Laura B’s academic success story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took that for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try. I had a 4.0 all through high school, but I really didn’t have to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for classes and I try to keep it up. If I do fall behind I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aids. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class because of volleyball makes sure that I keep my grades good because I make sure to take my good notes. Also, for a subject such chemistry I do practice to help me as I understand the material means.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: when receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies from written assignments: start early and make sure that you have it proofed. Also, with written assignment having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in projects: Communication! Despite your group’s synergy, communication is critical. I remember I ran out of cell power minutes constantly when working on a group project from my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A's academic success story

In high school ,I  didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school , I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.
My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems given in class as well as problems from power where I can work out the method: I have a very different technique. For financial test I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points in homework when it comes to marking classes I review my notes and try to management secrets: one of my biggest secret is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test. How I deal with multiple project tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do a massive studying block of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

Since then, he has worked in the lab at children's healthcare of Atlanta.."I learned pretty much everything that i needed to know about laboratory science at DCCC many of the clinic application that i learned there i still use today either in my medical volunteering phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, which including training new technologist on cell identification, "said Mishak." It is pretty easy to to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, its not difficult at all. All students meed to do is study. Put in the time it as simple as that. If  students 'willing to study now, it will be very difficult to develop this habit later on. Therefore, i suggest that students work hard in their studies and at being good people doing nothing to get them in trouble during school by doing so they will enjoy  success during high school and throughout their lifetime.

•  Many people avoid making decisions their wholes lives, so their decisive family of mind, the faculty of discrimination, become rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent on others. When we study the four functions of the mind - buddies , the faculty of decisiveness: ego, the principle of identity , chitta , the storehouse of impressions and manas the importer and exporter of impression: and experience- then  we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is that something within us that comes forward and says " Do this is it will helpful for you. " training the internal functions helps us to understand the decisive faculty of minds without which we cannot be successful.

•  Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about nothing - you will  you will become nothing. If you think about being a great student- you will become a great student. If you think about being honest - you will be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout  your adult life.
