Tiger Woods CTW .


 Tiger Woods CTW!

Summary
:   The one and only famous golfer Tiger Woods choose the wrong. Instead of choosing the right and helping others around him he decided to turn his back on his own blood and not help them out. The half-brother of Woods says they have not heard of him since 2006. They also say they never have asked him for anything, not money or tournament tickets. But now that his half-brother Kevin is losing his home and is having problems and need the help Tiger Wood Refuses to help him out.

Reflection:    In my opinion Tiger Woods is not leaving by the right at all. He should be kind to others and help others in need especially his own half-brother. Woods has chosen the wrong and will regret it.  You should always like by CTR and helping others around you, not neglecting them and being unkind. Tiger Woods should help his brother Kevin now that he is in need.

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not so as well as if I rested.
How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement
I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again.”
                -Etienne de Grellet


In my opinion this quote is very true and everyone should live by it. He is saying you only live once; you cannot go back in time. You bust show your best, do your best, be your best because you only have one chance. You should always be nice to others and choose the right because if you choose the wrong later when you regret it you won’t be able to go back and change it. Live life at your best because you only live it once.

How I deal with multiple projects/tests: When I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time for it to sink in.

My times management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes

My Winter Break


   My Winter Break



My winter break was good and relaxing. I did not do anything very exciting but I relaxed and enjoyed my break very well. During my break I really got to spend some time with my loved ones and enjoy doing things with them. I also had to do some vacation homework that was a little of the bad thing of my break.

I enjoyed spending the time I don’t have when I am at school do to my homework with my loved ones. I enjoyed all the holidays with my family they were great! For Christmas all my family came over and it turned into a great party. There were laughs, dancing, joking, and so much more. One thing I loved from the holidays is I got to enjoy my mom’s delicious food. I also start the new year of 2013 great! We had another family gathering where I got to see my brothers who I rarely see.


My winter break was great even though I did have homework to do. I got my homework done in the first week and a half of winter break to have the rest with stress free.  Even though I did not do a lot over the break I got to babysit my little five year old cousin who I got to bond more. I also had the chance to learn more about her and appreciate her little silly things more. I had a great winter break regardless.

My test study method: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test.  I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forgot something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since the first being exposed to it. So, Practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.
