Student Success Statement: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Student Success Statement

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:  Well Mr. Emerson is right that you need to have good character but you need to be smart. You need to try to be at least, you need to have good grades and what not. Be intelligent in what you do because even if you don’t have a lot of brains you can still become someone. Just remember to take your intelligence into consideration of being a good person to make good choices.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·      Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·      Build study habits that are essential in college.

·      Prepare for your classes.

·      Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the Mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

Know Where to Begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the Same Time Every Day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

“I think it better do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity”

Robert E. Lee

Reflection: Well Mr. Lee makes a good point, your ego and image can be a little messy if you’re the only one choosing the right. You need to achieve what you can become and do even greater. You need to succeed and always do what is right to become someone who your proud of.

For Review

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to It

Review your notes the day you take them and all of your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell System, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.
