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 participants
improves in grades without in cress 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? Answer 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.
