Student Success Statement #27

Student Success Statement
" Try a little harder to be a little better"
- Gordon B. Hinckley
What I think this statements is saying is that you have to try your best to get the hang of it. If you don't try at all how would you ever get the point of it?

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave then until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in team projects: Personally. I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on high school. However, when it’s required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like  taking  the  lead  because  then  I know that  my grade  will  be  a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

Student Success Statement
" I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness i can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again."
- Etienne de Grellet
I think this statement is trying to say that, anyone can show kindness or can be good and anyone can show it. But if they decide to neglect it or defer it they would be known as someone who isn't a good person.

How I deal with multiple projects tests; When I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 50 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long. I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret. My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. Line on everything I write down if I am going to email people. Write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus plane hotel room. Missing class is a killer, to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

My vacations

What i did during my 3 weeks off, was go to my friends house i slept over for 2 days and it was a lot of fun. we slept very late. i went to a party with some friends and family on new years and we were dancing, laughing and just having so much fun. I would play games all night long and end up sleeping very late. My vacations were really fun. We went to the beach once and we stayed their till the next day, it was really cold and i wanted to go home. On Christmas, we had freinds and family come over we all ate and then we starting talking about when me and my little sister were small and the weird things we would do. Then when the clock strucked d 12 we started unwrapping our gifts.

My test study method; When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, playing special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review season. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests. I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous times- spared rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall. It is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking “oh no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on a piano, the better you become at playing the song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remembered it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember , and they will stick with you.

Practice—Proficiency---Pleasure                                                                         

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
