Work together

I can and will 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 researcher paper. It was the longest I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also it was the first paper where they were like; here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing researcher or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 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 proud and happy for myself.

You Can Succeed Every Day

My overall study method: I break up studying over 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 night before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if l 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 grade 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 that 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.

Student Success Statement

“I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again.”

Reflection: I think this means is that you can only live once so therefore do the things that are right and choose the right.

Effective Study Methods                                                                   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 will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different 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 more often for it to sink in.

                                                                                            My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study, it works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If l know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if l am going to be on the road for volleyball. When l am on the road, I bring my book and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

My three week vacation

My three week vacation 

What i did the first week is i went to my dads for five days. He took me to the mall to buy new clothes. The next week i stilled at my house doing nothing just watching t.v. and playing my xbox 360. On Christmas we went to my aunts party and then my big brother came to pick me up and he took me to my dads and we open my present. What i got was clothes, shoes, black ops 2, 2 hats, and 2 beanies. On Friday i went to the movies with my friends. In the last week we did a bongfire. We also went to ice skating. On the weekend we went to the snow for two days     

Effective Study Methods

My test study method: when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the books and read inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards are so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flash cards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to …

Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember , to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the  more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, Practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
