Student Success Statement

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

Reflection: If we goof around today tomorrow we will do the same, that’s why we should just choose the right today so that tomorrow we will choose the right, and the next day the same.

Example: Martian Luther King, he choose the right he talked about his dream, he kept doing it for a while and good came out of him choosing the right one day. 

SQ3R

Improve Your Study Skills

SQ3R stands for:

Survey

Question

Read

Recite

Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time. SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how thus strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·       Read the title, headings and subheadings.

·       Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·       Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a master piece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each & every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.” –John Wooden

Reflection: We should always practice, strive to get better for one day when things go bad we would know and do something good and listen to our conscience.  
Ex: When Kobe has a game he practices hard to do good that day.

Student Success Statement

The Three Don'ts
Don't Whine! 
Don't Complain! 
Don't make Excuses!      - John Wooden

Reflection: John wooden taught not only his players but his everyone not to make excuses if they got caught doing something bad, not complain when they got caught, not whine when they got caught. Just accept the fact that they choose the wrong and got caught. 

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 project 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 email, and get a snack. Then move on to the next project.
