& Habits of Successful Students

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions of feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teen, life is not a playground it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problem they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them learn their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice, you can be lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. I study skills problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non – students! Procrastinators are good excuse – makers. Don’t make academic harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M. Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.

“I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.”

Ernest Hemingway

Pay attention to what’s right and what’s wrong.

Reflection: What Mr. Ernest is trying to say is that he knows what is good is what is good and what is wrong is wrong. You just can’t just say oh well it’s a little bad no its very bad just plain bad. Well what is god is good. When you do something, even the littlest thing if it is right it is considered just plain good. When you do something bad you feel bad after. When you do something good you feel good after. That’s the way it is and that’s the way it will always be.

“My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure.”

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Reflection: what Mr. Lord Tennyson is trying to say is that he is a good person and that’s why he is very strong. Not physically but he can do so many things because he has a good heart. His heart is pure which means he has a clean and noble heart. He is a good person who likes and can help others out when they are in need.

Walking Horses

Jack McConell tortured horses to train them. he would put foreign substances in their legs to make walking painful. he was considered the go-to guy for rich people to train their horses and is  now facing a federal indictment.
Reflection: Jack McConell was overtaken by greed for money, and that led him to his demise.He tortured horses so they would walk fancy, but made it extremely painful. this is very wrong, horses don't have to suffer because of a man's greed.

Study for Mutiple Tests

Study for Multiple Exams

Part 2

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

Study for Multiple Exams

Part 1

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start Studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well as part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests.                                        

My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all nighter

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: If I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly or I didn’t use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometime discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for study for the next exam.

Student Success Statement

"Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you."
James Freeman Clarke

 

What this statement implies is that happiness comes to those who do good because it is the right thing to do. If you do something right, you will get a feeling of good, and that good feeling can be know as a kind of happiness. For example, if you see a starving person on the street and you have a bag of chips, offer them the bag because you know you can get more, where as that person cannot afford it. And that will give you a feeling of good, or happiness.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 2

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew there were going to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply them to an example or create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.

My time management secret: I always always always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

“Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you.”

James Freeman Clarke

Reflection: Mr. Clarke has a point by saying that when you do good you will be happy. For example, when you help a person out they will later help you when you are in need or someone else will. When you go to school you’ll get an education and you will be successful and you will be happy. I think this statement is saying when you try to do good you will be happy or at least feel happy with yourself. This statement is really important for people who are doing bad things and are not feeling good with themselves. Happiness is goodness.

“There is no set path, just follow your heart.”

Anon

Reflection: What Anon is trying to say is that you don’t have to follow a path, just follow what your heart tells you to do. Even though some people get hurt by doing this but you should follow it because you don’t want to look back and one day say oh I regret not following my heart. You don’t always know what to do with your life but by following your heart you will probably show you what is right.

Part 2

English, math, foreign language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problem you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical solutions. As for English I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t you leave them until the last second.
