"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."

Robert E. Lee.

Reflection: My thoughts on this quote is that Robert E. Lee believes it is always the right time to make a correct decision. When you are accustomed to doing the right things, choosing the right won't even be a challenge to you after a while. You will continue to feel proud of yourself for sometimes helping others, or for making life easier for the rest. Doesn't matter, whole point is that if you have chosen the right once or twice or even more, then chances are you will continue doing so and you'll feel proud of yourself, deep down inside. Will power is all that is needed.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s question. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn't understand as well, to whom you can explain the material.       

Where? Hold a study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time.

Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.

When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

            

 CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

"The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all other is- 'I will form good habits and become their slaves.' "

Og Mandino

Reflection: Having good habits will easily help a person stay focused. What the quote means is that everyone has the same amount of time to succeed, but the ones that do are the ones who have goal. With great habits, all can be accessed. For example, a good habit is starting your homework the moment you walk into your house.. those good grades will eventually pay off. You must choose the right.
