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 begun. 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 in 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 form another student in the class. Also, for a subject
such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the
material means.
