STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT



STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
“You will never regret doing whats right.”
                                                      -Anon
I CAN AGREE WITH THE QUOTE BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING BY CHOOSING THE RIGHT YOU FEEL GOOD BUT WHEN YOU CHEAT OR SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL THE GUILT. TO ME I CAN’T LIE AND DECIEVE SOMEONE BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN MY NATURE.I RATHER DO SOMETHING THAT IS RIGHT.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story
In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, but I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study and I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road to a lot, but I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

I AGREE WITH THE QUOTE BECAUSE IF YOU DO SOMETHING BAD YOU WILL FEEL BAD BUT IF YOU DO SOMETHING GOOD YOU WILL FEEL GOOD. YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL GOOD IF YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT. NEVER CHOOSE THE WRONG BECAUSE YOU WILL FEEL LOUSY.

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product to sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group.
English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language.
Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, remember that you should want to learn.

"There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience"
                                                        -French Proverb


I can agree with the quote because when you have a clear conscience you do not have any stress or problems to worry about. I rather have a clear conscience than a guilty one. I do not want to be stressing over any problems that I have been having.

How  I’ve overcome an initial bad grade when receiving a bad grade I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder it’s hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect from your teachers.
My strategies for written assignments start early and make sure that you have it proofread also with written assignments having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due
How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communications is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t realize it.

Most alcohol and drug abuse starts in the teens

                       Most alcohol and drug abuse starts in the teens
REFLECTION:
  • In my opinion people are over using these items and it is constantly happening. Teens are starting to become more reckless and cause more trouble. Teens think it makes you popular when you use these dumb things but its is actually taking away your life.Teens should wait until they get older and then decide if what they are doing is right.\
  • The article said that 80% of teens already have tried alcohol. That 15 Percent are addicted to these drugs. To me these kids are just throwing away their life. It's not the parents fault it's the kids fault for not choosing the right path and by falling for the temptations of the drugs.

Academic Success Story Heather A.’s
In high school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.
My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with other. My test study Method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power point and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.
My time management secret: One of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test. How I deal with multiple projects/test: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.
