“light and darkness can’t occupy the space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness.”

Call / Haymore

This statement is correct because you can’t be choosing the right and the wrong at the same time, if you choose the right then it will lighten your path with rewards and full of satisfaction, however, in the other hand CTW would make your life miserable, with pain, consequences, punishment, etc. so you can’t do both things at the same time so make your choice wisely and CTR 

Academic Success Part 1

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principle of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones to pick. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was the team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in the class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades: Go to class, make friends in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

“There Is No Pillow so soft as Clear Conscience”

“There Is No Pillow so soft as Clear Conscience”

-French Proverb.-

What I think about this quote is that it has a meaning. And that meaning is to never have a dirty conscience. Have a clean good mind. That way you see and feel better in things. Your mind is like a pillow and if you think and have a dirty conscience you won’t be able to sleep comfortable. Best if you have a good conscience and get a good rest.

How I've overcome an initial bad grade: when receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s harder when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cellphone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Most Alcohol and drug abuse will start in the teens

Most Alcohol and drug abuse will start in the teens

REFLECTION: This habit will produce more and more accidents that could lead to death, and/or may take someone to jail. Teens are destroying their lives by trying drugs, and most probable is  that  their life will be a failure  and they will end up dropping out and working hard at a job where they win the minimum payment. Drugs will just destroy their life and not only damage them but their family and friends too. Teens should choose the right because they are just making a death sentence.

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as I do in college. I feel I; earn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with others. My tests study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different process.

My time management secret: One of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects/tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do massive blocks of about an hour so in order to really learn the material.

“You have only always to do what’s right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

                                                  -Robert E. Lee-                        

REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because when you do what’s right and you make a habit of it, then it will become easier for you to do and you will enjoy doing it too. If you do what’s right it’ll make you an outstanding person. If you do something that’s right and at first you don’t like it, it might end up being one of your favorite things to do and you may get pothers into doing that habit that will help others.

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were visible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said. “For years, I allowed someone I loved to physically, mentally, and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nurse assistant.  After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.
