Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“To be great—concentrate.”
Orson Sweet Mardin


Reflection: I agree with this statement because you can’t be great and accomplish all your goals if you don’t concentrate on them. When you concentrate on your goals you can actually achieve them so you can get on step higher to reaching the life of your dreams. If you don’t concentrate then you are just doing a sloppy job in accomplishing what you want but as long as you do concentrate you  can do anything to get what you need and want in life.

Problem –Solving Skills 4 of 10

Problem –Solving Skills
4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.
When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of our 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 In 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 jus communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly, and intelligently.

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 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?

Student Success statement


Student Success statement

“The first law of success…….. Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”
William Matthews

Reflection: I agree because when you concentrate hard on what you want to achieve you can actually succeed in accomplishing it. Without concentration your dreams will fail no matter how much you think you can succeed without even trying. If you don’t even at least try to concentrate then what’s the point of even thinking that you will be a great person on the future. With concentration you can accomplish your goals little by little until eventually you have achieved everything you’ve ever wanted in life.

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement

“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow”

Robert Kiyosaki

Reflection: I think it’s true that your future depends on the choices you make right now and not tomorrow. The most important time is now, the Present time. The choices you make now will affect everything whether it’s a good decision or a bad one. The choices you made in the past no longer matter or the ones you will make the future. It all depends on the choices you make now because what you do now will soon be future and the past.

5 Tips for Stating Motivated Tips 3-4


5 Tips for Stating Motivated
Tips 3-4

3. Set Attainable Goals
If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network
Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family members who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments
Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.
