Do you want to achieve a good GPA? Studying is one of the areas any student has to master in order to succeed. Having good time management skills and a to-do list will be a bonus. Therefore, when studying it is good to start with difficult or boring subjects first. In addition, be aware of your best time of the day to study.…
I am currently taking ACA which is a college level class. This class will help me prepare for test, taking notes, and managing my time. So far I have learned how to do each one of these a lot better than before. I feel like when I get in college I will be prepared than I would have been without taking this class.…
My grades this past year were and are not indicative of who I am as a student, or as a person in general. My junior year of high school, I decided to do PSEO, thinking it was an easy way to get credits for both high school and college. I did not realize the struggle I was going to have just trying to be accountable for myself during my senior year. My daily schedule consisted of work, soccer, managing the high school boy’s hockey team, volunteer work, spending time with my high school friends and taking college courses. I took the most challenging classes through Anoka-Ramsey Community College, thinking that like high school these would be the best for me.…
Imagine waking up to a dreary day. Clouds fill the sky, and you rumble through your routine for school. Walking through the front door, you see the sunlight thinking it’s a good sign that the day won’t be as gray as you thought it would be. But, you have a concussion, and this means that peak of sunlight, has given you an instant headache before your first brain-draining task of the day. Most people think of a concussion as a minor headache, However, it is a serious head injury experienced by many, and it alters the focus you most take for granted.…
prepared. I wanted to prove to my instructor, Judy, that I can do it! Throughout the semester, I was surprising myself with my capabilities of learning the content and being successful in my exams. When I received my first exam in that class, I was in awe of the grade I got because I wasn’t expecting it from me, I thought I was barely going to pass the exam. With just that first exam, it gave me the power to push myself to succeed.…
Coming into my junior I was not happy at all. I was very depressed and did not want to be around no one. I felt like everyone was against me and I just was not happy with life last year. I was not focused on school at all.…

SMART KIDS GO TO TUTORING. Everyone wants to have all A's on their report card, but is it extremely that easy? A teacher named Mr. Jupena believed I could go far in life, so he once told me a short story about his life through high school. He said that through high school, he was an A student, but always took the easy way out, and in his senior year of high school he was failing calculus, and had to go to tutoring.…
Your commitment to school is like breakfast. If breakfast was ham and eggs, are you the chicken or the pig? To make ham and eggs, both the chicken and the pig have to make commitments. The chicken is committed to laying eggs for the breakfast. the Pig’s commitment is much greater because it has to die to get the meat.…
Three years into my high school I hadn't gotten into the state of mind that most over achievers have. I had floated through high school thinking I was trying my very hardest to get good grades and become a consistently studious candidate of my school. However, no matter how hard I tried I failed I gave into all the distractions and used all my obstacles as excuses became frustrated and developed an attitude problem that I had created myself. Being a consistent 2.5 student wasn't satisfying or inspiring. Uniquely enough, I had decided to take challenging courses my junior year.…
Richie. I simply learned and took in so much information that day, and I realized that it could benefit myself on the test. Before I saw it coming these finals came along, and those endless frustrating study sessions would come to an end. I had several exams from different subjects that I was worried about, but I was not nearly as worried about them as my math final. In the end of these exams I did pass my final exams with a fairly decent percentage although, I had that one final exam to worry about and that was the math final.…
Achievement is something we as humans crave. When you accomplish or achieve a goal, the overwhelming emotion of pride is indescribable. In my family I was raised on the belief of doing the absolute best that you can do no matter what obstacles are placed in front of you. If you ask anyone in my family they would say I am determined to show that I am a talented and accomplished young man. The way that I show my accomplishments is through the goals that I set for myself.…
After about a month of going to tutoring, I finally brought my grade up to a B by the end of the semester. One of the most important parts of facing your problems head on is to never give…
I did succeed in making my grades but by the last months of the semester I realize that the stress that came with procrastination wasn’t worth in ad I started working on time management. In high school the words time management are repeated but never really explains. I grew up hating the simple idea of time management, but I have since learned that is means balance. It is easy to think of staying in and doing nothing but studies, but true time management is the balancing the responsibilities you must complete and the things you want to do. This realization has taught me that I can have a “fun” college experience without forgetting the reason I am at a university.…
