Student success statement

“Success is dependent on effort.”

~ Sophocles, Greek dramatist

 If you put all your effort into something you will be a successful person. Like for example if you study and try hard on a test you will score a high grade. And you will pass the class. But if you don’t put effort into anything, that means you don’t care. And won’t become successful.

Choose where to Study

Where you should study depends on 2 factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type f work you are planning to do.

v  The best place to study have a good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space – usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

v  For completing problems set or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or a test or at least in a setting where your fellow students are available for discussion.

v   When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.

10 time management Tips for Students tip 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer & your tasks seem more difficult

Tip 7. Communicate your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or texts are proving to be distractions, tell your friends that you are only available at a certain time of a day & not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget & plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t waste Time Agonizing,

Instead of agonizing & procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

“Improve begins with I.”

I think this statement means that in order to improve your neighborhood, your community, your school, or improve anything—you must begin with improving yourself. Like for example when people judge other. They should look at themselves first because they aren’t perfect. Well nobody is perfect. That’s why we shouldn’t judge others
