Student Success Statement

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning”

Claudius

Reflection:

I think this statement means that no one is responsible of your learning it’s all up to you nobody else. For example the grade you receive on your report card is upon anybody else it’s the choices, decisions, etc. that you make nobody else. There is nobody to blame but yourself because architect is your own learning. The one that builds their learning is yourself in other words you are responsible for your own education. Another example there is a test the next day and you want to pass it so what you should do instead of cheating is study the night before the test or if you knew about a week ago you could of studied since then, and you are sure to pass the test because you were responsible for your own learning.

Cool Under Pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work worlds own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting high deadlines speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be prepared” holds true first time and every time. Prepare for the test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

"Start with what is right rather than what is Acceptable"

Peter F. Drucker .

Reflection: 

What this statement probably means is to start with doing whats right other than doing what you believe is right. In other words, do what is right other than doing what seems right, but really isn't. For example, if you want to tell your parent(s) about an accident that had occurred you believe that you should tell your parents later, but the right thing to do is tell them now and you wont have to worry about not telling them earlier.

Initiative

5-10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Choose the Right.

Problem Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes for beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is the best. As a working professional you’ll be solving problems regularly whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensity and frequently therefore be ready when there come.

When problem or challenges occur some people look at them with negative experiences as a crisis. These people are the one who live day by day with gloom and negative in their attitudes. But the really successful people those who are cheerful and optimistic are those who look at problems as opportunities to learn grow expand their horizon and make new discovers. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Speaking Skills

(2 of 10)

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of America experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one- on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Student Success Statement

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. the slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve problems of human race"

-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

This quote means that in life nothing can take the place of persistence. that you have a good life and you should never choose the wrong always choose the right and be appreciated what you have.

Writing Skills

(1 of 10)

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.
