My Three Week Vacation

I stayed home and watched my brothers. Then maybe on three times I hung out with my friends and my cousins.

Effective Study Methods: Part 1

Effective Study Methods

Part 1

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 was 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 book and read the 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 so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced reversal. If you forget something,   it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. 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 is the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You 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.

Practice---àProficiency-àPleasure

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

   Student Success Statement:  

“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

Reflection: Basically all it means is when you regret it’s because you’re not happy with the choice you made, but when you choose the right, you will never have to worry about having regret. Your CTR will help you achieve greater if you’re not happy, no one will take you seriously, you won’t get a job, or wife, blah blah, etc. but you will need it because it’s all about what you do as a human being and how you feel.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much an effort to get the results that     I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts.

My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

My Dreams

This is a dream because I want to become a Tattoo Artist. It's one of the better models and is very unique.

Another one of my dreams is to become a psychiatrist, it has always been one of my dreams to find out how the brain works, and understanding people's emotions.

I would also like to travel to Japan, and England to see the sites, and play tourist.

Student Success Statement

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness”

Call\Haymore

Reflection: This quote means that you cannot choose the right and the wrong at the same time. It is between right, and between wrong, the only thing you need is too always choose the right so you don’t need to have darkness in your life. When you hear about it, all you can do is go to the light, and stray from the darkness, theyre will be more choices to choose the right but you need to make sure your path to success is bright, because if not how else would you get to your goals?

My great academic success: In my principals of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for the class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.
