Work Together

English, math, foreign language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problems 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 situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would stay 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 leave them until the last second.

Student Success Statement (Gordon B. Hinckley)

Student Success Statement

“Try a little harder to be a little better.”

Gordon B. Hinckley

Reflection:

Ever since day one I was always told to try, my parents told me and of course myself. Life is pretty rough at some points, but if you face the fact it’s actually pretty easy all you have to do is try. That right there is the word that will follow you for the rest of your life. All you have to do to succeed is try I mean pretty much it.

My strategies for written assignment’s: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not leaving them until the last minute because then I will just goof up to 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 that 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 in high school. However, when it is 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.

Tiger Woods ignores his Needy Brother (Summary)

Tiger Woods ignores his Needy Brother

Summary

What I thought about this was that Tiger Woods is really shellfish. I mean if you have the money to afford anything in the world and you don’t have the right to help the person in need I mean there is something wrong with you. In my book family is the first thing that comes; he should’ve helped him when he had the chance. Your character is what matters, and the way I see it is he isn’t what he seems.

You Can Succeed Every Day

Part 1

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, If I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

Student Success Statement (Etienne de Grellet)

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

Reflection:

This quote is 100% true, because you can only live once. There is only time for you to go through just a single lifetime. The quote means show your kindness, make a name for yourself because you will only go through that path once. Make sure it is worth it. Very meaning full statement it wants you to show your true personality.

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 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of 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. I mean 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 mw 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 for volleyball.  When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is 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.

3 Week Vacation

3 Week Vacation

 

This Is what I did, I did many chores such as (Cleaning).  I helped around the house trying to keep everything all nice and organize. Well it sounds boring but I like cleaning sometimes because while your doing it you can think to yourself and say it's easy. Mabye I can be a waiter one day. Besides all that my 3 week Vacation was well I did have a lot of time to catch up and you know christmas is all about spending time with your family and so I did, and I got the chance to do things that I havent done when I was in school. Bottom line is my 3 week's was alright although it felt long and was short it was ok. 7/10

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, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and to add 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 so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced 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 the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being expose 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.
