Student success statement

´Character is higher than intellect.”

The way you live your life and the choices you make are more important than how smart you are. When you have no regrets, it is easy to think clearly and to accomplish more things faster.

Student Success Statement

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

 We all have an inside and an outside. Everyone has an inside, but we can only see the outside, the physical. So when you have a statement like this, I believe it is trying to say that what is inside us, or within us, is more important than anything on the outside or around us. What lies within us is more powerful and stronger and smarter than what we think. What we feel and our thoughts and our feelings are nothing when compared to actions and actual doing. We can do and say things but what would really matter at the end is what we feel, what lies within us.

Effective study methods part 1

        My test 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 flash cards on what is 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 stores and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old test, 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 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 thing 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 it doing it the better you can remember it. Look now 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 à Proficiency à Pleasure

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