Personal development attribute

Behavior

Def: the way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others.

Reflection:

 This attribute I chose because I feel is very important. Why you may ask well how you behavior is determines how your day goes. If your behavior is angry then all day you will be grumpy and giving everyone attitude. That's the other thing your behavior leads to your attitude. They basically just not help but rely on one another due to being very similar. This as well had to do how you conduct yourself in other words your behavior. If your behavior is positive then most likely your day will go very well . It all depends on you and how you want your day to go on. For example you get into an argument with your friend but thing were interpreted wrongly and you talk to her calmly and respectfully then screaming or yelling back and your behavior turning angry things will be talked out.

"Decisions Determine Destiny"

"Decisions Determine Destiny"

 - Thomas S. Monson

Attribute: decisions and  Destiny 

Reflection:

What this attribute decisions means is the act of deciding or making a choice. An the attribute Destiny is a path that awaits you in your life. Therefore both of these combined means making a choice for a path that await you. With this you could assume that what you choose to do in a minute or your lifetime can make the determination of what the future will bring you. For example one day you wake up and you feel like not going to school yet you remember you have an important exam its your choice to whether you get up and go to school or stay home. At the end your decisions is what will affect you. This quote relies to our planning book due to all the goals we have on there are my choices things i personally decided on making goals.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

This basically means that one with a smile is one can brighten someone else day. You never know what one goes through and I'm sure you yourself when your feeling depressed wants someone to be there to support them and care for them. So one should show the care back because it really does help when one knows that others are there for them. For example if you see a friend looks down ask them whats wrong to show you care and I'm sure they would appreciate it. 

Boldness

Boldness

not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring: a bold hero.

Reflection:
 Boldness is the act of bettering your strengths yet fixing your weaknesses also of doing self-reflection. It's like being a hero you have to be brave and have courage to inspire other to do the same. If you are fearful other will have fear as well its just being bold. Also of holding high standards and achieving excellence. For example if you know the answer to a question a teacher has asked your classmate be bold and help them out instead of being shy. Boldness is confidence to say and do what is right.

Period 4 accountability

Accountability

Def:

the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility

Quote: 

"At the end of the day we are accountable to ourselves - our success is a result of what we do." Catherine Pulsifer  Reflection:  What this quote signifies is that us ourselves are in charge always of out actions and doings so whether the end of is a positive or negative result we are the only ones to blame for it or contribute to our well done choice. No one else but we are better to know what benefits us and soothes our life. For example let's say one day you have two choice either go to school and get your education or ditch with your friends to an amusement park your choice will determine the route you take. Either you stay in school and get done with day or go to the amusement park and have assignments and grading delayed. Your choice is not to blame on your friends but you because we ourselves decide what is most important and are responsible for our doings.

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is integrity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and a chart of their own course 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 to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

5 tips for staying motivated

Tips1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you rarely care about the work you’re doing.  Here are five ways.

1.  Focus on high-impact activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are rank your assignments in the order of importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2.  Create new challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

After class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlights and use symbols to sort through the information, if you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you've reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves you r memory of the material for the long term and for test down the road.

How to Get Your Class Notes into Shape

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying hard and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can help you do both. Here are the basics.

Stay Organized

It may seem obvious, but your class notes can only help you if you can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to:

•   Keep all your notes in one place.
•   Date and number pages; keeping them in order makes it easier to understand them later.

Before class

Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly. Bring a list of any questions you may have.

Distance Education: Is a virtual Classroom for You?

Positive aspects of Distance Education

•  Independent and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing you time efficiently.
• A flexible schedule: School can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.
•  Advanced and specialized classes: Some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn't offer. Under some circumstances, you can enroll in the class- through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options rural areas and for AP courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose cay considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “For example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”

Voicing your goal to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both- work and study- successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

• o   Am I an organized person?
• o   What kind of study habits do I have?
• o   Do I make good use of my available time?
• o   Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility- and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

Like many high school student, you may want—or need –to work part-time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important considerations

You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take on a part—time job. It’s important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.

Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of job you would like.

Success in AP can also help you in other ways. AP helps you stand out in the admission process and offers the opportunity to learn from some of the most inspiring teachers in the world. Learn more about the AP program.

For more help in choosing courses

Use college search to look up a specific college’s academic requirement to be sure you are on the right track to attend the college of your choice.

 If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teachers or adviser. There are many recourses to help you with this process, and with achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for that which you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working hard until you actually do reach your goals.

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music, and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their artistic abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

Advances Placement Program (AP)

To be sure you are ready to takes on college-level work, enroll in the most challenging courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research consistently shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success and college graduation rates than students who don’t take AP.

Work hard in your righteous pursuits, and you will reap the benefits of self-fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.
