Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement

“Take care of yourself and everything  

             else will fall into place.”

              Coach David Diamont

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Coach David is that if we take care of our self then everything else will fall into place. It is like if you choose the right then you will get rewarded and you are going to be good within yourself. If you choose the wrong then you will regret what you did, get in trouble, and have consequences for your actions.

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goal, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be personal or business technique that can be leant. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

“Be Wise – Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

 



When people use drug they don’t know what they are doing:

Ø People who use drugs they have problems and they use them to forget their problems but they will forget for a little while but once they are not drugged they wouldn’t forget about their problems.

Ø They feel cool if they start to do drugs.

Ø They may have friends who do drugs and they will tell them if they want some.

Ø Drugs are very harmful because you can over dose and die.

Ø Don’t let people influenced you to do drugs because there will be days that you will not have money to buy drugs and you are going to start to robbed money to buy drugs.

Ø Your parents/ family members will be worried because they don’t know where you are.

Ø You start to do badly at school and your grades come down from A’s to FAIL’S.

So if you are doing drugs you should STOPbecause they are harmful and you can get sick and then die and if you are not using drugs then keep it up and never use drugs!

Alcohol has a harmful effect and you can even die for drinking beer, wine and other drinks:

v When people start to drink alcohol they get drunk and they don’t respect their family members.

v They start drinking and they stop going to work because they are drunk or they drink at work and they get caught and they are fired.

v Some people who start to drink is because they are depressed or just to forget problems.

v After they drink then they have a headache and they start to throw up.

v  Whenever you drink alcohol Never Drive because you can cause an accident and kill innocent people. If a police man sees you or stops you and you are drunk you can get a ticket.

v Drinking can cause you to get sick and then die.

So choose the right and don’t use drugs or alcohol!!

   Highly Successful Students

                                  (Part 11)

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be felling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students (Part 10)


  Acquiring the Habits of

  Highly Successful Students

                              (Part 10)

Ø      They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulates their learning skills.

Ø      They don’t apply the simple criteria of success-fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

Ø      They know how to handle groups.

Ø      Finally, they work with passion.

 

Others chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and other areas of knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link.
