 So it Doesn’t Control You

 Part 3

Take Advantage of Any Free Time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start you r homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are hound and not flopping around. Flash cards hound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage you tasks.

Celebrate Your Achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

"Be always sure you're right, then go ahead."

-Davy Crockett

Reflection: To me, this quote means much. As long as you think about your decision,then you'll probably do a good job. When you think about something,the right thoughts will come to your head BUT you must take your time. If you pay little attention to the choice you're about to make, there's a big chance it would be a mistake and you'll end up regretting it. If you think you're right about something, then speak your mind. If your "right" thought isn't correct, then just learn from your previous mistake.

Keep Things Organized

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and you use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and be smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not be passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you.  Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.

Robert E. Lee 

Reflection: Robert E. Lee's message was to inform us about choosing the right. If it's the right thing to do even if you think it's not worth it, then it means to just try harder. Approaching a goal is nothing but success. Your doing of the right will let you reach the impossible. Striving for the best WILL give you the best. It all pays off eventually.

For Review

Once you've done all of the above, you’ll find you've created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to It

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.

You've been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn't work for you, experiment with other method. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

The Rolling Stones Tour

The Rolling Stones Tour, 2013

Yesterday morning, I was listening to the Stones when my dad walked in my room.. He told me that the Rolling Stones were on tour! I was really excited and I asked him if he could take me, BUT he crushed my dreams in an instant when he told me the ticket's price. I searched online to see if I can get any cheap seats but the cheapest ticket was around $500. The price doesn't even surprise me. Why? That's because they're AMAZING, they're just a classic. Who'd want to miss out on a concert like that? The Rolling Stones are simply legendary. They created music, they inspired some of the music made today! It's just outstanding! These people have been around for so many years and still have the strength to go on tour. It would be such an honor to watch them live. It's a once in a life time kind of thing.. One day, I want to be able to watch them, even if it's their last show. I can't believe I'm missing out on this. Those people who paid over $5,000 for their front row tickets are insanely lucky. On May 2nd, 2013.. I will be one depressed child at home knowing that that exact second, the Rolling Stones are at the Staple Center, singing and entertaining their little hearts out.
