Student Success Statement

" Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."
Robert Kiyosaki

I agree with this statement because you should live in the moment. It is better to do the things you need in the moment than a day later or even a year or more. For example, if you are planning to go to college, you shouldn't wait until tomorrow to have good grades.  You should start now!!! That also says a lot about your character, that you are hard working and you know how to set priorities,

Improve your study skills

SQ3R stands for:

                             Survey

                        Question

                        Read

                        Recite

                        Review

It is a proven Technique to sharpen your study skills.

In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

SURVEY

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·       Read title, headings and subheadings.

·       Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·       Look at charts, graphs pictures, maps, and other visual material.

·       Read captions

·       Read the very beginning and end of the chapter

Student Success Statement

"When I was teaching basketball, i urged my players to try their hardest to improve every 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 the lost day."
John Wooden

I agree with this statement because, in basketball and any other sport what you have to do to be better at it, is practicing. In life if you practice to be good, to never lie, or cheat or still and to never whine then your life as person becomes much better and a great one. It is good to practice being a good person because it also makes you and your piers look good.

Tip 3: Do Research        

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces of countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tip 4: Use a dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

"Every time I done something that doesn't feel right, it ended up not being right."
Mario Cuomo
(52 governor of NY)

I agree with this statement because choosing the wrong is obvious. People shouldn't do the obvious wrong things but the obvious good things. Choosing the wrong all it does is bring unhappiness to the person and everyone else. It is better to do what is right and feel good about it.

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a TEXT, the more likely you are to successfully communicate you thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

 Tips 1-2

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip: 2 Note the Author’s Writing Style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you are reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

"The Three Don'ts"

Don't Whine

Don't Complain

Don't make Excuses

-John Wooden

I agree with John Wooden because complaining, whining, and making up excuses are for losers. It is for people who don't care about what they do in life, it is for lazy people. That is why people should NEVER do those things. It is better to stay positive and look at the bright side of everything.
