Student Success Statement


 

“We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn’t do.”

Richard L. Evans

 

Doing what supposed to gives us a great future. Life is not easy and to be happy and being able to enjoy you need to work hard and you will suffer and you have to really try, everything pays off, soon or later what you give you will receive in return.

Student Responsibility

Part 3
 What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed.

Some of the keys characteristics you will find in those who are successful and perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things so not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks, at the outside of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievements targets can all play in an important role.

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, than do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use medications and visualization techniques to indicate your vision, and they can certainly be learnt both of that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You cans develop inner strength of succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Students: these are YOUR responsibilities!

“The importance of Good Sportsmanship”


Being in a sport it is not just playing to win.  Sometimes loosing gets the players very mad and heated, that they forget to have a good sportsmanship.  At times a game does not go well and we blame our teammates because we think they were not at their spot or the play did not go well. In basketball, after a game they huddle up and say the other team’s name and then theirs. Also they walk in a line on the opposite way the players shake hands with the other team. Some players instead of shaking hands they give you a fist because they were mad for loosing. A good sportsmanship is having a good attitude after a loss. Having a good attitude transmits a good a good energy and the others start to have a positive attitude as well. If one person follows the right and like that everybody will choose the right and the team will happy and supportive.
Example of a good sportsmanship
Saying  ;
·      “good job”
·     “next time let’s pick it up”
·     “nice crossover”

Successful Students Part.3
 
` 7. Successful students understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions that 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 your bored, and you’ll become bored. 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. Successful students talk about what they’re leaning. 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, reading, 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.
