Successful Students 1-2

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well intellectual capacity. Successful students…

1…. are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept participants in it! Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grades, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, and you make the choice. Active classroom participations improve the grades without increasing the 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 costa 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 legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desire.

Ask yourself these questions: what am I doing? 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 you success as a college student. If you are familiar with what these hot buttons represent and refer to them often, especially when you lie of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t and don’t, everything can, and will!
