Reflection

That is just sad when a rich brother ignores needy and ill brother. Tiger Woods is ignoring his brother Kevin Woods and Kevin has multiple sclerosis and is in danger of losing his house. His brother said that he has never asked for tickets or for money. He also said that he called Tiger Woods to see if he would answer and he didn’t either he wasn’t there or he just ignored his call. Either way that is sad to neglect your own brother while he is losing his house, has no job, and has multiple sclerosis. Earl Jr. said he just wanted to slap tiger and wake him up

You can succeed every day    part 1

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 to do it. I will have longer sessions on night before big test, 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.

Student success statement

“I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this this way again.”

Etienne de Grellet

What Etienne was talking about was that we only have one life and if we do good or bad, let us because we only have one life and we choose our pass to either go to victory or be bad and stay on the side line

How I deal with multiple project/tests: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other one in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I so have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professor, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes

Vacation

       What I did these 3 weeks was, I went to my cousins house and we played a game called head bands. The game is played by getting a card and you can’t look at the card but you have to guess who you are. We also went to Malibu and we walked there for 4 miles because we went to go see a really nice rock that was far from where we parked. For Christmas and new year we went to my aunt’s house and we played games and we ate pie, ham, chicken, mashed potatoes, and chips. Also for Christmas my sister got a puppy, she is small and her name is cheetah. She is a Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix.  I had a lot of fun during the vacation I just wish it was a little longer

Effective study methods part 1

My test study method: when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what the teacher said. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old test, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or the final. Flash cards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaces rehearsal. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “oh no, repeating something.” you need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practicing rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you. The better you remember, the more you pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
