Student success statement

‘’honesty is the corner stone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts but to be scrupulously fair upright fearless in both action and expression booth in dollars and in peace of mind.’’

i think that this means that people that don't do anything that they get into no bad situations and things like good things are always going to happen to them no matter what. because they are not bad people. unless your bad then bad luck will happen to you.

Student success statement

‘’stop worrying about whether your going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.’’

I think that’s this means to focus on things that you’re doing right now. Because if you worry about the future then you shouldn't because it is not happening yet and your supposed to focus on things that are happening right now. the important thing that matters is now because the future will happen when it is time.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

Student success statement

‘’start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.’’

I think that this means that do something that is right first because it is more important than doing something that is acceptable. Because if you do something that is right you can only do it once but if you do what is acceptable you can do it any other time. So it is more important to start off with what is important. For example if you want to do something is either now or never but if it is something acceptable you can do it any other time you have lots of time.

 Student success statement

‘’education is a marathon—not a sprint’’

I think that this means that education you have to be patient and not rush through things because if you rush through things then it will be harder for you because you have to take thins slow and not fast. You don’t have to rush things because you still have a lot to do when you’re done with your education you have to relax and not rush in things.

Tip 5: keep a list of questions

When you feel confused about something your reading write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember teachers create assignments: they read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to you to the teacher and to others is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerse you into the material you are reading and therefore expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher sir Francis bacon said knowledge is power. Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book and a pen.

2. Create new challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to in you’ve done in the past think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.
