"IT IS OUR DUTY TO CONCENTRATE ALL OUR INFLUENCE TO MAKE POPULAR THAT WHICH IS SOUND AND GOOD, AND (TO MAKE) UNPOPULAR THAT WHICH IS UNSOUND (AND NOT GOOD)."

JOSEPH SMITH

REFLECTION: THIS MEANS TO ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT! IN THIS WORLD WE HAVE TO IGNORE THE BAD INFLUENCES. WE HAVE PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE THAT WANT US TO CHOSE THE RIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE A COP IS ON ITS DUTY BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT ANY ONE TO GET HARM. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A STUDENT THAT IS BAD HE JUST LACKING OFF.

9. … DON’T CRAM FOR EXAMS. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS KNOW THAT DIVIDED PERIODS OF STUDY ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN CRAM SESSIONS, AND THEY PRACTICE IT.

IF THERE IS ONE THING THAT STUDY SKILLS SPECIALIST AGREE ON, IT IS THAT DISTRIBUTED STUDY IS BETTER THAN MASSED  LATE-NIGHT, LAST-DITCH EFFORTS KNOWN AS CRAMMING. YOU’LL LEARN MORE, REMEMBER MORE, AND EARN A HIGHER GRADE BY STUDYING IN FOUR, ONE HOUR –A-NIGHT SESSIONS FOR FRIDAY’S EXAM THAN STUDYING FOR FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT ON THURSDAY NIGHT. SHORT, CONCENTRATED PREPARATORY EFFORTS ARE MORE EFFICIENT AND REWARDING THAN WASTEFUL, INATTENTIVE, LAST MOMENT MARATHONS. YET, SO MANY STUDENTS FAIL TO LEARN THIS LESSON AND END UP REPEATING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL I BECOME A WASTEFUL HABIT. NOT TOO CLEVER, HUH?

WHEN YOU CRAM, YOU ARE TAKING THE SHORTCUT, AND SHORTCUTS NEVER PRODUCE ANY REAL WORTHWHILE RESULTS. ALSO, WHEN YOU TAKE SHORTCUTS, YOU FEEL RATHER ROTTEN KNOWING THAT YOU COULD HAVE DOE BETTER BUT DIDN'T  SHORTCUTS CUT YOU SHORT. YOU CANT PLANT WATERMELON SEEDS AND HARVEST FRESH WATERMELONS THE NEXT DAY. IT TAKES TOME. CRAMMING FOR A TEST OR PROJECT AND EXPECTING TO MAKE A HIGH SCORE THE NEXT DAY IS LIKE PLANTING WATERMELON SEEDS AND EXPECTING TO HARVEST AND EAT FRESH WATERMELON THE NEXT DAY. PLUS CRAMMING FOR A TEST OR PROJECT DOESN'T HELP YOU ACADEMICALLY, SO WHY EVEN DO IT. PLAN AHEAD, PREPARE AHEAD. GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF DAYS AND WEEKS TO PREPARE FOR UPCOMING ACCOUNTABILITY OPPORTUNITIES.

"WHAT'S RIGHT ISN'T ALWAYS POPULAR. WHAT'S POPULAR ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT."

HOWARD COSELL

REFLECTION: IT MEANS THAT TO NOT FOLLOW OTHER PEOPLE ACTION BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY DO THING THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO. FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEONE SAY BAD WORDS TO THE TEACHER OTHERS THINK OH HE JUST DID IT HOW COME I DON'T DO THE SAME SO PEOPLE THINK I'M COOL. WHICH IS NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE SHOWING PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE. YOUR PARENTS DIDN'T GIVE YOU MANNERS.

SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

7. …UNDERSTAND THAT ACTIONS AFFECT LEARNING. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS KNOW THEIR PERSONAL BEHAVIOR AFFECTS THEIR FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS WHICH IN TURN CAN AFFECT LEARNING.

IF YOU ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY THAT NORMALLY PRODUCES PARTICULAR FEELINGS, YOU WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE THOSE FEELINGS. ACT LIKE YOU’RE DISINTERESTED AND YOU’LL BECOME DISINTERESTED. SO THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TROUBLE CONCENTRATING IN THE CLASSROOM, “ACT” LIKE AN INTERESTED PERSON: LEAN FORWARD. PLACE YOUR FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR, MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT WITH THE PROFESSOR, NOD OCCASIONALLY, TAKE NOTES, AND ASK QUESTIONS. NOT ONLY WILL YOU BENEFIT DIRECTLY FROM YOUR ACTIONS, YOUR CLASSMATES AND PROFESSOR MAY ALSO GET MORE EXCITED AND ENTHUSIASTIC.

8. … TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE LEARNING. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS GET TO KNOW SOMETHING WELL ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN PUT IT INTO WORDS. TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING, WITH FRIENDS OR CLASSMATES, IS NOT ONLY GOOD FOR CHECKING WHETHER OR NOT YOU KNOW SOMETHING, IT’S A PROVEN LEARNING TOOL. TRANSFERRING IDEAS INTO WORDS PROVIDES THE MOST DIRECT PATH FOR MOVING KNOWLEDGE FROM SHORT-TERM TO LONG-TERM MEMORY. YOU REALLY DON’T “KNOW” MATERIAL UNTIL YOU CAN PUT IT INTO WORDS. SO, NEXT TIME YOU STUDY, DON’T DO IT SILENTLY. TALK ABOUT NOTES, PROBLEMS, READINGS, ETC. WITH FRIENDS, RECITE TO A CHAIR, ORGANIZE AN ORAL STUDY GROUP, PRETEND YOU’RE TEACHING YOUR PEERS. “TALK-LEARNING” PRODUCES A WHOLE HOST OF MEMORY TRACES THAT RESULT IN MORE LEARNING.

SO WHEN WE ARE UP STAGE WE ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE WE ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS. THAT DAY WE ARE GOING TO BE PROUD AND OUR PARENTS TOO BECAUSE THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY CAN FOR US TO GRADUATE. THEY ARE GOING TO SEE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BECOME SOMEONE IN LIFE. PAIN MEANS TO WATCH OTHERS GRADUATE WHICH IS BAD FOR US CAUSE WE SHOULDN'T LACK OFF.

5.  DON’T SIT IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS MINIMIZE CLASSROOM DISTRACTIONS THAT INTERFERE WITH LEARNING.

STUDENTS WANT THE BEST SEAT AVAILABLE FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT DOLLARS, BUT WILLINGLY SEEK THE WORST SEAT FOR THEIR EDUCATIONAL DOLLARS.STUDENTS WHO SITS IN THE BACK CANNOT POSSIBLY BE THEIR PROFESSOR’S TEAMMATE (SEE NO. 4). WHY DO THEY EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE INN ACTIVE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES AND DISTRACTIONS OF ALL THE PEOPLE BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR INSTRUCTOR? OF COURSE, WE KNOW THEY CHOSE THE BACK OF THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE THEY SEEK INVISIBILITY OR ANONYMITY, BOTH OF WHICH ARE ANTITHETICAL TO EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE LEARNING. IF YOU ARE TRYING NOT TO BE PART OF THE CLASS, WHY, THEN, ARE YOU WASTING YOUR TIME? PUSH YOUR HOT BUTTONS; IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE YOU SHOULD BE DOING WITH YOUR TIME?

5. …TAKE GOOD NOTES. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS TAKE NOTES THAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLE AND ORGANIZED, AND REVIEW THEM OFTEN.

WHY PUT SOMETHING INTO YOUR NOTES YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND? ASK THE QUESTIONS NOW THAT ARE NECESSARY TO MAKE YOUR NOTES MEANINGFUL AT SOME LATER TIME. A SHORT REVIEW OF YOUR NOTES WHILE THE MATERIAL IS STILL FRESH ON YOUR MIND HELPS YOUR LEARN MORE. THE MORE YOU LEARN THEN, THE LESS YOU’LL HAVE TO LEARN LATER AND THE LESS TIME IT WILL TAKE BECAUSE YOU WON’T HAVE TO INCLUDE SOME DECIPHERING TIME, ALSO. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF TAKING NOTES IS TO USE THEM, AND USE THEM OFTEN. THE MORE YOU USE THEM, THE MORE THEY IMPROVE.

3. … ASK QUESTIONS. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ASK QUESTIONS TO PROVIDE THE QUICKEST ROUTE BETWEEN IGNORANCE AND KNOWLEDGE. IN ADDITION TO SECURING KNOWLEDGE YOU SEEK, ASK QUESTIONS HAS AT LEAST TWO OTHER EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BENEFITS. THE PROCESS HELPS YOU PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PROFESSOR AND HELPS YOUR PROFESSOR PAY ATTENTION TO YOU! THINK ABOUT IT. IF YOU WANT SOME THING, GO AFTER IT. GET THE ANSWER NOW, OR FAIL A QUESTION LATER. THERE ARE NO FOOLISH QUESTIONS, ONLY FOOLISH SILENCE. ITS YOUR CHOICE.

4. …LEARN THAT A STUDENT AND A PROFESSOR MAKE A TEAM. MOST INSTRUCTORS WANT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT: THEY WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO LEARN THE MATERIAL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSES AND EARN A GOOD GRADE.

              SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS REFLECT WELL ON THE EFFORTS OF ANY TEACHER; IF YOU LEARNED YOUR MATERIAL, THE INSTRUCTOR TAKES SOME JUSTIFIABLE PRIDE IN TEACHING. JOIN FORCES WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR, THEY ARE NOT AN ENEMY, YOU SHARE THE SAME INTERESTS  THE SAME GOALS- IN SHORT, YOUR TEAMMATES. GET TO KNOW YOUR PROFESSOR. YOU’RE THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ON THE SAME TEAM. YOUR JOBS ARE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR MUTUAL SUCCESS. NEITHER WISHES TO CHALK UP A LOSING SEASON. BE A TEAM PLAYER!

  SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS EXHIBIT A COMBINATION OF SUCCESSFUL ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS AS WELL AS INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS …

1.  … ARE RESPONSIBLE AND ACTIVE. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS GET INVOLVED IN THEIR STUDIES, ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN EDUCATION, AND ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN IT! RESPONSIBILITY MEANS CONTROL. IT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEADING AND BEING LED. YOUR OWN EFFORTS CONTROL YOUR GRADE, YOU EARN THE GLORY OR DESERVED THE BLAME, AND YOU MAKE THE CHOICE. ACTIVE CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION IMPROVES GRADES WITHOUT INCREASING STUDY TIME. YOU CAN SIT THERE, ACT BORED, DAYDREAM, OR SLEEP. OR, YOU CAN ACTIVELY LISTEN, THINK, QUESTION, AND TAKE NOTES LIKE SOMEONE IN CHARGE OF THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCE. EITHER OPTION COSTS ONE CLASS PERIOD. HOWEVER, THE FORMER METHOD WILL REQUIRE A LARGE DEGREE OF ADDITIONAL WORK OUTSIDE OF CLASS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME DEGREE OF LEARNING THE LATTER PROVIDES AT ONE SITTING. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

2.   … HAVE EDUCATIONAL GOALS. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS HAVE LEGITIMATE GOALS AND ARE MOTIVATED BY WHAT THEY REPRESENT IN TERMS OF CAREER ASPIRATIONS AND LIFE’S DESIRES. ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS: WHAT AM I DOING HERE? WHY HAVE I CHOSEN TO BE SITTING HERE NOW? IS THERE SOME BETTER PLACE I COULD BE? WHAT DOES MY PRESENCE HERE MEAN TO ME? ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS REPRESENT YOUR “HOT BUTTONS” AND ARE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN YOUR SUCCESS AS A COLLEGE STUDENT. IF YOU’RE EDUCATIONAL GOALS ARE TRULY YOURS, NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S, THEY WILL MOTIVATE A VITAL AND POSITIVE ACADEMIC ATTITUDE. IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THESE HOT BUTTONS REPRESENT AND REFER TO THEM OFTEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TIRE OF BEING A STUDENT, NOTHING CAN STOP YOU; IF YOU AREN'T AND DON’T, EVERYTHING CAN, AND WILL!

TENNESSEE WALKING TRAINERS TORTURE HORSES

SUMMARY: WELL JACKIE McConnell IS GOING TO COURT BECAUSE HE ABUSE HORSES. HE WANTED TO TRAINED HORSES OF RICH OWNERS TO DOMINATE THE COMPETITION. HE TRAIN HORSES BUT A VIDEO CAME OUT THAT HE TORTURE THE POOR ANIMALS. NOW HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYBODY IN HIS RANCH SO HE CAN’T TRAIN ANYMORE. HE DIDN'T HAVE A HEART TO HIT THE POOR HORSES. HE MADE THEM FEEL THEIR OWN PAIN. SO THEY COULD WALK. HE IS SO HEARTLESS JUST SO THE OWNER COULD WIN A PIECE OF RIBBON THAT COST LESS THAN A POOR ANIMAL.

REFLECTION: WHAT I LEARNED IN THIS VIDEO IS THAT PEOPLE DO ANYTHING TO WIN AND IT EVEN COST THEM BUT EVENTUALLY PEOPLE FIND OUT. TORTURING HORSES IS LIKE HARMING OTHERS. DON’T HURT SOMETHING THAT IS An ANIMAL  BECAUSE IS LIKE HURTING NATURE.

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 EASIER 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 SUCCESS IN TEAM PROJECT: NEVER ASSUME SOMEONE IS DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. HAVE REGULAR MEETING AND HAVE EACH MEMBER SHOWS THEIR WORK, NOT JUST GIVE YOU OR THE GROUP THEIR WORD FOR IT.

