Successful Students
1-2
Successful students
exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as
intellectual capacity. Successful students…1… are responsible and active.
Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for
their own education, and are active participants in it! Responsibility means
control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts
control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, and you make the
choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing
study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or you can
actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of
their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the
former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class
to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The
choice is yours.
2. …. Have educational goals. Successful student have
legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent to terms of career
aspiration and life desires
Ask yourself these questions: what am I doing here? Why have
I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What
does my presence here mean to me? Answers to these questions represent your
“how buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your
success as a college student. If your education goals are truly not someone else’s
they will motivate a vital and positive academic attitude. If you are familiar
with what these hot buttons represent and refer to then often especially when
you are being a student nothing can stop you if you aren't and don’t everything
can and will!
