Successful Students

1-2

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful students….

1.                       Are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2.                       Have education 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 I am doing here? Why have I chosen to be my presence here mean to me? Answer to these questions represent your “hot buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your success as a college student. If your educational goals are truly your, 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 tire of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t and don’t everything can, and                 will !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
