Successful Students
1-2
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 responsibilities for their own education, and are active
participants in it! Responsibilities mean control. It’s the difference between
leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory
or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves
grades without increasing in study time. You can sit there, act board, day
dream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take note
like someone in charge of their learning experience. Ether potion cost 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
letter 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 present here mean to me? Answers to these
questions represent your “hot buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most
important factor 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 tired of being a
student, nothing can stop you; if you aren't and don't, everything can, and will!!
Choose the Right!!!
