“Try a little harder to be a little better”

Gordon B. Hinckley

Reflection:  This quote by Hinckley is very inspirational. If you are not good in sports… then try a little harder to be a little better. This is referring to if you don’t believe in yourself that much you must keep practicing before you call yourself good. Practice makes perfect, is basically the same thing as Hinckley’s quote. 

You can succeed everyday

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be writing 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 worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work on 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 any time 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 other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that 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.

"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 know. let me not defer or neglect it, for i shall never pass this way again." 
Etienne de Grellet 


reflection: I believe this is a quote everyone should take into consideration. what this quote means to me is that you only live once and while you are alive make sure to choose the right and to always make the best out of what is coming towards you. never should a person neglect helping others or just being kind to others. why because when you come to earth you only come once, however when you are about to leave earth, you will regret all the wrong you did and all the harm you caused  do what is right, because you only live once and you will never again be alive to change what you've done wrong.

EFFECTIVE STUDY METHODS

Part 3

How I deal with multiple project/tests: When I have more than one project or tests, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. 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 more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that own 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 right 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 weeks and my days. If I know I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get things done more 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/bus/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 in things late or not being in classes.

On the first week of my vacations I did plenty of Christmas shopping for everyone. The malls were packed with people but it was still fun.  I also slept for hours and did not wake up until the day was almost over. Why because I have been really stressed and not having much sleep due to my AP classes. Anyways, I also spent a lot of time with my dog Cleo. In the first week I also cleaned because we were going to spend Christmas at my house with all the family.

The second week of school was amazing! It was Christmas and we enjoyed our day with our loved ones. We danced, ate, and partied all night long (until we opened our presents). For Christmas I got money and clothes. My boyfriend and I didn’t get to spend Christmas Eve together; however we did spend Christmas Day.

The third week of vacations was the fun at the beginning but at the end it was not that good. It was new years and we celebrated it at my grandmas. The fun was partying at my grandmas. Hoewever the fun came to an end. I had to do all my homework. I was procrastinating, which I wished I didn’t. now I know to all my homework at the beginning of vacations and not wait til the end.

Effective study methods

Part 1

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 my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to 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 forget something is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repletion 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 on 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 first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those thing you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

Practice à Proficiency à Pleasure

The better you remember the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
