English, math, foreign language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and in was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

Student Succeess Statement

Student Success Statement

“Try a little harder to be a little better”

 Gordon B. Hinckley

This statement means that you have to work a little harder if you want to be better in life. It’s only the matter of time to get what you want.  For example when you don’t understand something in your math class and you want to obtain a good grade in that class you have to try a little bit harder in order to for you to understand it and get the grade that you want to get. Don’t make your life hard by not choosing the right, make it easy and start doing what’s right.

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in team projects: Personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

Summary/ Reflection

Summary/Reflection:

Famous golfer Tiger Woods neglected his ill half- brother when he most needed him. They say that they haven’t heard from Tiger Woods since 2006. I truly believe that it is really sad how someone from your family can ignore you, it is so wrong that Tiger neglected his ill brother because just because he is ill and is suffering from multiple sclerosis.  He has the money to help his brother but unfortunately he is being a really bad person toward his brother that needs him. It happened kind of the same thing to my mom, her brother which is my uncle made my mom get out of his house at midnight when she got from work, it really rude and cruel from his part because it’s her sister and he shouldn’t have done that in first place, they haven’t talked since 2007 I believe. We shouldn’t be rude to our family, because they have always been there for us and we shall do the same thing. We have to be nice with one another.

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.
