“What I will do to Graduate from High School”
 What I need to do so I can graduate High School, is to study so I can pass all my tests. I need to pay more attention so that I can understand more and not be confused when the teacher is making his/her lesson. Make notes while the lessons so I can study at home. The most important thing I need to do is be a good student, stay out of trouble, not letting any people influence me to do something bad so I can graduate.

. I want to have at least a great future, I don’t want to mess up in the beginning and regret not doing good in high school. I need my high school diploma so I can do well in the future. I believe the only chance we all have is HIGH SCHOOL because that’s the part where you start growing up and start taking responsibility of your life.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too , but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself      achievable targets can all play an important role.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 10



Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students
Part 10

  • ·        They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.

  • ·        They don’t apply the simple criteria of successful to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

  • ·        They know how to handle groups.

  • ·        Finally, they work with passion.


Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to it’s content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and other areas of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link.

Part 9

  • ·       They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop processes is a skill that will last for the whole life.

  • ·       They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning, i.e., they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.

  • ·       They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, Internet, and so on).

·       They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.
