Student Success Statement

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

-Gilbert Arland

What I think this quote means is that if you want good things to happen in your life you have to make it happen. An example is if you are doing badly in school you can’t be expecting to get good grades. If you want something you have to earn it.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that 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 you 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. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If that is who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good luck!

My overall study method: I break up studying for several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on the night before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if take the test tired the next day I will not do as well if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.
