“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

-Robert E. Lee

Practice choosing, and doing the right so it will then come natural to you. Make decisions that you know will take you in the right direction, and help you achieve something. Doing things often, practicing them only makes you better at them. If you continue to always choose the right and do the rights things in no time you will be an expert on doing what is right. A similar idea to this is when you learn how to ride a bicycle; you keep practicing and practicing until you become an expert. Practice the right and live happy.

 Take Advantage of Any Free Time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IN ON A CARD.

Study with a Friend

Get together with friends and classmates and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

-Davy Crockett

We shouldn’t rush in making decisions, because in a moment of rush; frustration we often make the wrong decisions. This quote can also apply to what you say, be sure the information you are going to say is correct and then go ahead and say it. You should always be sure of being right when speaking, because after speaking you cannot take it back. An example can be when in a moment of anger you are discussing something with a group think twice and make sure you are correct, before stating something because afterwards there is no turning back. Think twice make sure you are right and then take the next step.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your character is portrayed in everything you do and say. Your character is in what society will judge you from sight. Many can say your character is higher than your intellect because it is what is reflected out of you. An example is in a complicated situation, the way you react is your character, and other seeing will judge you by it. Hold yourself high; because it’s your character portray yourself as you want others to judge you.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·        Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·        Build study habits that are essential in college.

·        Prepare for your classes.

·        Get a sense of progress

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

Know Where to Begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the Same Time Everyday

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.
