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, you make
the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without study time. You
can sit there, act bored, day dream, 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 sitting. The choice is yours.
2.
Have educational goals.
Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they
represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s 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 “Hot Buttons”
and are, without a doubt the most important factors in you success as a college
student. If your educational goals are truly yours, 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 them often, especially when you tire
of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t then don’t, everything
can and will!
