Student Success Statement

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problem of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30 president of the United States

President Coolidge is very right a persistent attitude does far more than anything else. When you work hard you surpass people with talent. When you work hard nothing can stop you. The only way regular people were and still prosper is through never giving up. Someone with a great mind but is lazy will be head to head with someone you buckles down and works hard. The way my team was able to be southern state champions and on our way to Californian state champions is through all of are hard work and never giving up.

“Gold medals don’t make champions…. Hard work does.”

ANON

This is true and will always be true. The only way to get something is through work. The achievement you want to reach is not just going to happen you have to go out and seize it. When you work hard that is when things start to go your way. My coach told us once we started out decent into state championship last week he said that what happened before doesn't matter and the only way to be number one and keep the bulls-eye  on our back is to work hard and always give it our all.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential."

-liane Cordes

This is very true effort can take you anywhere you want. It doesn't matter if the person next to you is smart if they don’t have as much effort as you do you will go farther. When you learn something new and don’t get a hang of it you don’t give up you try harder. The people that are experts of what they do try harder and harder each time they do it and put all of their effort into it. When my brother first got into music he was pretty bad. However he wants to pursue a career in music and puts tons of effort in when he play and has become very skilled.

“The first law of success….. Is concentration; to blend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor to the left.”

-William Mathews

This is very true the only way to get to success is through concentrating. When you concentrate you zone in on what needs to be done. Once that is achieved reaching your goal is easy. You are able to make the right decisions when they are needed to be made, and more importantly you manage your time better and get everything done. When my team started to concentrate and work extremly hard we are now seated number one in solcal.

“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.”

-Robert Kiyosaki

Kiyosaki is very correct when he states this. People worry too much about the past or the what exactly has to be done tomorrow. What people need to learn is to live in the moment and learn how to worry about now while worrying about tomorrow at the same time. People should do today what will help them out in that instance but will also will help them out tomorrow. Instead of worrying about tomorrow you need to get up and do something that will make that tomorrow happen. I practice every day for lacrosse and study every day for school. I do this to be fit and smart but also so it will be easier for me to go to college.

“The Three Don’ts”

Don’t whine

 Don’t Complain

Don’t make excuses

--John Wooden

These three don’ts are something that every athlete has to live by in order to play. What wooden is trying to say is that these three actions only stunt your growth as a player and as a person. When you just complain, whine, and make excuses you go nowhere and never improve. In my lacrosse practice whenever we complain we do sprints as a team, if we make excuses we run a mile. The importance of this is that all of the consequences to the complaining and excuse making our coach gives us makes us never complain, whine, or make excuses we just endure.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 3-5

 3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any projects in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5.  Acknowledge your accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an e-mail, or get a snack. Then move on to a new project.

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on high-impact activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your work load before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that make more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in their order of importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greater impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam take priority over writing a paragraph for an English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book, instead of another biography.

Fight

My time has been pack for a while. However I want to fight and learn Japanese while I learn. The main fighting styles I wish to learn are Muy Thai, Taekwondo, Karate, and Judo. I have learned a small amount of the few. Yet I want to gain more experience in them. I am not sure but I find joy in fighting and seeing these fighting styles. I wish to learn Japanese while I do this because I plan to travel to japan once I finish school, or even during school. I plan to try to accomplish this and progress in at least one of these fighting styles.

Note-Taking Strategies

Part 3

After class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlights and use symbols to sort through the information, if you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves you r memory of the material for the long term and for test down the road.

Note-Taking Strategies

Part 2

During class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note-taking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.   Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.   Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.   Organize as you write. Pay attention to cures such as repetition and emphasis.

4.   Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5.   Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6.   Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”

-Woodrow Wilson

I total agree with Wilson it is totally fine when you fight for what is right. However people should decide for themselves what is right for them. I also think it is justified when you fight for what you love and believe in with all your heart. When you fight for that or even your country I find these reasons justified.
