“YOU WILL GO FAR WITH CTR”

T

here are many ways to be a successful student you have to put goals and achieve them. The key to success is to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT and never let nobody put you down. Some examples are to always attend school, turn in all your work when assignment is due, you can also ask the teacher for extra work if you are done with other work. You can also choose the right when you’re not at school like at home or when you are hanging out with your friends. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old to choose the right. If you are with friends or family and you think they are not doing what’s right just walk away. If some people ask you if you want to smoke just tell them no and you will be a CTR kid. Don’t try to be cool around your frends and smoke because they told you to. The answer to that is to walk away and don’t go back. Sometime your close friends can be the bad kids to be with at the wrong time. An example from my uncle’s life is when he was in middle school his best friend betrayed him by telling a lie to the principal for something that my uncle did not do and my uncle got suspended because of his best friend. You should ALWAYS choose the right because that will determine your future. When you accomplish something in life you become a better person. You can succeed in anything if you try your best at it. There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class to become a successful student. You need to take charge of your time and your tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell you what to do.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade. I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies of written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communicate is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A.’s Academic Successful Story

In high school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes takes in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I have very different techniques. For financial test, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marking classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

My time management secret: one of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects tests. I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from them: my overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.
