“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

REFLECTION: This person is trying to say when you do what is right you won’t ever regret the actions you do. When you are doing what is right you won’t have a dirty conscience. You will feel good inside and won’t feel guilty about nothing as long as you do what is right.

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 for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests 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 out high school, but I never really had 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 the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problem to help me understand what the material means.

“Light and darkness cant copy occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness.”

Call/Haymore

REFLECTION: What Mr. Haymore is trying to say is that when you are choosing the right you can’t be choosing the wrong as well. You must only follow one path, either the bad one (darkness) or the good one (light). When you choose the right you are choosing light when you are choosing the wrong you are choosing the darkness. What he means by can’t occupy the same space at the same time Mr. Haymore is trying to say you can’t be doing good if you’re doing something bad.

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last one picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for this class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

French Proverb

Reflection: What French Proverb is trying to say is when you have a clear conscience your head is like a pillow floating and soft. There is nothing in your conscience it’s like in blank. When you have a clear conscience your mind is not thinking and you have no worries.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving 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 a 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 for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, 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 team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for 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.
