Study Habits When people look at my high school, there are many things that make Sidney High School what it is. The most promenade one being our study habits. Even though the school has prided themselves on being one of the highest scoring high schools in Southwest Iowa, there are still six very distinct groups that the students fall into. These would be your overachievers, procrastinators, and the skippers; all of which have their own individual way of studying. Many teachers know their students well enough to know that they write or perform better when given a specific amount of time.

Procrastinators Another common theme in high school is where the student will put off tasks until the absolute last minute. Notably many times this is paired simultaneously with caffeine, sugar, energy drinks, sleepless nights, and other things that come with it as well. Procrastination starts in early adolescence due to an active and passive resistance to parental authority, which empowers them.

As can be seen you can see there are many ways to learn and retain the information. Depending upon the student you could be considered in one of the three categories; Overachievers, Procrastinators, or a Skippers. Maybe you are an overachiever, who gets everything done ahead of time, or pushing it off until the last minute-Procrastinator, or even not doing anything-Skipper. All of these groups are what makes up anything and everything within our world and we would not be where we are today unless we had a variety of
