Student Success Statement

“Honesty is the corner stone of character. The honest man or woman seek no merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless In both action and expression, honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

-B.C. Forbes

Forbes I believe is correct. Honesty and character go hand in hand. When you are honest you don’t only tell the truth you strive to make sure that everything that is right is done. A true honest person stand up for what is right and goes on to make sure that honesty goes everywhere. They also make sure that everything that is true never gets undermined. 

Time management

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time-classes, homework and activities – with some family help. Colleges give you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mail while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produces while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moments and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wonder here and their when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moments, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moments.

Detail attention

Attention to detail

7 of 10

When you double check your calculations for math problems or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any work place, whether you’re maintaining a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write email.         

John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile purist.  He even paid attention to how his player would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

  Detail may be small things, but form small things to details come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“Everyone is their own architect of their own learning.”

-Claudius

This is absolutely right. When it boils down to the thick of it everything is up to you. No one can force you to learn in school. The only person that can make you learn and succeed in school is you the student. Also as you grow and go to college the person that picks what you learn about(what major you pick) is only you. Also once as an adult you can choose to learn or ignore whenever someone is trying to teach you. That is why you need to do the right thing and make sure your building is massive and full of knowledge. 

Under pressure

Cool Under Pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure to even eliminate it is to prepare. Apply the motto “Be prepared” holds true first time and every time. Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore prepare and coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

-Peter F. Drucker

Drucker is very right when he says this. Even though something is acceptable doesn’t mean it is right. What people need to do to achieve greatness is just do the right thing. The only way to do that is when you start something is think what is the right thing to do, then do it. It is  socially acceptable and legal to smoke at age eighteen, however it is wrong to smoke so even though it’s acceptable on my eighteenth birthday I am not going to smoke.

Initiative

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-relentless. Self-relentless people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the intiative.

“Education is a marathon-not a sprint.”

-Anon

I believe that this person is completely correct. Very few are able to just run through and learn everything. Even those who are able to learn quickly take their time to make sure they know everything. However the correct way to learn is through going step by step. You learn the most and get the best results when you take your time and learn just like in life. 

Teamwork Skills

Teamwork Skills

3 of 10

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you'll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing you opinion, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workspace skill.

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, he same objective, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize you talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of education you can’t obtain by working alone.

“The man who has no imagination has no wings.”

-Muhammad Ali 

Imagination takes anything and makes it amazing. Imagination has given man the ability to dream new things and advance himself. However if you have no imagination like Muhammad Ali says you will go nowhere. If you can’t imagine it how do you expect to achieve it? Imagination allows us you spread our wings dream and gives us the hope to become better. I use to imagine going to a state championship all the time. That thought lead me to work hard and now my team is a contender for the Californian state championship for lacrosse.  

speaking skills

Speaking Skills

2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswritetoday.com/news/17334/

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers, or just communicating one-one with others. You’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently

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.

writing skills

Writing skills

1 of 10

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patents charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specification, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you'll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every post you write on your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”

-Confucius

What this quote is saying is that if you do not do what is right even though you are given the opportunity mean you lack in courage. I believe this is very true. If you do not stand up for your beliefs or what you think is right who will? When you are in a situation where you see what is right the only way to prove you have courage you is to do that thing and show everyone.

During the test Read the directions

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer each question first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

Answer every question

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question, you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions

If a question isn't clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

“Improve your performance by improving your attitude.”

-Anon

This is very true. Everything in life is 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical. When you are able to master your mind and think positive you are able to accomplish anything and everything. If you are pessimistic and only think of the worst and don’t try nothing good will happen. However is you think you can and stay positive only greatness will happen.
