Quote

" CTR AND CTW are lessons both needed in life, mostly CTW" --Pedro Bernal

This quote is effective because it's true what I'm saying that both of these roads have life lessons in them and that you pick which one do you want to learn.

"You'll never regret doing what's right."--Anon


I disagree with this quote because it will sometime trouble you, because you'll think about it again and again. Also in certain problem if you choose the right then you also become part of the consequences. So then you'll regret it.

Academic Success Part 2

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort tom get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep it up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

"Kight and darkness can't occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness."  Call/Haymore


I disagree because we HAVE to CTW to CTR because we wouldn't know the difference of each. We would live in a chaotic world were balanca is shifted to one side. CTW is the way to discover yourself as a human. CHANGE DOSESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. Sowe must discover ourself by choosing the wrong. If you just right all the time then it is chaos...the end of the world!

Academic Success Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since needed since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was a team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always help since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign languages tips: math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in this class, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language. Here are my final words of wisdom for student who wants to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

I agree with this statement because when you go to sleep you have nothing to worry about. So you get a good night sleep.

I Will Persist Until I Succeed Part 2

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember u ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.
