Work Together

Part 1

I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for Cwriting. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

Summary/Reflection Tiger Woods

Summary/Reflection Tiger Woods

My opinion on this story was sad. The reason I think this way is because how are you going to ignore your own brother your blood. That is just mean and selfish like if he was a brother just calling for money well that’s something different but the man is sick and Tiger Woods can’t even pick up a phone call to see how he is doing. Things like this is what’s wrong with this world own family members just ignoring each other it even makes me sad. Furthermore, family is always first but I’m guessing Tiger does not have any feelings. In conclusion, if he was my brother I’d sure help him out in whatever kind of way even if I didn't have money I would find a way to get the money to help out my family. So you should always have feelings maybe he isn't even happy with his own life that’s why he is acting like that but that is no reason to ignore a family member in such a hurtful way!

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 do as well as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I 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 do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, 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

I believe this quote is true because many people go through this. Its meaning is that you only live once in a lifetime so never regret what you know is right well really what you are doing is right. If you want to be nice to someone go for it you are not doing wrong you’re doing something right. So never think wrong if your doing something good. You can relate to this quote because you only have one chance in life to make something great big!

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 there is some part of a project that I know will not take 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 much 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.

We went to Circus Circus which was fun and we walked down Las Vegas Blvd. I also ate a lot like tamales and pizza and chicken I think that was the best part of my winter break was eating I love eating . Getting up late was the best part and staying up late watching movies and eating popcorn. The presents were the best part about Christmas which is when you get your presents and I got lots of them too. I really can say that I enjoyed my winter break no more stressing out about school.

My test study method: When it comes 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 for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forget 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 eh better you can remember it. Loom 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 things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.
