Student Success Statement
“To be great—concentrate.”
Orison Swett Marden

This is an amazing statement by famous author Orison Swett Marden. To accomplish something you must always concentrate. Everything that seems promising incorporates concentration as its key element. For example, let’s say that Richard wants to pass his end of course examination, but does not concentrate when in class and therefore at the current moment is failing this class. If Richard begins to concentrate and indulge himself in his studies then he will be able to succeed, but it will require concentration which he will discover to be his adversary. Since many know that concentration is the ability to devote your effort into something of your interest no matter what is occurring around you (i.e. reading when everyone while others are disrupting the classroom.) Then why do many find in complicated to concentrate? Concentration is difficult when you have other aspects of your life attempting to prioritize, but if you disregard those aspects/ situations for a short time and prioritize what is of importance then you will succeed.

Student Success Statement
“Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.”
Herbert Kaufman

This is an amazing statement by Herbert Kaufman. Persistence is an endearing quality that is of great importance when trying to achieve an ambition. Courage, diligence, initiative, and persistence are all important when trying to achieve an ambition, but fail. What is failure? Failure can be defined many ways. In our case, failure is the ill attempt in completing an ambition. If you do not complete something then should you overlook the ambition and move along? NO, failure allows us to better ourselves and evaluate the aspect(s) that made you unable to complete your ambition the first time. With all of the qualities listed above will serve as a figurative rehabilitation center where courage would inspire you to persist in the completion of the action and where diligence and initiative along with your ambition will generate motivation and allows for victory.

To succeed in high school and college, you may have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about what 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 your course work and grades. For example, even though all your 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.
