STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

"SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON EFFORT."
                                                -SOPHOCLES, GREEK DRAMATIST
YOU CAN ONLY HAVE SUCCESS IF YOU ACTUALLY TRY TO EARN IT NOT IF YOU WANT IT. IF YOU GIVE EFFORT TO TRY AND GET SUCCESS OUT OF IT. IT MIGHT HAPPEN BUT IF YOU JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT SUCCEEDING IN LIFE YOU WILL FAIL AND NOT EARN SUCCESS AND BE A FAILURE YOUR WHOLE LIFE. ALWAYS PUT EFFORT IN WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT AND WILL HELP YOU LATER IN LIFE.

CHOOSE WHERE TO STUDY

WHERE YOU SHOULD STUDY DEPENDS ON TWO FACTORS: THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH YOU ARE BEST ABLE TO CONCENTRATE AND THE TYPE OF WORK YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO.

·         THE BEST PLACES TO STUDY HAVE GOOD LIGHT, A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE AND ENOUGH DESK SPACE—USUALLY YOUR DORM ROOM, YOUR APARTMENT OT LIBRARY.

·         FOR COMPLETING PROBLEM SETS OR BRAINSTORMING POSSIBLE TEST QUESTIONS, YOU MAY WANT TO STUDY WITH A GROUP OR AT LEAST IN A SETTING WHERE FELLOW STUDENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR DISCUSSION.

·         WHEN YOU ARE READING BOOK CHAPTERS OR WORKING ON A RESEARCH PAPER, YOU ARE PROBABLY BETTER OFF IN A LESS SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WINS AN AWARD

WHAT DID SHE DO?

 JENNA HUFF WINS THE EXTREME "SPORTSMANSHIP" AWARD FROM U.S. OLYMPIC COMMITTEE.


SHE HELPED A GIRL THAT WAS IN PAIN INSTEAD OF WINNING A RACE THAT WAS NOT AS IMPORTANT THAN TRULY SEEING WHAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND PLUS SHE EVEN LET THE OTHER GIRL WIN THE RACE BECAUSE SHE KNEW IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE HELPED HER BECAUSE WINNING WOULD BE ALL THAT I WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT NOT HELPING SOMEONE THAT I AM COMPETING WITH.

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 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 GUIDELINES 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 TH EVENINGS AND ON THE WEEKENDS.
• CONSIDER WHAT TIME OF DAY YOU ARE MOST ALERT--THERE ARE MORNING PEOPLE AND NIGHT OWLS--AND TRY TO SCHEDULE YOUR STUDYING ACCORDINGLY.
• THINK ABOUT WHETHER YOU DO BETTER STUDYING FOR A FEW HOURS AT A TIME OR SITTING DOWN FOR MARATHON SESSIONS.

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

            3) Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick 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 directions 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.

            4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or 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.

Loyalty

The video about Mallory and Liz in Western Oregon helping out Sarah from Central Washington showed that they where loyal to the game and they cared for one another. To them the score really did not matter helping out someone was a great reward for them. To me  the game would have been more important even though someone is hurt from my team or the opposite team.

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life-body, mind, heart, and soul

1)      Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2)      Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then 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 go better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations 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 this: Learn 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 or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

                     Habit 5

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood

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

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, 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 and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood-LISTEN.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Habit 4

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 ad tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and want them 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 is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you 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 and 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 first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matter most. Putting first things first deals with things that are: Important or not important, urgent or not 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 not urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are Not Important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and NOT urgent

1.       Important & urgent	2.       Important but not urgent
3.       Not important but are urgent	4.       Not important and not urgent

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, doing 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: 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 opinion 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 eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of 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 or 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-that you earned it with perfect honesty.

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Be proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the balls in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters, they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the inactive.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In this book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives,” teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well y following parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning—but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable Internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with Internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment-sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor-especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all-of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience-this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course! ....is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!
