Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement 

"When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."

John Wooden

Reflection: I completely agree with his quote. The most meaningful part of this quote is when John mentioned "the most important rule".. simply because it's true. He is a very wise man and those words he spoke are nothing but the truth, in an optimist's point of view. He only want the best for everyone. As long as you improve yourself, day by day, you'll make a difference. If you push yourself to do your best, you'll reach your goal eventually only because you are better than how you were yesterday. Setting goals is what can help you reach your destination even quicker! You'll have something to look forward to. Choose the right.

Like many high school students you may—or need—to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Considerations

You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take a part on a part-time job. It’s important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.

Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

Heather A.’s Academic Success Story

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as I do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with others.

My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams t describe different processes.

My time management secret: One of my biggest secrets is too look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects/ tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there.

My overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.
