Read Lake and von Baeyer's article, “Tips for Successful Students." Also, review the characteristics of a successful student as explained in the lecture. As you consider these, which is your strongest characteristic? Why? How will this characteristic help you to become a successful student in your program of study?

One of them being conscientiousness. Conscientious people are very driven and orderly. They set goals and firm plans to achieve these goals. Rarely are they spontaneous or disorganized. My score within the Big Five Personality Profile was moderate for conscientiousness. I would say that I do exhibit some of these characteristics. I can be very organized and reliable. As a weakness, I find that I am not always a self-starter. I will set goals and stick to them, but need that push from others to get started. For instance, I was given the opportunity to work on an exciting new project at work that involves direct feedback from employees that I would personally deliver to upper management. This would be a big responsibility as I would be representing hundreds of employees and voice the current concerns of our group. I was asked to think it over. While processing the position, three others volunteered and I lost out of the opportunity. I took my time and wasn’t as organized in my decision making, therefore I missed out greatly.

The next characteristic is leadership. Leadership is helping, guiding or leading others to reach a goal. I'm a leader not only in school but outside of school as well. Outside

Every student is different, from how they learn to how much effort do they put in when studying. But with the right teacher guiding them to success, nothing is impossible. So, how do we motivate the future generation to succeed in school? The Perils and Promise of Praise, by Carole S. Dweck. The author focus on how to motivate students to succeed in school.

- A attribute is the quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something for example, being polite. 2) List 8 attributes you have and describe why they are important. • I'm determined to get the job done this is good for the employer because it shows that I am determined to make sure I work hard not to make sure I get the job done before deadlines. • I'm an independent work this is good for the employer because it shows that you can work hard by yourself, so you can work hard at home and at work. • I'm polite; this is good for the employer because you can speak very nicely to employees and clients.

I believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.

The third is clear communication. Clear communication is vital when you are running a business. Having clear communication means everyone knows what is going on and exactly what is expected of them to ensure the success of the business. Ethics is also a very important characteristic of success as the boss or manager should never ask an employee to do something unethical otherwise it is going to become a place that people don’t want to work at. The fifth characteristic is goal setting for team members, which would be set by the owner of the business. This is done so employees not only know they have to climb the mountain but also how it is supposed to be climbed. Without knowing employees are going to become lost at some point. The last characteristic is continues development of team members. This includes development of skills and personal development. This is essential in a business as the owner want to employee someone and see that 6 months later there has been a change in the work process which is needed in businesses such as Muzz Buzz and McDonalds. If a business can tick all of these boxes they should be halfway there!

The first area I found characteristic to be important was in an organization inside Boy Scouts. The organization, Order of Arrow, is designed for the Boy Scouts who have shown extraordinary

I would like to state that every characteristic listed is extremely important. The two that I view most critical are " inquirers" and " caring." It is stated in the profile that inquirers nurture their curiosity, develop skills for inquiry and research, learn independently and with others, and retain their love and enthusiasm for learning throughout life. Those that care show empathy, compassion and respect, have a commitment to service, and act to make a positive impact in others and in the world around them.

Mrs. Burke talked about the ten monthly character traits: responsibility, kindness and caring, respect, fairness, perseverance, integrity, teamwork, cooperation, empathy, and honesty. I learned that when animals are abandoned somewhere, the owners expect that the animals to survive by themselves in the wild or be picked up by an animal shelter by coincidence.

Being a successful student may involve some of the characteristics such as: organization, time, studying, and believing you can achieve.

A second characteristic is the aversion to depending on others. I have found that in group projects, I would much rather complete all the work instead of relying on others to contribute because I know that it will be completed correctly and satisfactory. Again, regarding to living with roommates, as frustrating as it can be to be the only one cleaning and making sure the apartment is somewhat presentable, I believe that it is the only way that it will be done properly and to my standard.

To become a success in life, we all need to learn to become a good student in every aspect of life. Becoming a good student takes much work and self-discipline. There are many ways that a student can stand out from the rest of the class. These good students are distinguished by their attitude, intellectual skills, consciousness, and achievement.

Everyone can be successful in life but it requires some responsibilities. Success doesn’t happen right away, so it takes time and patience’s for things to fall into place. To have a successful life you must work hard to get where you want to be, it can’t just be handed to you for free. One thing is to never give up on your goals or dreams you want to achieve. When you accomplish great things in life it feels great. A successful student needs to use self-discipline and making wise decisions.

Students who excel in class and are successful throughout life have something in common which is much more important than accreditations and high test scores. Through the use of analytical, practical and creative thinking skills they are able to face life’s greatest challenges. Every educational institution has good and bad students, so in order to boost your chance at success you need to surround yourself with the good students. Noticing patterns can help you see the differences between students, for example; the students who show up late everyday, those who never take notes, those who always procrastinate and those who never contribute anything when they are in groups.
