Student Success Statement

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If you lie then you are taking the wrong path. If you always tell the truth then the success you are looking for will soon come because of your good deeds. Never tell a lie not even when trying to not hurt someone feelings because when the truth comes out it will hurt them more to know you lied.

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

 When you double-check your calculation for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail, That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to tend consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall education attainment.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

-Peter F. Drucker

You should always do things that are right first because those are the things that people judge for. If you do it just because it is acceptable it doesn’t mean it right. So always do things because they are right not because they are acceptable.

 

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own courses through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Student Success Statement

“The man who has no imagination has no wings”

-Muhammad Ali

If you don’t have creativity you will never get to the point where you think of a big goal you can try to accomplish. No wings mean you aren’t able to fly up and reach your goal at the top.

Speaking Skills

2 to 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Hard work does.”

-ANON

You can’t be a good student first then have to work to be one because it doesn’t make any sense. You always must work for what you are trying to do either if it’s to pass a test or get a nice job that you like.

Online Learning

Part 1

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·    Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·    Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicated that the site is biased.

·    Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·    Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-Liane Cordes

It doesn’t matter if you are super strong or you’re very smart. To find your potential you just need yourself and not anybody or anything else because all you need is yourself to find out who you are in life. So don’t think that if you’re not the smartest or strongest that you are nobody because you ARE somebody you just need to find yourself.

It’s Online but Is It on Target?
Part 2

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·      Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·      What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·      Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·      What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·      Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·      Where did the author get this information?

“Be quick, but don’t get into a hurry.”

Do things as fast as you can so you may continue with other things you may have. But always make sure to do things at the fast paste that will let you do things correctly and not messy and careless. Always do the right thing and never the wrong because consequences will come out if it.

It’s Online, but Is It On Target?

Part 1

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You’ve probably used the Internet to do research for paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust. Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell reliable sources from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself.

Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target.

To improve your aim. Improve yourself.”

-Gilbert Arland

If you miss aiming at your goal you don’t just give up because the first time didn’t work out. You have to keep trying and find that one special thing that inspires you to pursue your dreams and goals. So never give up and continue to fight for your dreams.
