Summary:

I believe Tiger Woods has been struggling to make the right choices in his life, Everyone needs a reminder every now and then but Tiger Woods has taken it too far, being a multi-millionaire he has neglected his family and hasn’t helped them out financially even though he has the resources to do so. I believe he should help out his cousin whom is in need.

You Can Succeed Every Day

Part 1

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 a test tired the next day I will not do as well as if 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 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, id I do get a 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.

How I deal with multiple projects/tests: When I have more than one test or 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 us some part of a project that I know that will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really into a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at 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 everyday helps me plan out my week and my days. If 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 up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turns things in late or not being in classes.

During my 3 week break I did various things, the first week I mostly stayed at home, resting because it was some well deserved and needed rest. I wouldnt occasionaly go on dates with my girlfriend Jasmin. I played video games alot, slept alot, watched netflix a lot.. id have to say the most productive activities I did during the break would have to be practicing lacrosse and working out. I was being very ambitous because I had All-City travel team try outs during the break and I really wanted to make it to the team, when try-outs came all the hard work paid off and I made it.

Lately ive been working out alot in order to gaint he fitness and stability needed to play Lacrosse at a top level, I have been working out my footwork and balance. I have a tournament coming up on the 12th of this month that I hope and expect to participate in. I really hope we advance into the late rounds and do a great job. Im very anxious and excited, their will be another tournament on the 19th of this month, im hoping to participate in that tournament aswell. The tournament on the 12th is in Ojai, Ca, since it is a travel teamt he tournaments are a fair distance away.

Effective Study Methods

Part 1

My test study method: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those 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 inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, 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 playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better 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 with you.
