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.
