part 2


Work Together
Part 2

English, math, foreign language: For math, all I can say is to do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave your-self plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and into the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON OBESITY??
    
  My thoughts on obesity is that it's not healthy at all. A lot if children have this because of their eating problems and it could lead to damage the inside of your body. The point is that it's not good at all because your being overweight. These people should have diets.

work together part 1

WORK TOGETHER
Part 1

I can and will work as part of a team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I have ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or agents something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really proud and happy for myself.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
“Try a little harder to be a little better.”

Gordon B. Hinckley
This means to me that every kind of effort you put into something;  it will improve depending how much effort you put towards that.

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.
How I succeed in team projects: Personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plane on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the projects, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

tiger woods

Tiger Woods how we see has been going through a lot with his problem of the brother. Apparently the half brother Kevin is suffering of multiple sclerosis and also in danger of losing his home. He's been trying to contact the brother Tiger but he doesn't i guess communicate with him. And to Kevin's words if Tiger were to help him out or even see hi he would probably get better because he is trying to get Tiger's assistance.

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big test, but never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as If I was rested.
How I've overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because of me they are not worth getting really upset about them. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower that I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.
