Coming To School Analysis

The initial shock of the significant workload and expectations can take their toll, but good time management skills can prevent multiple late nights in a row to get assignments done on time. Kelci Lynn Lucier has worked in higher education for ten years, and has experienced students struggle to try and find the balance between extracurricular activities, personal activities, and education priorities. Luckily, Lucier has four tips to help best use the time provided in a day. Lucier’s first step focuses on managing ones academic time and how it needs to be the top priority above all other curricular activities, stating: “It's important to remind yourself why you're in college in the first place: to graduate” (Lucier). Lucier’s second step is be able to manage personal time, she talks about how unrealistic it is to always be working, studying, or learning, she wants students to try and find time to do something fun with friends or a club. Lucier’s third step is to wkeep the students health in mind, it does no good to stay up until two in the morning studying over a history mid-term, only to be half asleep for the test anyway; sleep is important and without can only increase the stress. Lucier’s fourth and final step is to not be afraid to seek help with your time management, she states: “The most important thing to have for time

As an athlete in high school, time management is needed to complete everything on your agenda even with extra-curricular activities in the way. Living overseas, I had the privilege to travel to other countries for athletic events. These events could last a weekend or even a whole week and work will gradually pile up. If we didn’t have it or it was incomplete it will result in a zero without a chance of making the assignment up. In college, I occasionally make time for fun and activities outside of my education. There are several distractions from friends, athletics, to even leisure time that may get in the way from my school work. My education is mandatory and my priority!

Going to school along with having a job can be arduous to balance. Working for five hours, three or four days a week can cause some hindrances. For instance, when I work until about nine on a Wednesday night and have to go home and study for two tests, it causes me to have to stay up late which consequently results in losing sleep. Even though this is a disadvantage when it comes to having a job, I've learned to adjust so that I'm able to accommodate it all. This also has permitted me to develop superior time management and multitasking skills.

Although there are twenty-four hours in a day, most days seem to rush by and people wonder where all their time went. Think about having to work all day, come home, clean the house, cook dinner, take care of kids and then have to still find time to study for a class. Yes, that sounds like it can be very stressful, but if someone has a plan in motion, it won’t seem as bad. Making sure people can set aside an allotted time to study for a certain class each day while help anyone excel in academics. If one has more time to themselves in the morning, then wake up an hour earlier to study, or if ones’ lunch break is a better time, bring books to work to study.

I know you tell me all the time that you would rather be doing other things instead of your work. If you broke up your schoolwork into different days you would also have time to do things you like to do such as playing video games, watching TV, and working outside. Another option that you could try would be to finish it all in one night and then have the rest of the week to do whatever. You may get

Everything is an accurate representation of me as a student except for sophomore year. Sophomore year, my grades dipped do to an unfortunate event that took up lots of my time and focus. During sophomore year my parents were going through with a divorce that was both nasty and prolonged. It took up a lot of my emotional, physical, and mental efforts that year moving my focus from school to my home life. Hearing them argue and yell at each other all the time was incredibly taxing and moving between living with my father and my mother every week was something new. My head simply was not where it needed to be and I often stayed up late at night doing homework and often forgetting to turn in assignments. I spent most of my time away from homes

In regards to my denied admissions, I fully understand the reasoning for the rejection. Considering my latest semesters at Fullerton College my GPA was not up to the requirements and also did not show my strengths as a student. I would like to ask to be reconsidered for my admission.

As a former Breakthrough Student, I, too was a high potential, underserved middle school student. It was great having someone, such as a mentor, or my Breakthrough teachers there to guide me on the path to success. It was amazing having someone tell me that I can do all things as long as I put my mind to it. It motivated me to be the best that I can be. I knew in my heart that it was my responsibility to allow myself to be successful because no one could do it for me. While having amazing leadership directing me in the successful path is a amazing, being high potential, but underserved comes with many challenges, unfortunately.

Students would have a higher success rate if they could focus on their studies opposed to focusing how they are going to pay for them. Students who have to work and go to post-secondary education are less focused on their education compared to those who do not have to work. On average, a student should get between eight and nine hours of sleep which is not possible most of the time. If students have to go to school for approximately five hours per day, do one to four hours of homework, and sleep eight-nine hours that all equals to 14-18 hours of their day. How is a student possibly able to work six to eight hours on top of that? Some will say “Work and school combined makes for a more responsible student due to the extra tasks which forces them to use time management appropriately.” Technically yes, however the human body is not built to deal with so many tasks at once. Work can consume up to 40 hours of additional time that a student could use for either extra assignment time or even extra sleep.

As a student that has achieved a high-level of academic success while staying active in extra-curricular activities and working a job I have faced a daily challenge of balancing the workload. From a social perspective, I feel it is important to be active in a variety of extra-curricular activities; however, from an academic perspective it is critical to put in the time necessary to maintain good grades. Along with that, from a financial perspective it is important for me to earn an income to save for my college expense. It has not always been easy, and through the last few years I have learned some valuable life skills from this challenge.

Looking at your kids report card and seeing all A’s will make any parents proud of their child. Sometimes that isn't always the case. It's hard to balance school, work, and getting sufficient sleep. I know from experience working a full-time job. There’s been times i’ve worked three days during the week and both days on the week. Afterword i’m rushing to get write a paper and complete worksheets from my other classes. I’m not only one;

The first step to prevent an immense amount of stress caused by school work is to purchase a planner of some sort. Throughout my freshman and sophomore year, I neglected to purchase one and consequently forgot a majority of my homework on a daily basis. Near the end of the school year, I was fed up with running back to the school to pick up one simple sheet of paper or a heavy textbook. I bought my planner on Amazon, but many girls tend to purchase them from Lilly Pulitzer. If you find yourself strapped for cash however, most high schools (including Henry Clay) provide them for free or an extremely low price depending on whom you speak with. Planners allow you to make a note of upcoming tests, projects, and homework on a daily basis. By having a constant reminder of your daily tasks, it becomes nearly impossible to forget. It also allows you to be more likely to study for a test because it will constantly be shoved in your face.

Throughout a majority of my academic career, I was a straight-A student. My grades were an extremely important thing to me; I reasoned that my grades were representative of my success and if I didn’t earn an A, then I was a failure. I cried and called myself a failure when I received my very first B. Catching my first glimpse of the B for the first time, my heart sank. ‘All of my hard work - for nothing!’, I thought to myself. I didn’t believe that I could have done better. After the second B, I considered that perhaps grades weren’t as important as I had originally thought. As time went on from my first B to my fourth, my heart sank less and the tears dried up. I began to notice the things I was doing wrong and used that information to turn

It is significant that students have a sense of stability between working and attending college classes. To some, having a job creates a meaningful work experience that can positively reflect on having better academic achievement and success. For others, it causes stress and anxiety, because they often neglect the person whom they should be most concerned, themselves. Also, it is commonly seen that students feel pressured about paying off college funds, which shifts their focus towards working rather than their grades. Students need to be aware of their emotional standpoint, which means taking time to be organized and in good mental

Ardent motivation, spirit, and faith will be emphasizing with this very challenging life being a student. The impact of being a working student to the academic performance are dual, 1st, it depends always on the motivation and behavior of the student towards to their studies. Many of them, when it comes to their school performance they are excellent, for the reason that, they use strategies and methodologies on how to study their lessons in the middle of the hectic and rush schedule. Diligent and being wise in this provocative challenges is so essential. 2nd, some of them becomes lousy when it comes to their studies because they are tired form work and the effect they will get low performance and grades.
