Student Success Statement 54

Student Success Statement

“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.”

-Robert Kiyosaki

What I think this quote means is that the actions you do today will affect your future. For example, let’s say you do something bad to a teacher today. Tomorrow you will most likely get kicked out of class for the bad actions you did the day before. That’s why you should always choose the right so that your future will be bright.

Improve Your Study Skills

SQ3R stands for:

Survey

Question

Read

Recite

Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills.

In college, you'll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQ3R helps you make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

    ·       Read the title, headings, and subheadings.

    ·       Notice words that are italicized or bold

    ·       Look at the charts, graphs, maps and other visual material.

    ·       Read captions.

    ·       Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

Never

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

-Ayn Rand

(Novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

What I think this quote means is that you can’t blame others for choosing the wrong. You can either choose the right or choose the wrong and you’re the one that decides what to do.

Tips 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. If 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 extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore 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 a pen.

Student Success Statement 52

Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the 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

What I think this quote means is that we should all try our best on everything. If we continue trying our best we will eventually become a lot better it. An example would be baseball. If you practice and give your all you will end up being a good baseball player.
