SSS: "Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow." -ROBERT KIYOSAKI
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is saying that since everyday you choose the right, or you should choose the right, then therefore, you future will be a very bright future and you will feel good about it since you chose the right. Also cuz you should never choose the wrong. CTR!!!
EXAMPLE: For example, if you always do your work in class and afterschool or at home, then therefore you will get good grades and have a perfect future. CTR!!!!!!
It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. in college you'll be required to do lots of reading. you'll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.
SURVEY: Let's say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing in highlights:
- read the title, headings and subheadings
- notice the words that are italicized or bold.
- look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.
- read captions.
- read the very beginning and end of the chapter.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SSS: NEVER "There is no justification even for choosing any part of what you know to be evil." -AYN RAND
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because there is no right time to choose the wrong and especially no wrong time to say or think that it was right because once you made that mistake, there ain't no taking it back because now you have to deal with the consequences.
EXAMPLE: If you tagged in the school, and got caught and the teacher told you to stop running away, you either could run out the door, or, confront what you've done.CTR!!!
TIP 5: KEEP A LIST OF QUESTIONS
When you feel confused about something you're reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.
Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to the others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.
The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book... and a pen.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!!!
SSS: "When i was teaching basketball, i urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is saying that no matter what we are or where we are, it all depends on what you are doing to choose the right.
TIP 3: DO RESEARCH
Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you're having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledge sources have to say about it. in addition to increasing your comprehension, you'll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condense study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.
TIP 4: USE A DICTIONARY
Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you're reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can't. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don't know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you'll build your vocabulary at same time.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!!!!
SSS: " EVERY TIME I'VE DONE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT, IT'S ENDED UP NOT BEING RIGHT." -MARIO CUOMO (52nd governor of NY)
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it always happens to me when i believe that i did something right, when really, it ended up being the stupidest thing i have ever done in my life.
PERSONAL EXAMPLE: One time i chose the wrong by pushing a little girl of the slide, because she had spit in my face on purpose for no reason, but then i remembered that she was a little so i ended up choosing the wrong than the right. :( CTR!!!!!!!!!!!
