Student Success Statement

“Success is dependent on effort”

-Sophocles, Greek dramatist

My opinion about this statement is that success depends on effort. When you put a lot of effort on things you will receive success and there will probably be no obstacles. It’s always better to put a lot of effort into things. Always. Always.

Develop good study habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college education 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 full-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 guides lines 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 day are most alert- there are morning people and night owls – and try to schedule your studying accordingly

·        Think about whether you do better for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions

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

Alex Linares

Reflection: Choosing the right is always the right thing to do because good things happen to good people. Bad things will always happen to bad people! If you do something good to someone one day, life will repay the favor. One day. But never choose the right to benefit from, choose the right because it’s the right thing to do!

10 Time Management Tips for Student

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing your notes everyday 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 you are only available at certain times of a day and not 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’d supposed to be doing is not productive, and increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.

You can’t do anything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

Habit 7 Part 2

Habits 7: Sharpen the Saw

1) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do something wrong, you conscience will pick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass—it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

2) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit need spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thought, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary of journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise make a man, healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.     2. Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. The each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk”

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either 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 teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get the better at living the other habits, especially at thinking  win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form a V formation 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 the 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, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his own or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

“ So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in-group,” we lose sight of the things that are far  more important”

Sean Covey

I agree with this quote because we all try to be a part of something, but we always want more. We want to be the best at something or the main part of something. We get so caught up in the moment that we lose track of what is more important than what you want.

Habit 5

5. Seek first to understand and then be understood !

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communications skill there is: active listening.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s Its because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are- unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much care. Listen with your eyes, hearts, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen to to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand then to be understood.--- Listen.

7 Habits Part 4

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 atmosphere 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 are 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 or one of the alternatives is how 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 serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-win or no deal.

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 also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things deal with things:

Important or not important, urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: things that are Important and urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are not important but urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and not urgent

1.     Important And Urgent	2.   Important but not Urgent
3.    Not important but are Urgent	4.  Not Important and Urgent

 Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, dong 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

Habit 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 statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eye on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized that achievements for your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind.  Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize one 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-which you earned it with perfect honesty.

“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is-‘form good habits and become their slaves.’ ”

--Og Mandino

I believe this is very true. A person’s habits decide many things for them. They also open and close doors. Good habits almost always open doors to great opportunities while bad ones shut and lock them away. For you to succeed you need good habits that allow you to shine and be noticed. For me my habit of always practicing as much as i can led me to play on all star lacrosse teams.

“Keep your eyes on the prize”

By anon

I agree with statement because if you make a goal and you keep your eyes on the goal/prize, it’ll help you not to quit. For example, when kids think school is boring and dumb, other kids think to themselves “ if I do good in school, later in life I won’t have to worry about my next paycheck”. This example shows that those who keep their eye on the prize which not having to worry about life in the future will do anything they can to reach that goal. Others who don’t keep their eyes on the prize will have a hard time in life.
