Importance Of Academic Success

Waking up in the morning, going to sleep at night, and doing what one loves in between, is what success means. That, to me, encompasses being able to help people and possibly save lives as a career. There is a nobility in succeeding in certain areas one cares deeply about. Having the ability and capability to protect and serve is a strong desire within me. Developing my education, in order to further my success something that I perceive as a crucial aspect of being able to do what I love. Attending Endicott is the first step in this journey of mine.

Success is a word that really hard to define, because everyone will have a different definition for this word. In fact, there no exact definition for the word "success". For a student, maybe the success means to pass all courses of the semester; for a business man, signing a importance contract and get a lot of money are successes; and for a president, leading the country to develop and make the people have a better life are success. For me, I also have my own definition for the word "success". When I was a kid, I really want to be a scientist, but after I become mature, my thinking has become more mature and my definition of success also

Although student-athletes are supposed to be attending college to receive an education, for most their academic success takes a back seat to athletics. Due to the athletic stressors placed on student-athletes and the demanding time commitments they have, it is difficult for them to get the best academic experience possible. It typically takes the average student-athlete six years to graduate rather than the normal four years and 88% of all student-athletes obtain their degree by the age of 30 while the average student graduates by the age of 21 or 22 (Brown, 2011). The Adjusted Graduation Gap (AGG), a model that compares athlete’s graduation rates by conference as well as compares them directly to the rates of non-athlete students at the same institution. According to the AGG, in most conferences,

What is success? Is it the process of doing a task and receiving a positive result acceptable amongst the community, or is it simply achieving ones own personal goals? Success to me can mean many things. Although I am successful in school, that does not necessarily mean I will lead a successful life.

Success is more than the definition that society has created over the course of the years. Being successful in society is very different than actually being successful in my opinion. Success in my opinion is having the courage, strength and the ability to work hard towards your goals no matter what. Also at the same time being humble and able to appreciate what you have accomplished by not bragging your success to someone who is lesser than you. When I was young, I always wanted to drive a brand new Land Rover and live in a mansion with my husband and kids. I was always going to have the latest and greatest inventions and wear the best clothing brands. I would make sure that my kids had everything that they needed and make sure that I

What is the definition of success? Success has many definitions for some it is having a job for others it is having a lot of money. To succeed it takes hard work and dedication that is why a lot of people fail. Everybody has goals success is achieving those goals. My goals are to graduate college with a bachelor’s degree, to become an accountant, and to supply for my future family.

A different form of success is family. Most people grow up with a family, usually parents, and maybe siblings, but eventually they grow into wanting to start their own family. Firstly, they set a goal of finding

Our success is defined by our own intentions and motivations. We often make our own parameters to measure success. Having a college degree, building a house, owning a brand new car or marrying a pretty wife, are some of the most common goals that we associate with success.

Success is within the individual mind and expectations. The definition of success differs from just one person’s interpretation of what success means. A large block of life is spent working to become successful: acquiring an education, being able to take care of family, achieving a life’s ambition, or making money. People are told throughout childhood to work hard so they can grow up and make lots of money. Everyone aspires to be successful at whatever we are doing: starting a new business, repairing the car, writing a term paper or practicing basketball. Every bit our efforts are directed at achieving success. Success is not the end; it is the journey we take and there is no right or wrong idea of success.

A practical virtue that I feel is very important for everyone to exemplify especially students is that of ambition. For students this virtue can be directly applied to their academic pursuits. It’s important for students to be committed and passionate about their studies. Though, ambition can quickly be tilted off of its perch on the golden mean. If a student is too ambitious and tends to have perfectionist like qualities it becomes much easier for that student to get frustrated quickly when he begins to struggles. Once this strong sense of frustration kicks in the odds of this students decided to give up are immediately heightened. This is an unhealthy amount of pressure to put on oneself, and this mentality can be very difficult to detach from once you have sank into its clutches. On the other hand if a student is content with passing with the minimum requirements, then it is quite likely that that student will not retain much of the information that was covered in his class. It is important for a student to be driven in their pursuit of knowledge, but they must find the proper level of ambition to make sure they will have the highest chance of succeeding.

When talking about success most often people think of actors, millionaires, etc. Coming from a small town, a not so wealthy family, and being a first generation college graduate, that’s not what success means to me. To me success could be as simple as getting an A+ on an assignment.

Ever since we are born we are told by our parents, relatives and friends that in order to be successful you need an education. Our parents are constantly doing everything that is in their hands to ensure our future. Coming from parents that were not given the opportunity to get a proper education, they have enforced and prioritized education in myself as well as my siblings in order to have a better future. Most, if not all of our parents want us, their child, to be better than them, to achieve better things in life. There is one thing that we all have in common, that is our desire to be successful. Now the idea with the word success is that it can be interpreted in many different ways, depending on who you ask. I personally view success as being financially stable as well as spiritually. When thinking of a person who I viewed as successful, I thought of my friend Airam. I have known Airam for about five years now, if not more. Airam has been a nurse for a little bit more than two years now. I recently asked her how did she view success. Airam described being successful as being academically, economically and self-accomplished.

There is no other place in the world like college. Although only a few people are able to take on the phenomenal experience, not all are able to successfully finish. There is probably no other period of time where students will have more choices, more free time, and as wide a range of activities while also having to remain focused in their classes. In The Freshman Year At An HBCU, Kelly DeLong documents the lives of college students attending a HBCU to explain their expectations and accomplishments, as well as their failures and conflicts during their freshman year. The book provides a guide for freshman readers on what to do and what not to do by revealing the mistakes and successes of the college students interviewed. Freshman readers should be able to relate, respond and learn from each interview in their own specific way to understand how to reach academic success. In order to ensure academic success in college, students must manage their time effectively, choose their friends wisely, and communicate with professors regularly. Each topic is important because they will lead to success in the classroom, a social life and getting through a long first-year.

As a student myself there were many ways that I thought that you can do in order to become successful, but after I did my research on the different ways students can become successful I came to a conclusion that I was wrong and that it takes more work and dedication to become successful and to accomplish the goals that you want. In order for Anaheim High schools to improve on student success the following changes have to take place: In order to increase student success at Anaheim High schools need to spend more time in school, and by motivating students to work hard and not just be smart, schools can increase student success, and in order to increase student success students need to spend more time in extracurricular activities. By doing these things in Anaheim High school, we will have a lot of students become successful, not just in school, but in life as well.

Academic success could never be fully measured by degrees alone, but it can include a person’s well-being as well as their mind and certain characteristics about a person that make them unique. This success can be achieved in different ways by these different people with different strengths, but there is the same ultimate goal in sight of each and every student enrolled in college at some point. However, this goal of being successful in not only school but in life, can sometimes turn out to be the opposite of how we plan. Of course, a student can achieve success by earning degrees and still fail in life. Academic success can also be a huge constituent to a students vocational calling in college as young students make a transition into adulthood.