"SEEK TO DO GOOD AND YOU WILL FIND THAT HAPPINESS WILL RUN AFTER YOU"

JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE

REFLECTION: IT MEANS THAT IF YOU KEEP ON DO WHAT  YOU SO THAT EVERYTHING AROUND YOU WILL FALL TO ITS OWN PLACE. FOR EXAMPLE ITS IF YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON THAT KEEP ON WHAT YOU DOING AND YOU WILL END UP HAPPY IN THE FUTURE. LIKE IN ANOTHER EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE BAD YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY AND YOU ARE GOING TO SUFFER. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE WRONG IDEA TO BE BAD THEY THINK BEING BAD IS GOOD WHICH IS NOT BECAUSE SOONER OF LATER YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET YOUR MISTAKES. BEING GOOD IS LIKE YOUR BACK IS LIGHT WITHOUT HAVING ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. ALWAYS TO THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

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. MANT 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 WOILD TRY TO TAKE THE TERMS AND APPLY THEM ON THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER.

MY TIME MANAGEMENT SECRET: I 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 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 THINGS ACCOMPLISH BUT THAT IS REALLY ALL I DO.

SARAH’S ACADEMIC SUCCESS STORY

PART 1

TIME MANAGEMENT BECAME A KEY FACTOR IN MY STUDY SKILLS FOR COLLEGE. IN HIGH SCHOOL, THERE WERE TIMES I WAS ABLE TO STUDY FOR AN HOUR OR TWO THE NIGHT BEFORE A TEST AND GET AWAY WITH IT. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE IN COLLEGE I WAS PREPARED FOR EACH CLASS. SOMETIMES THE MEANT WRITING THE TERMS FOR THE CHAPTER WE READ (EVEN IF WHEN IT ISN'T REQUIRED) TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEM. THAT WAY WHEN THE MIDTERM OR TEST COMES AROUND I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS STUDYING. I STARTED TAKING EXCELLENT NOTES IN CLASS IN COLLEGE. I MAY HAVE DONE THIS IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT IN COLLEGE I STARTED TYPING UP THE NOTES AFTER CLASS. THIS HELPED ME REMEMBER WHAT I JUST WENT OVER IN CLASS THEN WHEN I HAD A TEST ONE WEEK LATER I WAS MORE LIKELY TO REMEMBER THEN AS WELL.

MY OVERALL STUDY METHOD: STRUCT ED  ONE THING I LEARNED WAS I HAD TO ADAPT OR CHANGE MY STUDY METHOD ACCORDING TO THE CLASS. I COULDN'T STUDY FOR A RELIGION CLASS THE SAME WAY I STUDIED FOR FINANCE CLASS. BUT MAKING SURE I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO STUDY FOR EACH CLASS—EVEN IF IT MEANT CARRYING A PLANNER WITH ME AT ALL TIMES WAS A BIG PART OF MY SUCCESS.

HERE ARE MY FINAL WORDS OF WISDOM FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO GET BETTER GRADES IN COLLEGE: A BIG THING THAT NOT MANY WILL SAY IS TO ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEEDED IT. IT’S NOT A BAD THING TO NOT UNDERSTAND, IT’S A BAD THING IF YOU DON’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLAN YOU TIME OUT SO YOU ARE COMPLETING EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AND LEAVE TIME TO DOUBLE CHECK. WRITE THINGS DOWN AND HAVE GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS. ASK FOR HELP IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST THING I CAN SAY THOUGHT. IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, GO TO OFFICE HOURS OR FIND A CLASSMATE THAT DOES UNDERSTAND AND IS WILLING TO HELP YOU. IF YOU TRY HARD, IT WILL COME TO YOU. I FIND MYSELF THINKING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TRY HARDER TO FAIL THAN I TRY TO SUCCEED. IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS WITHIN ME TO SUCCEED. IF THAT IS NOT WHO YOU ARE, THEN HOPEFULLY THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE CAN SHOW YOU THAT SUCCESS IS SOMETHING THAT IS AMAZING TO FIND! GOOD LUCK!

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 OVER COME 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.

IF THERE IS SOME PART OF A PRJECT 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.

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 ME WHAT I AM GOING TO BE DOING EVERY DAY. KNOWING WHAT I HAVE TO DO EVERYDAY 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 KILLER TO MAKE UP FROM, BUT IF YOU ARE UPFRONT WITH YOUR PROFESSORS, THEY ARE USSUALLY NICE ABOUT HAVING TO TURN THINGS IN LATE OR NOT BEING IN CLASSES.

PART 1

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 IMPORTANTR 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 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 LEARNING TOOL. THE KEY TO REMEBERING SOMETHING IS TO REPEAT IT NUMEROUS TIMES-SPACED REHEARSAL. IF YOU FORGET SOMETHING, IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT 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 BETTER YOU BECOME AT PLAYING THAT SONG. LEARNING AND REMEMBERING IS LIKE PLAYING THE PIANO-THE MORE YOU PRACTICE SAYING OR DOING IT THE BETER YOU CAN REMEMBER 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.

THE BETTER YOU REMEMBER, THE MORE YOU OBTAIN FROM STUDYING AND LEARNING.
