Summary: Tiger woods ignores his brother because he is more focus on golf and mostly some people do that to like when ever a person tries to talk to that person they just ignores them. So he decided to choose the wrong and not listen to his half-brother. My opinion is to listen to the person that is telling you something cause you have to show respect to them and not to be me mean to them and try to listen to the person that is talking to you cause tell you something interesting.

You Can Succeed Every Day

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
    "I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kidness i can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again."
                   Etienne de Grellet

What this statement means is that if you've done something good, kind to other people it means that you are having a good life, but if you have done something something wrong to people it means that you are not having a better life.

How I deal with multiple projects/test: When I have more than one test project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch fro time a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at the night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. I f I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday; I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make them up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

My test study methods: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old test, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick to you

        Practice--- -> Proficiency- -> Pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
