“Continous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-Liane Cordes

The effort you put into something oversees anything else. Yes your intelligence and strength will help in some situations, but your effort is what will push you to succeed. If you are preparing for an AP test, yes your intelligence will be helpful and important but if you do not have the effort to study, to review to push yourself to go the extra mile, what good is your intelligence? Continuous effort will help you meet your goals.

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?

Part 1

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class – through distance learning.

 Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.

For you, it might mean doing self- tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1, 000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Success in AP can also help you in other ways. AP helps you stand out in the admission process and offers the opportunity to learn from some of the most inspiring teachers in the world. Learn more about the AP Program.

For More Help in Choosing Courses

Use College Search to look up a specific college’s academic requirement to be sure you are on track to attend the college of your choice.

If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources to help you with this process, and with achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for that which you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working hard until you actually do reach your goals.

“Success is dependent on effort.”

    -Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Success will lead you far in life, but you cannot be successful without effort. Everything you want to accomplish not only success depends on your effort. The effort to be someone in life, to prove others wrong, all the effort will lead you to success. If you want to achieve good grades, you need to put in effort! If you don’t put effort into your grades no one else will and your grades will suffer.  Put in effort in everything you do to become successful.

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

      The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space—usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

      For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

      When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying.

      Have a routine for where and when you study.

      Choose reasonable and specific goals you can accomplish for each study session.

      Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

      Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

      Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

      Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do”

-Alex Linares

When choosing the right, things always go perfect. When you choose the wrong negative things come in consequence. How can you go wrong by making right decisions that make your future positive? You can’t! You should always choose the right because that decision will lead you to positive paths, to successful paths. A way of choosing the right is, helping, your friend study for a test instead of going out to a movie. By helping your friend, you helped yourself review for the test as well and you helped someone better themselves. Always choose the right when you are confused, because you’ll never be wrong.

“Try a little harder to be a little better.”
            -Gordon B. Hinckey

“Try a little harder to be better” is just a statement than can be proven to be true. You should always try harder to be better. You will not be better if you don’t try. To accomplish success you must work hard. In my opinion, I agree because last semester in my classes I really pushed myself and tried my hardest and I did do better I accomplish what I wanted. You need to always try in order to be better. Give it your all !

You Can Succeed Everyday
                                           Part 2
My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.
How I succeed in team projects: Personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I work on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.
