Succeed In Life

Reading the article Lake and von Baeyer (2005) “Tips for Successful Students”, I realize that most characteristics are necessary for one to succeed as a student in any area of life. For example, one must ask questions and take notes in order to interact with the professor and further their knowledge in a particular subject. These two skills coincide together along with the initiative to achieve a certain stardom. One aspect of learning is never lonesome, though it is possible to be additionally gifted in one region over another.

“Just as students have different personalities, they also have different ways of learing (Slavin, 107).” Learning styles are another important factor to incorporate when implementing the best learning environment. Learning styles are defined as an individual's mode of gaining knowledge. The most common learning styles addressed are auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Auditory leaners understand information through hearing. Visual learners need more visual aids in the learning process, such as diagrams, webs, or pictures. Kinesthetic learners learn better by using manipulatives or by being physically involved in the learning process. Learning styles is a piece of the “backbone” of differentiated learning. Both are used to individualize instruction to help students achieve the most success.

I was reading Lake and von Baeyer’s article on “Tips for Successful Students”. As I was reviewing the characteristics of a successful student, I noticed that I have several of these characteristics,for example, I have an educational goal because I want to be able to help doctors cure unhealthy patients, attend to the patient's needs and comfort. My presence being in the classroom means that I am closer to being able to accomplish what I have always wanted to do since I was a little child. There is no better place I would ever want to be than to be in the classroom accomplishing my goal. I am also good at managing time. Although I have two kids, school is in my top 5 priorities. I am able to take time from my other responsibilities to focus

After reading Part one of Change Anything, my initial thoughts on how I could use the science of personal success in my education are to better understand how I can succeed while in school at my highest potential. I understand and have a better knowledge of many influences that are undoubtedly working against me every day that try to ensure I possibly fail, if I allowed myself to. I also found the “willpower trap” to be extremely helpful. Rather than placing blame on or giving credit to my willpower, I should focus more on how I can stay motivated personally and change the many sources working against me. The 6 sources of influence are very beneficial to understanding why failure could occur and how to overcome failure. Also, I now have to

What makes a student a good student? Typically we may think about a book worm stuck away studying in the dark as the “A+” standard. However, is that really what it takes to prosper in education? I believe that being an educated and intelligent person goes beyond book work and requires oneself to be sociable, confident, accepting, and prepared to face challenges. Recently in my senior year I have learned more about myself, and looking at one event in particular, realized how my ability to break a racial divide has prepared me for life after high school.

All learners have different learning styles. Using materials at the initial stage of the learning process can highlight preferred styles. Honey and Mumford show four learning styles – activists, theorists, reflectors and pragmatists, while VAK highlights visual, auditory and kinaesthetic preferences.

The third question I asked was about what learning style everyone preferred the least. With the results, I learned that everyone preferred the auditory learning style the least. The fourth question I asked was about why they preferred that learning style the least. The results showed that people cannot learn by listening and trying to retain information

Myths in regard to learning are quite common, but it is important to remember that while no two minds are the same, there are still some fundamental things humans are unable to do perfectly. In my opinion, it is just best to focus entirely on the task on hand and analyze it completely to fully grasp what the task is attempting to teach

Next, many general skills one may learn in college are essential to success. For instance, public speaking is a great skill to have. The ability to speak clearly and persuasively in front of people is one of the most important skills anyone can obtain. Dustin Wax explains, in the article “10 Skills You Need to Succeed at Almost Anything,” that for many jobs, public speaking could be an important role. In addition, writing is an important skill for all subjects. Writing well offers many advantages. For example, good writers may excel at selling products and their ideas. Someone with a good sense of grammar has the advantage over one who does not. Finally, self-management is a key skill for a promising future (Wax). Balancing factors of one’s life will dramatically enhance the output of one’s future.

Being able to take in the information that is presented and being able to apply it is a crucial tool that is needed in order to be successful. One of the assignments that we were given in ENGR 1000 was that we were tasked to see what type of learner we were. Everyone has their own unique way of learning and I myself feel that I am more of a visual learner than verbal. There are eight different characteristics on a scale from one to ten which means there can be fifty thousand and four hundred different possibilities. This is why it is important to know and understand what type of learner you are because you are only one of that fifty thousand and four hundred. You could and are very likely spinning your wheels trying to learn things the wrong way if you truly don’t understand how you learn. I can read a book cover to cover and at the end, sometimes I could not tell you what I have just read. After taking that survey I was surprised at how much I was heavily leaning only on visual and not verbal. Just this one alone was putting me at a disadvantage in my education because I was only really taking in half of what I could be. I have started to rely different learning styles so that I can be more we

Most students graduate from high school knowing what they want to persuade in life and accomplish, many other students don’t have a clue about anything they want to do nor persuade so for example, in the article The Pink Floyd Night School by Mark Edmundson, he as many other students after graduating high school didn’t know what he was going to do or study as a career, basically he had no clue of what he wanted. Life experience brought him the knowledge of knowing what he wanted to do in his career life. Edmundson uses many life experiences, as well as vivid examples to expand his argument of why he thinks students should take time off of school and about a year to just relax and

Intellectual skills is (S-V Agr) another important aspect of becoming a good student. This skill includes the ability to read and understand, intelligent use of resources, mathematical and logical skills, efficient study habits, and the ability to communicate clearly and fluently. Intellectual skills include time management, exam strategies, study strategies, and goal setting.

As we all fold the page on an academic year, for some of us this might have been the most important year of our lives. As we end school and prepare our brains for the next phase, we indulge our thoughts in the prize that everyone dreams of, what some would call ‘The Pinnacle of Civilization’. Our minds drift off thinking of Success, and at that instant we tremble, panic and curl into the corner, as the shadow of the obstacles that will stand in our path appears across the horizon. Today, I’ll try to help us all by identifying the critical elements behind success. I am not claiming that I hold the key, but maybe together we can sniff out the truth behind it.
