done in the past, Think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Choose the Right!!!!!!!

Take Control of Homework

So it doesn’t control you

Part 2

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxious engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude at home towards home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you are having trouble learning.
