Student Success Statement

“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.

“When an archer misses the amrk, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim improve yourself.”

-Gilbert Arland

Accept your mistakes. Always look at yourself and see what you can do to improve yourself. What you can do to reach your goal. In basketball when you take a shot and you miss, its not the fault of the hoop, but yours. Maybe you could have bent your knees a little more or used your wrist more. Look at the mistakes you made accept them and improve them.

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

-William Matthews

I agree with Matthews statement. You have to put all your energy and mind to what your goals. In order to be successful you need to stay on track, you can’t put focus on anything else. In college there will be many distractions such as parties, but you need to concentrate in your goal graduating. If you give your attention to the distractions you will not be successful. Stay focused at all times to be successful. 

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Habit 4

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once I won’t step on you but I won’t be your door mate either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the better that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all- you-can-eat buffet.

Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Loose and Loose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts.”
-Mr. Haymore

This statement has a lot of truth in it and all people should keep in mind. It is not where you do things that count but the things you do. All that matters is how you do things, because how you do things is what will affect or matter to you and others. For example, if a student living in Huntington Park try’s his/her best to enroll in a good college and a student in Malibu doesn’t give it his/ her all and slacks off, the person from Huntington Park will have the benefit because he/she gave it her all. It will not matter where but HOW you do things will.

A successful student . . . .
.  .  .  takes responsibility for his /her own learning
Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all –of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience – this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensure success in an online course!
.  .  .  . is comfortable and confident with written communication
Reading and  writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.
.  .  . is willing to be a member of an online community.
