Student Success Statement

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
"THE FIRST LAW OF SUCCESS... IS CONCENTRATION; TO BEND ALL THE ENERGIES TO ONE POINT, AND TO GO DIRECTLY TO THAT POINT, LOOKING NEITHER TO THE RIGHT NOR THE LEFT."
William Mathews
I AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T YOUR SELF TO THAT ONE GOAL AND MAKE UP EXCUSES LIKE YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THEN YOU WON'T MAKE IT. IF YOU KNOW YOUR KNOW YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUT YOU STILL GIVE IT YOUR 100%, IT INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING IT.

Question
As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they each relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions.
·         Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.
·         Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own questions
Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.
Read
Read one section of the chapter at any time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.
Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs, illustrations- these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

Success Statement

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."
Robert Kiyoski

Reflection:
I agree with this statement because if you don't act now, you won't do anything in life. In my case, i would love to be a musician one day, but what's the point if I don't do anything about it and just sit around and wait for the opportunity to come. That is not the way it works. You must go knocking on opportunity's door and go get what you want!

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
Ayn Rand

NEVER
" There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to evil"
Choosing evil over the good is horrible. Nothing good ever comes from it. Even the word evil sounds creepy  and bad for a reason and that's a warning to everybody that nothing form it comes good.

Tip 5: Keep a list of Questions
When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. Of not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve 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 extend. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefor will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything  else.
The philosopher Sir 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 pen.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement 
" When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.
This rule is even more important inc life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself tot he task of becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."
John Wooden.
I agree with this statement because becoming the best you can be will not only benefit you in what you want to do, but it will set an example for those who want to do the same but have doubts about themselves.

Tips 3-4
Tip 3: Do the Research
Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.
Tips4: Use a dictionary
Make  sure you have a access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t.  Rather than simply skipping  over the words you don’t know, take time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.
