The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school courses schedule as a blueprint or your education. They’re looking for of your education.

They’re looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college.

To create the foundation, take at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basics and then move on to advanced courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Reflection: if you are working in a group you will do better because you get help from others not just you. If you work solo there is no more put into.

“Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force.”

Reflection: it means that you’re the one who decides if you want to succeed or you want to fail. Not your parents or your teachers or the school will force you to succeed in life. Everyone has the right to choose the choices but you better choose the right ones. In life there is only a good and a bad path you decide which one you want to go to. You’re the only one that decided either choose the right or you choose the wrong.

                     Part 1

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started trying up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.

My overall study method: structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a religion class the same way I studied for a finance class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class- even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.
