student success statement

"what's right isn't always popular: what's popular isn't always right"
-Howard Cosell

Reflection:
i think this statement is trying to say not all the popular things are always the good things to be doing. they always end up being the wrong things like for example:
the fashion there popular showing skin your belly and everything right but who are you trying to impress with showing off your skin nobody. always smoking they say it makes you popular and stuff but who does it affect nobody else but you. but you should always thing about the things you gonna do if you should fallow the popular way that's bad or the popular way that's go.

7. … understand the actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feeling and emotions which in turn can affect learning.
            If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feeling, you will began to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take note, and ask question. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.
8. …talk   about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most directs path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-terms memory. You really don’t “know” materials until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, reading, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, and organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peer. “talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

High School Graduation- Pleasure or pain

Reflection:
 i thing its better to have a graduation with pleasure than with pain because all the students get to remember that day as a happy day and not the day as the worst one of there life. its better for all the students remember what hard they work with there high school life than to try to forget about it for life. all the students should be rewarded for all the good and hard work they had pit through there high school. all of them would be so happy if no bad thing happen during that ceremony.

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distraction that interferes with learning.
Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollar, but willingly seek the worst seat foe their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no.4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptation of inactive classroom experiences and distraction of all the people between them and their instructors? Of course, we know they chose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then are you wasting your time? Push your hot buttons; is there something else you should be doing with your time?
6. … take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understanding and organized and review them often.
Why put something into your notes that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still a fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more   you learn then, the less you’ll have to include some deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.

" The Time Is Always Right To Do What Is Right"

reflection:
 i think this statement is trying to say when you do right its always the right time to be doing it like for example  doing your home work at 4 in the  afternoon or staying up till 12 at midnight its still the right time because your are doing what's go you are doing your homework a bad example is staying up at 12 drinking smoking or out clubbing in the week when the next day you have school that's the wrong thing and the wrong time to be doing.
The right time is to always do good thing !!

3. …ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something go after it. Get the answer now or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.
4. …learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.
Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher: if you have learned your material the instructor they are not an enemy, you share the same interests the same goals – in short your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up losing season. Be a team player!

"I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what your feel bad after"
-Ernesto Hemingway
Reflection:

what he is trying to say its when you doing bad things they all end up going back to you and you feel bad about it at the end of the day. Also what is done bad you will have it in you till you say it out to someone and you will feel better. if you do the good thing you will always feel good about them no matter what you will know you did good and that you tried your best on doing the good choices in your life. many people may talk about you and say mean thing oh well let them say anything they want but just know you did good and not worry about what they think because who's is the one that's going to end up loosing its them only not you.


Successful Students
1-2
Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes ans behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students. . .
1.     . .are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies accept responsibility for their own education and the different between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grades you earn the glory or deserve the blame you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either potion costs one class period. However, the former methods will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.
2.     …have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals ans are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspiration and life’s desires.

Ask yourself these questions: what am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answers to these questions represent you “HOT BUTTONS” and are, without a doubt the most important factors in your success as a college students. If your educational goals are truly yours, not someone else’s they will motivate a vital and positive academic attitude. If you are familiar with what these hot buttons represent and refer to them   often, especially when you tire of being a student, nothing can stop you: if you aren’t and don’t, everything can and will!

" My Strength Is As The Strength Of Ten Because My Heart Is Pure"
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Reflection:

This statement is trying to say that people have many strengths you just have to show it deep inside and find it. Also, many people give up on them self because they think the work its to hard that they just end up giving up they have to try harder to find it.and t]what this person is saying he has the strength that other people don't use he has it with him and his hard is empty hat he does not need nobody with him next to him cheering him up hes one his own.

Study for Multiple Exams
Part 3
English, math, foreign language tips: practice—especially foreign language. It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. but if you are in your room and look at objects and try to say them in language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send a simple text to a friend think about it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help.
 Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college. And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason-use them

Study for Multiple Exams
Part 1
How to study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, If I have a test on Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other test.
My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get bogged down of I try to pull an all nighters.
How I’ve overcame an initial bad grade: if I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly or I didn’t use the right study habits for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometimes discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam.

Work Together part 2



Work Together
Part 2
English, math, foreign language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problem assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry: if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the least second.

WORK TOGETHER
PART 1
I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper.  It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they like; here you go, just write about something. I had argued in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

Tiger Woods Big Mistake.

Summary:
Tiger Woods its backstabber to his brother because he wouldn't help him out when he mostly needed him in his life. he ignored his half brother.
 reflection:
I think this is bad what Tiger Woods its doing on ignoring his brother n not answering his calls and also not informing about his self . the famous golfer would not talk to his family since 2006 they didn't hear about his beside the TV. Tiger Woods its doing bad because when he is in the same shoes as his half brother nobody in the family would not help him at all they would do what he did to his half brother. Kevin brother of Tiger was diagnosed with the disease in 2009 and has not been able to work prompting to reach Tiger for help. Kevin feels worse when Tiger does not answer his or reply back to him.

You Can Succeed Every Day part 1



You Can Succeed Every Day
Part 1
My overall study methods: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big test but I never stay up much later than normal before test. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically I do not stress out about my grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However if I do get a bad grade or one lower than I expected I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.
