You Can Succeed Everyday
Part 2
My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline
before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking
about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just
good up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your
opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that related
specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take
ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things
that I have to write because the teacher said so.
How I succeed in team projects: personally, I do not like
working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. However,
when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking
the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in
school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I
need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more
time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way
I know that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of
people who all want to work, then it is a different story.
