Student Success Statement

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment”

Phil Jackson

Reflection:

This quote means that you shouldn't worry about your future, or past you should worry about what is happening NOW at this moment. For example if you’re taking a test you shouldn't worry about the next question or if you’re going to pass or not pass you should just worry about the question your on at that moment then go on to the next. Also that it doesn't matter if you win or lose but on concentrating on what is happening now. In other words, don’t worry if you’re winning or losing only focus on what is going on right at that very moment.  Another example if you are playing a basketball game and your team is losing, don’t worry about it only focus on what is going on right at that moment; you shouldn't worry about the scoreboard..

Student Success Statement

“ Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

                   Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that being honest is best way to walk upon. In other words, having the truth with you the road is always solid, not rough. For example, if you are not honest, then you will feel guilty and your road is always bumpy. However, if you are honest then you will feel great and your road is straight.

 

Attention To Detail

                             7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

          John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

          Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

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.

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment. take a walk, send an email, get a snack. then move on to the next project.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 1-2

To succeed in High School and college you have to do your best at all times but sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated even you really care for your work. Here are some ways to stay on the right track.

1.                        Focus in high impact activities

The key in school is staying focused on your courses work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it then make a plan. Although its tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones to that you’ll learn the most from.

 To determine what your precise portieres are rank your assignment in order of their importance, then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those who have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important studying for midterm exam takes time.

2.                        Create new challenge

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignments last year, try a poem this time. For book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.
