Academic Success Story
In high
school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a
good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in
enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the
material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0
all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an
effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that
changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to
understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general
concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the
classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading
that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes class and
actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough
because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I
make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a
subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what
the material means.
