STUDENT'S ATTRIBUTE

SEVEN ATTRIBUTES OF A GOOD STUDENT

Goal-driven
Having both short-term and long-term goals will help you

achieve something. Short-term goals could include finishing each semester with a minimum of a 90, 1.75, or an A- for an overall grade, depending on your school’s grading system. Examples of a long-term goal would be finishing with a Latin honor or at least graduating on time.

Inspired
There should always be something to motivate you to keep doing your best in your studies. One could be the hard work or sacrifices of your parents just to send you to school.

Diligent
This means spending extra hours at night to study your lessons and finish your assignments. In short, you need to overcome laziness and procrastination.

Persevering
Perseverance equates with hard work. No matter how challenging your subjects/courses are, you will not give up and settle with mediocracy. You will always exert enough or more effort just to come up with excellent output or performance.

Punctual
A good student is not tardy. Yes, punctuality is hard to maintain, but if you are determined to get the most of your studies, then you will strive to come to school early. This will not only save you from a bad impression, but it will also keep you from missing early quizzes and other activities.

Courteous
Being respectful of your teachers, school staff, and fellow students is a sign that you are more than a good student—you are a good person. Therefore, make it a habit to greet or at least smile at those you meet in the corridors.

Honest
Cheaters do not make good students, so say goodbye to your cheating buddies. Exams are evaluations of your learning. Meaning, it does not matter if you do not get perfect scores as long as you get to assess how much you have learned from a lesson.

HEART OF A GREAT TEACHER

WHAT LIES IN THE HEART OF A GREAT TEACHER? KINDNESS A great teacher shows kindness to students, colleagues, parents and those around her/him. My favorite saying is “kindness makes the world go around”. It truly changes the environment in the classroom and school. Being a kind teacher helps students feel welcomed, cared for and loved. COMPASSION Teaching is a very humanistic profession, and compassion is the utmost feeling of understanding, and showing others you are concerned about them. A compassionate teacher models that characteristic to the students with her/his actions, and as a result students will be more open to understanding the world around them. A teacher m ust take outside factors into con side ration , for example , if a student has just lost his/her loved one, the teacher should be sensitive to that and adjust accordingly . EMPATHY Empathy is such an important trait to have and to try to develop in ourselves and our students. Being able to put yourself...

SUCCESS PRINCIPLE Vol 1

THE PRICE OF EXCELLENCE Excellence is the quality of being exceptional good. For the student, to be excellent is to have an outstanding performance in all subjects. His works are always presentable and impressive to his master. He supplies the right and adequate answers to questions and puzzles. He is thorough in his approach and meticulous in his presentation.

SUCCESS OBSTACLES

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS The way to success is upward on the hill-top and not downwards. Climbing is difficult and tasking but it is the success way. On this way are sure obstacles you will meet. Some of the obstacles are right within you, others around while some are across the way. Looking up at success on the hill-top, your first obstacle is the thought within you – can I ever get there? Won’t I fall if I try to climb up there? This wrong mental attitude at looking at certain subjects, topics and assignments mad a lot of students to have failed. Remove the fear of failure. No student is a failure until he lies down never to try gain. Rough surfaces, stones and pebbles abound on the hill top way of success. Yet you need to realize if the way up the hill were smooth, it will be slippery to climb. Suppose everyone who passed through secondary school and university has just been given certificate without studying, doing assignments and facing examinations. There would h...
