Time Management 8-10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time- classes, homework and activities - with some family help. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow's produce while planning next week's menu. Someone said, "Wherever you are, be there." Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don't let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment  at hand. You can't go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Attention to Detail 7-10

John Wooden, UCLA's former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Cool Under Pressure 6-10

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world's own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.
The best ways to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto "Be Prepared" holds true first time and every time. Prepare for that test, and you won't worry about it. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

SSS: "Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable." -Peter F. Drucker
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is stating that we should do whatever is neccesary other than what is okay because what is neccassary is is something you must do by force because what is "okay", isn't always really okay its sometimes actually wrong at times.

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own court through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don't procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don't wait be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

It sucked because i was unable to go on the field trip, but it was a funny day because i met new cool people during lunch and the substitute for 4th period was a delight to have because he was funny and weird and random all at the same time. I hope we get to have him some other time :D I loved the fact that the new friends i made during lunch were so crazy and random like me :) That's how you know that you're gonna be life long friends :) Then there was a lot of drama in 5th period do to relationship problems with me and my friend Lupe  :( But since we had each other, we made each other laugh and stay happy throughout the whole period. And now, here i am in 6th typing the period away c:

Student Success Statement

SSS: "Education is a marathon--not a sprint" -ANON
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is stating that education is a goal that you must achieve. not something that you have the choice to choose, but something that you must succeed in.
EXAMPLE: An example is like, if you want to become a veterinarian you must get the knowledge first, you cannot become one simple as that because if you do, you will not know what to do.

Teamwork Skills 3-10

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can't obtain by working alone.

Student Success Statement

SSS: "THE MAN WHO HAS NO IMAGINATION, HAS NO WINGS" -Muhammad Ali
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is stating that a man who has no imagination or in other words, a man who has no dreams, or goals to achieve, will not achieve them because he is not trying to achieve them and cant because he does not dream.(does not have wings). your wings are the helpers to succeeding your dream :)
EXAMPLE: Lets say you want to become a cheerleader, you've always wanted to become a cheerleader your whole life. But have you ever used your wings to help you achieve your dream or take you to your dream? You must dream so you can picture what you would look like and how wonderful you would look as a cheerleader. fly so you could get to it!

Speaking Skills 2-10

When you're assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. It's never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.
According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.
"The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fact of it," said Dr.Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. "People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it."
Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you're running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivation co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you'll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

SSS: "NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF PERSISTENCE. TALENT WILL NOT; NOTHING IS MORE COMMON THAN UNSUCCESSFUL MEN WITH TALENT. GENIUS WILL NOT; THE WORLD IS FULL OF EDUCATED DERELICTS. PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION ALONE ARE OMNIPOTENT. THE SLOGAN 'PRESS ON' HAS SOLVED AND ALWAYS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE HUMAN RACE." -Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States
REFLECTION: I AGREE with this statement because it is stating that nothing but absolutely nothing can change your persistence and those who try to take it away are choosing the wrong and never will as long as you choose the right and stay focused on what you want to achieve.

Writing Skills 1-10

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.
Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity.
