Student Success Statement
“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”
Robert E. Lee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee

If you commit an action that will lead to the benefit of many and is overall good in nature then you will be rewarded with immense satisfaction because you did what is right. Doing what is right will be progressively simple if you commit the correct actions more often and it will become much more simple that you would not be conflicted by a proper and by an improper choice. If you commit a proper action then you will not feel any guilt or confliction that would be felt if you committed an improper action and therefore you would be rewarded by your conscience with the satisfaction and approval of your decision. Though committing proper actions can be viewed as a responsibility becuase it sometimes is responsibility that is benefiting for you and for those around you and with practice can soon become an idea that you will always strive for.

Student Success Statement
“To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.”
Confucius

Confucius is establishing an amazing subject in this extraordinary quote. If you know that what has to be done is the correct thing to doing a certain situation and that it is your responsibility to do it then you should, but if you do not then you are the worst of the cowards. Individuals who exhibit cowardice are only exhibiting this because they are afraid of responsibility which makes them even worse than a coward. Once the individual experiences a situation in where they do have to take responsibility for their actions then will they comprehend the values of responsibility.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
Habit 1
(by Sean Covey modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for his/her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters: they don’t wait to be told what to do; they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take initiative.

A successful student…

… Takes responsibility for his/her learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who work and think independently. However, since most---if not all---of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience---this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

… is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructors will be in writing. If these weak areas are for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.
