Walk the Talk Reflection

Walk the Talk

Reflection:

This slideshow was about doing what you will say, “Walk the Talk.”  In order to have the courage to “Walk the Talk” you need to have different skills. Some are to have honesty, integrity, courage, loyal, respect, commitment and other good qualities. By having these skills, then you are prepared to do what you say you will do. If you have a dream that you want to accomplish, all you need to do to be able to reach your dream goal is to do what’s right and be committed to yourself in getting all the work done to get there.

Student Success Statement

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

-Albert A. Montapert

This statement means that anything you do in life, consequences will always happen. Depending on the choices you make, the consequences you will receive. For example if you decide to make the correct choice in studying for a test, then you will receive a good consequence, or reward. The good reward or consequence will be that most likely you will pass the test. Another example of making decisions is when you choose to do the wrong choices. For example if you don’t study for a test, the bad consequences will be that most likely you won’t pass the test. Whether you choose the right or choose the wrong decisions, there will always be consequences as your result.

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·         Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·         Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·         Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·         Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that in unclear.

·         Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

"Success is dependent on effort." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Success is dependent on effort.”

-Sophocles, Greek dramatist

I agree with this statement because when someone wants to be successful, their success will depend on how much effort they put in to get far. If you truly want to become someone important in life, then the biggest step to do is putting effort on your work. When putting effort, you will be rewarded with a better future. You will also be rewarded with a happier and peaceful life.

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

·         The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space—usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library

·         For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

·         When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·         Have a routine for where and when you study.

·         Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

·         Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

·         Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

·         Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions

·         Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Effective Study Skills

Jenna Huff Sportsmanhsip

Summary:

This story was about a high school girl showing sportsmanship during an Olympic committee. Deb was one of the fastest racers. She had prepared herself a lot for the moment of the final race. She was ready to start her biggest and important race. When she was almost at the finish line, she got a pain; she couldn’t continue on. Another racer, Jenna, who wanted to catch up to Deb in the race, finally caught up to her when Deb stood there in pain. The biggest and important show of sportsmanship was when Jenna instead of finishing the race, helped Deb finish the race. Jenna pushed Deb to keep on going so she can win. Jenna didn’t care about winning, she “Would rather be disqualified doing something good than doing something bad.”

Reflection:

I think that this story was very interesting. When Jenna helped out Deb, she demonstrated what Good Sportsmanship is. I think it was very nice of her helping out Deb finish the race when Deb was in pain. The important thing is that she helped her out without wanting any reward back. She didn’t care of being disqualified; all she cared was for Deb being able to finish the race as she would if she had not had that pain. This comes to show that there are people in the world who do really amazing things to help others.

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of a college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·         Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

·         Consider what time of day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your study accordingly.

·         Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.
