why do i want to go

                     why do I want to go

I want to got to college to test myself. When I was in high school i struggled and was close to dropping out but I kept going and doing my best and did good. It was hard but it did not stop me from trying. College might be a little more harder but I know I can do it and will not stop until I get a masters degree. It can provide opportunities for me and make my life simple and will not have to struggle on paying bills or worry about eating. Many people drop out of high school because it was to hard or they did not have the support. I came to far to give up, I could have gave up years ago but I kept on moving forward and I am here for a reason.

My presentation went well, but their was some things that could have been better. It was to packed in the room and i was not organized. It was better before when groups were in one room. It was less noisy and more talking involved. Also people were loud so you could not hear what the person was saying because many people were talking. Another thing was presenting some people did not take it serious. They were only serious when a person came by some talked to their friends and some left. Many things need to be improved.

I have to improve on organizniig my work. Because when it was time for the students led conference i was in a hurry to find my work and i did not have enough time to collect all my work. Also to remind my parents more earlier, because i told them in the day of the confrence and they were in a rush to come to my school. Before the confrence i was feeling nervous because i did not no how it was going to play out. But at the end of the day of the student led confrence it turned out to be better than i expected.

Student success statement

''Its not about how to achieve your dreams. its about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way. the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care itself. The dreams will come to you."

                   the importance of setting and achieving goals 
the importance of setting and achieving goals, is to be successful. Without goals there is no point in living. You were born to be the best you can be, without doing things you are going to be a nobody. When you die you want people to say ''yeah i remember that guy, that guy worked his butt off every single day and gave it 120% in life, and never gave up. He did not care what other people said about his dream, because it was his dream.

My student led conference, was good. I went to my classes that i was not doing good in and they told me how i can improve. So my grade can go up. But it was just one class that i went to, because i was only failing one class. I was going to go to spanish, but i was picking up my grade little by little. There was a lot of students going to classes to classes. So far i am doing good in all my classes except for algebra 2 which i need to do better, i have to have a C or better.

By Elvis Presley 
If i could be you, if you could be me 
for just one hour, if we could find a way
 to get inside each others mind 
if you could see through my eyes
 instead in your own ego
 i believe you'd be i believe you'd be surprised to see 
that you've been blind 
walk a mile in my shoes just walk a mile in my shoes
 before you abuse, criticize and accuse 
then walk a mile in my shoes
now if we spend the day 
throwin stones at one another
'cause i will think, 'cause i will think 
to wear my hat the same way you do
well, i may be common people
but i'm your brother and when you strike out you're trying to hurt me
it's hurtin' you, lord have mercy 
now there are people on reservations 
and out in the ghetto
and when they're for the grace of god
or you and i
if i only had wings for a little angel
don't you know i'd fly
to the top of fountain
and then i'd cry,cry,cry

            the pqrst study method 
the pqrst study method. this five step process helps you synthesize reading materials and prepare for test. this is good to do with a study partner or group, but you can do it on your own. begin this process several days before the exam.

1.) preview. look over the course syllabus, your written notes, and headings and sub headings of assigned reading. this provides and over view of the content and concept you will be studying.

2) questions develops a list of questions, including those

• created from the headings
• from your written notes
• discussed in class
• provided at the end of chapters
• given on study guide
• that you have about the topic

for example, if a major heading or subheading is phase of the moon'' then ask yourself, what are the phrases of the moon?
3) read: read the assigned reading and your written notes, and look for answers to your study questions. headings and subheadings should help you guide your search. keep an eye out for other information to add to your list questions. reflect on what you read, and connect new material to what you already know.

4)state: in your own words, say aloud and/or write down the answers to your questions. use mnemonic devices, concept, diagrams, analogies, and/or other study strategies to aid your memory and understanding in this process. a list of study strategies is provided on handout 3.10.3, which you will be receiving shortly.

5. test: answer your study questions without looking at your notes or reading, and then check to see if your answers were correct and complete. your brain needs to absorb and apply new information, so test and re-test over several study sessions.

                   ways to be successful

1.  if you want to be pass your finals you have to study and be confident that you can pass it. studying is important because if you do not study you are not going to know it completely you may know half of it but not all of it.  confident is also important because it is not good to think negative because then you  are not going to be motivated and you are thinking that you are going to fail because is to hard. think positive because you can do it all you need to do is study.

2. time is valuable you can not do much in one day so thats why you have to do what is important first and dont waste time

wake up early. nothing eats away the winter break like moping around beneath the covers. decide the previous days when you will get out of bed, then make sure follow through.

during the first few days of  vacation, chances are that you will relish the opportunity to sleep in. its okay to do this and give yourself a break because your body will naturally put itself on a schedule to wake itself up earlier.

2
maintain good health and hygiene. brush your teeth and bathe often, make sure to use sunblock even in the cold, and remember that the only healthy tan is spray on. winter is a great time to get in shape or stay in shape, consider joining a sport, or at the very least get outside and have fun every day.

3
study particularly if you are high school student studying remains essential even though the school year is in short recess. look over last years notes or do  some research into next year courses have in store. when school resumes you'll be grateful that your academic knowledge and skills have not deteriorated you will be ready and not panicking that you don't know something. most of you  already know if you have homework reading or other research stay on top of it. you will be grateful when you
4
follow a routine however loose the structure will both motivate you and keep hours spent doing nothing to a minimum. dont play to many video games and even if it might be cold go out for a few hours every week.
5
 join a volunteer group of some sort. all communities have some sort of soup kitchen or place where someone might need your help or you can start working on finding leads for the community service you will have to do in the future to graduate you can help out at your church or other place in the city. you will stay contact with friends have a great sense of accomplishment stay active and even help.
