Becoming a successful student is perhaps the most mutual goal for every college student, regardless of grade, major, or occupation. Students easily obtained such a goal, especially those who entered college fresh from high school (as opposed to those who return to college after an extended period of time), but for some such a goal can elude them, either from personal faults or an almost natural inability. The latter category believes that being successful requires additional, demanding hard work and studying, while others believe that success comes to one naturally. As a response to such a unwise attitude and as an analysis of myself (and subsequently, my shortcomings as a student), I will elaborate upon the critical behaviors a student must

The lack of studying for tests and assignments, as well as being paired with faulty timekeeping, has greatly injured my grades.) As previously explained, a good student should avoid absence unless a true emergency arises. One’s presence is a high priority because they are actively engaged with the professor; they take notes and are in constant interaction with their professor both during and after the course. Keeping this strong relation with your professor can be further reinforced by taking time to ask questions about the material and future assignments. Additionally, a student should make every attempt to find time with a tutor if their teacher is unavailable (this tip was heavily emphasized by two of the academic advisors, Mr. Ralph and Ms. Morgan, both of whom were spoken to on Dec 2nd from 1:01 pm-1:06 pm . Furthermore, they also advise the reviewing of the course syllabus as to know when assignments were due and what is expected of myself as a student.) Adding to this, successful students have the habit of doing their homework which should be done at the earliest possible time (the failure to do several assignments as well as merely scheduling a quiz retake has tremendously affected my grade.)

Good habits, as the ones mentioned prior, will prove most useful, whereas bad ones will, undoubtedly, result in unsatisfactory results, which was the case for myself. It up to the student to decide which set of habits to follow. Either they follow a qualified and professional manner which can not only benefit their grades, but also follow them into their careers, or watch the ones with such habits achieve success and build their future while they wallow in self-loathing over their failure to follow such rudimentary, yet effective conducts. By following these habits, any student, new, returning, or even myself, can become a successful
