Student Success Statement

“Try a little harder to be a little better.”

Gordon B. Hinckely

Reflection: As long as you try, your work will eventually get better. Like that saying “practice makes perfect”, all you need is time. You can’t automatically do something perfectly without experience. Just be dedicated.

You Can Succeed Every Day

Part 1

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 no longer sessions on nights before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I 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 grades 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 than I expected, I make sure that next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

Reflection: As long as you choose the right, your life will be good. CTR is obviously a positive thing, brightening up your day by making situations better for you. Having the opportunity between choosing the right and the wrong will make people realize if certain things are worth it or not.

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles 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 paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in 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.
