Student Success Statement 

"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow." 

Robert Kiyosaki 

What this quote means is that in order for you to start to have a bright future you need to start now! There is no excuse for tomorrow, you need to start now if you want to have a successful future. For example, take me for instance. I am barley a freshman in high school and I have already accomplished some tasks in order for me to go to a good college and better future. I have been elected the first ninth grade president of the this school year. I am trying out for my school's first football team. I also have straight A's! So, as you can see, you don't start tomorrow; you start today and right now! So, choose the right and start your own amazing future and make a bright one!

Improve Your Study Skills

SQ3R stands for:

Survey

Questions

Read

Recite

Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills.

In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·       Read the title, headings and subheadings.

·       Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·       Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

·       Read captions.

·       Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

NEVER 

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil."

Ayn Rand 

(novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

What this quote means is that you should never ever choose the wrong. Choose the wrong also refers to evil! You never want to choose evil. You also want to be something better than evil because you are choosing to represent yourself as a terrible person. So remember this, always choose the right rather tah choosing the wrong! CTR!NEVE

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re 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've read the texts 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 yourself, to the teachers, and to others, is 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 immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand you 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.

"When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."

John Wooden

What this quote means is that you never quit. Even if you are outnumbered, you still continue and fight for what you stand for. Let no one ever step on you you. Yes you may fall, but remember this: you will always pick yourself up afterwards! So as long as you defend yourself, you should be outstanding. And by doing this you will always choose the right!!!

Tip 3: Do Research

Literacy Critics have written vast numbers of analytically and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular test, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.     

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.
