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 text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to 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.

“Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”
- Mario Cuomo

I think this quote means that when YOU feel in your heart that what you’re about to do is wrong and not the right thing to do but still do it – the result will end up with bad consequences. We must break down choices we have to make in life into two: the pros and cons. Of course, if there are more of cons than pros then it wouldn't be smart to follow through.

5 Tips for Success

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

Tip 1: Annotate.
Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.
Tip 2: Note the Author’s Writing Style.
Every author has a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases, or symbols – or the use of distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

"The Three Nevers." Never Lie, Never Cheat, Never Steal.

- John Wooden 

I think this is a great saying. The reason why is because we shouldn't lie, steal, or cheat. It won't make us any better. We won't be trusted, you can get in serious trouble with the LAW, and worst. It doesn't cost you to follow John Wooden's saying. It is very simple.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2

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 really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

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 their 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 mid-term 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.

Tony Farmer; he was a Basket-Ball Player. He was free out in the court, being healthy, playing against a rivalry - choosing the right. Instead Farmer was in Court, Court meaning with a Judge and Police Officers. He fainted as he received the news he was going to spend 3 years in Prison. He chose the wrong and he was facing ugly consequences.

The choices you make will determine of the future. If the choices you make don’t bring bad into your life then your future is secured by not dealing with bad consequences.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education ~

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

• Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences – but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.
• o   Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.
• o   The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not be ideal educational setting for you.

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”
-Woodrow Wilson

The meaning of this quote is that we should and can fight for our right. We won’t fight for the bad or the things that can hurt us – but what will benefit us and make us all champions. Fighting for what is right is how you can earn honest respect. Choosing the right is fighting against choosing the wrong. Defend yourself from someone who is choosing the wrong by choosing the correct.
