Student Success Statement

“Obedience leads to true freedom”

James E. Faust

Reflection: I don’t agree with this statement. The main reason I don’t agree with this quote is that setting boundaries constricts us more. An example could be an artist. They don’t live by society’s rule about being successful. They live in the present and are way happier than any other working class person because nothing is holding them down.

The Secrets of

Successful Students

Part 2

     Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week.

     Successful Students Take Care Of Themselves

Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel good sitting in class, either.

Good food and a little exercise will clear your head!

Students who eat junk food in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out completely) and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. This means that they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class.

You just have to change a few habits to feel better.

·    Eat healthy foods,

·    start walking more,

·    ,

·    enroll in martial are classes,

·    challenge yourself to do sit-ups at night.

·     You’ll notice a change right away.

Secrets of Successful Students

Part 1

It’s a Matter of Taking Charge of Your Time and Destiny!

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful Students Control Their Calendars.

Successful don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them what assignments are due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments and schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives.

Successful Students Prioritize

Do you like to stay out late with friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

“Your name is a diamond; make sure it shines”

Sergio Tovallin

 

I think he is right since there might be others with the same name as you but you are unique so make sure others know your name. You should make a good name out of yourself with either a great profession or talent.

The “C” Student

Part 3

6. EFFORT: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort=bad results.

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response.

8. RESULTS:”C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.

Essential Test-Taking Advice

Try out these strategies while you’re still in high school, and by the time you get to college, you’ll be a test-taking expert.

Before the Test

1.          Eat well.

Studies show that you need good nutrition to concentrate and perform your best.

2.          Bring the right supplies.

Bring your pencils, erasers, pens, rulers, compasses, calculators or whatever else you need on a test day.

3.           Review the whole test before you start.

See how many sections and what types of questions are on the test. Determine how much time to allow for completing each section.

4.          Jot down your first thoughts.

During your first scan of the test, make quick notes about your thoughts. For example, you may want to outline your answers to written-response and essay questions right away.

5.          During the Test

Read the directions.

---

It is important that you follow the directions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

6.           Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

Identify key words.

This helps you focus on the main idea of challenging questions.

Rephrase difficult questions.

To understand questions better, rewrite them in your own words. Be careful not to change the meaning.

Organize your thoughts before you write.

Take time to organize your responses to short-answer and essay questions. You’ll reduce the time you need to revise.

Write neatly.

Be sure you don’t lose points on answers the teacher can’t read.

Use all the time you’re given.

If you finish early, don’t leave. Use the extra time to proofread and review your answers.

    The ship Costa Concordia hit a rock and fell on its side. When this happed Captain Francesco Schettino got a life boat and was the first person to leave the ship. Not only does that violate the law, but also an honor code. He got house arrest.

Reflection:

        This captain got what he deserved. It is against the law for a captain to be last when leaving a sinking ship for a reason; he should make sure everybody is out first. When he became a captain he signed up for all of it even if it could kill him. We are in a way a ship, if we do what’s right, we’ll have beautiful sails. When we don’t choose the right we’ll sink just like that ship.
