Student Success Statement
“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”
-Davy Crockett
What this statement is saying is that you should go and do things that you know for sure are the right things to do. You first have to be certain that you are choosing the right, and once you are definitely sure, then you go on ahead and proceed with what you are going to do. An example would be that if someone offers you drugs you know that that is not right so you walk away. They may insist that you take some but you have to firmly respond that you don’t. They may want you to doubt yourself, but if you are certain that it’s wrong, then ignore them. They might call you names but it’s important that you know exactly what the right thing is in order for you to proceed.

Balancing High School and Part-time Work
Part 4
He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “For example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”

Student Success Statement
“To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice”
-Confucius
When someone is seeing right in front of them that what is being done is wrong and do not do a thing to stop it- that is being a coward. The worst thing you can do is, knowing that what you are doing or want to do is wrong and you have it in your conscious but you decide to ignore it and you go ahead and do the wrong thing—that is the worst cowardice out there. If you know that what you are doing is wrong then stop and say no, you have the power to say no, it is up to you to do what is right and show others and teach others about their cowardice behavior/action. Don’t be a by stander! Do something. Do what is right and don’t let yourself fall into wrong doing, for you will be in the cowardice side- the bad/wrong side!
http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4754435231646554&pid=1.7
An example of this would be cheating on a test, the scenario here is an important exam that you must pass—only thing is; you didn’t study! What do you do? You definitely DO NOT look over and cheat off of someone- why? Because you clearly and purely know that it is wrong and faulty, but if you go ahead and do it—you are the worst COWARD there can be!


Selecting Your Courses
Part 4
Social Studies
You can better understand local and world events that are happening not by studying the culture and history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:
·        .U.S History (two semesters)
·        .U.S Government (one semester)
·        .World History or Geography (one semester)
·        One additional semester in the above or other areas
Foreign Languages
Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.
Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

This man was at Seattle and he stole 30 bucks and he didn’t know if he should think fast or just take t the money.  He was getting the money like I think he was one who robbed. Yea he stole money and later after 6o years he stole again 30 bucks.      
Reflection
I think it’s wrong to be stealing because you never know like what he people who work there use the money for. You have to think twice before you do. He wasn’t; choosing the right and like maybe he thought like they will never know it’s me but then he will feel guilty at the end. Always choose the right because life is full of consequences and you could get in deep trouble. Learn right from wrong. Choose the right.

Habit 7
Part 2
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 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.
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 ehlps you focus and make good decisions.

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

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 door mate either. You care 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 better 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-Loose and Loose-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.

“What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s Popular isn’t always right”

Successful Students
7-8
7.       Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.
Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for 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 temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all people between them and their instructor? 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?
8.       …take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.
Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take because you won’t 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”


                                                                                    ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Successful students

3-4

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 your professor and helps your professor 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. Its 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 takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your 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 a losing season. Be a team player!!!

Student success statement
“I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after”
This statement means that if you choose to the right good things will come to you. 

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students…..
1.   …Are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibilities for their own education, and are active participants in it! Responsibilities mean control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, and you make the choice. Active classroom participants improve in grades without in cress in study time. You can sit there, act board, day dream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take note like someone in charge of their learning experience. Ether potion cost one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the letter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.
2.   … Have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations 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 
present here mean to me? Answer to these questions represents your “hot buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factor in your success as a college student. If you’re 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 tired of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren't and don't, everything can and will!

Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you”

Sarah’s Academic Success Story
Part 2
My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. Secret: I always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

There Is No Set Path Just Follow Your Heart


Work together
Part 3
Here are my words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it . It’s not a bad thing to not understand it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan your time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Asking for help is probably the biggest thing I can say thought. I f you don’t understand go to office hours or find a classmate that understand and is willing to help you if you try hard it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have try harder to fail than I try to succeed it’s something that is within me to succeed. If that not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find Good Luck!

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 his 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 were like here you goes just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to 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 fewer than 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in 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.

                 Effective study Methods
                              Part 3
How I deal with multiple projects/tests: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I I will study for test in the morning and the other in sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time often for it to sink in.
