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 improve 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 presence here mean to me? Answer to these
questions represents 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
Choose the right
