An Ideal Student

I think this would be more applicable to this site because most of the members here are students. I was once a student like you. I experienced most if not all what you have experience. The stress and the rush are always part of being student. Lessons are from here and there. Attend class every day. Meet with friends and classmates. Study lessons and make assignments. These are some of the activities that a student should have. Passing or failing in the class is part of the game. But what are the qualities that a student must have in order to pass or make at the top? Do you have these qualities? If don’t, how do you acquire such qualities?

Actually being a student does not always mean that you have to study everyday always and you have to focus yourself only into studying. Studying is part of being a student. You are called a student because you have to study. Study what are the next lessons to be taken up and be prepared always. Although studying is necessary for students but you will not learn if you force yourself of what you do not want. That is why learning or studying should be accompanied by fun. Learning should be fun. Enjoy as a student.

In this dynamic world, it is clear that many things happen every minute. Change is always there. You have to grab the opportunity to enjoy changes around us. By these assumptions, we have to do things balance. Always study makes a dull boy. We have to socialize.

To fulfill the life as student, you must be part of different co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Study shows that most successful people are those who are active not only in academic but also to activities beyond academic aspect. This is really true because through participation in different activities in school will enhance your knowledge how to deal with real situations and manage the true purpose of what you are studying. These will also serve as the venue for you to apply what you have learned in the four walls of your classrooms. You don’t have to get only theories but also application. Most companies are looking more on your competencies on the actual performance rather on the theories you’ve learned in school.

Is it not boring that you are always inside your room with books around you? Is it not weird? If you are more on theories you become very idealistic and will not accept the imperfections of the world. Sometimes the theories you have studied is not always applicable to real life situations. An ideal student is the one who knows how to balance academics and non-academic activities. Too much or too less of something is not good. It should be fair. Equilibrium is always the answer. As students, start to begin with involvements in different activities while learning and I’m sure at the end you will feel the satisfaction you are looking for as a student. Learning is fun. Begin balance student life this school year. Aja!

Habit Towards Study

All learning, however, is a process which settles into certain steps. Students with learning problems, however, may still have generally inefficient and ineffective study habits and skills. Becoming aware of your learning style will help you to understand why you sometimes get frustrated with common study methods.

In these challenging times, the thirst for learning with knowledge creation as its primary goal will be utterly overwhelming. Fueled by the rapid developments of technology, socialization, and globalization, learning is the essential component of all success. Learning must be the dominant responsibility of all students for their eventual success comes from it and its application.

Basically, you study because you want to learn and you want to fulfill your aims or ambitions in life. Thus, you should be mindful about doing your duties and responsibilities such as taking quizzes, reciting in class, doing homework, and submitting term papers, case studies and reports. A good grade should not be your goal. The truly serious student does not "study for a grade." His goal is to learn the information for use throughout life. Grades are simply a measure of how well he has learned. Good grades come to you as a byproduct of the true goal of learning the material.

Effective study habits are a very import part of the learning process. Good study habits are all about keeping to a daily routine and giving all subjects equal treatment. The facts, ideas, and principles you acquire from these could be your weapons in facing future challenges. If your study habits are weak, take a "study skills" course or have someone show you good study habits.

However, let us remember, too, that your purpose in learning is more important than what you learn, for it surely propels and drives us to crave for more. An efficient working method will serve us through life, but many of the things you learn will just be forgotten. Yes, you will forget some of what you have learned. You all do. But the more of it you have "locked into" your head, the better off you will be. Also, it will be a lot easier for you to relearn what you may have forgotten, when that becomes necessary. Being systematic about study will do a lot. Habit then comes to your aid.

According to one of the Chinese proverbs, “Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.” This is one of the treasures that cannot be taken from you. A successful author wrote, “I enjoy learning and I learn easily. I am keenly interested in the skillful application of my innate knowledge that unfolds and the practical knowledge I acquire.” His awareness of his potential expands as his knowledge progresses and his skills improve.

Evidently, there is that demand for each one of us to discover everything the world has. The problem is that many of us feel that what you know all there is to know already and that you can be contented with the way your lives are going. The determined person, on the other hand, knows the application of what he learns allows him to become considerably closer to his goals.
