“Be always sure you’re right, the go ahead.”

Davey Crockett

Reflection: This statement is really true. You must first be sure that you are right before going ahead. You have to believe in yourself and know you’re right before doing something. For example, before joining the army you must be sure that you want to go and will live up to the extremes and expectations of a solider, then after making up your mind you can go ahead and peruse that dream of being a solider. Before doing anything, make sure you are right, choose the right and be sure that you’re right!!!

Keep Things in Perspectives

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keeps your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others to relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize he Information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw picture or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work the best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

“Character is higher than intellect”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: Ralph Waldo Emerson is definitely right. Character is way higher than intellect. You may be very smart or even genius but if you have a bad character that gift is put to waste. It’s all about being smart and doing what’s right. For example if you are a very highly intelligent person but you have a very corrupt character and use you smartness for evil, then it’s a waste of you being smart. Character matters a lot because it makes you who you are. Both intellectualness and character are important essentials in making you who you are. Choose the right and have a bright character!

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·        Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·        Build study habits that are essential in college.

·        Prepare for your classes

·        Get a sense of progress

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the Mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

Know Where to Begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the Same Time Every Day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.”

Robert E. Lee

Reflection: Robert E. Lee is very right. It is better to do the right and suffer than choosing the wrong. Working very hard all day long is a great example. You might be working and suffering from exhaustion all day long just to support your family and yourself, but you are doing what’s right and not stealing from others or robing like other people do. It may make you suffer, but in the long run it will benefit you. Doing what’s right may make you suffer but it will all pay off in the future. Choose the right!!!
