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.

A TEACHER

WHO IS A TEACHER? Many people believe  a teacher is just someone who teaches in a classroom, little do they know that a teacher is much more. I will take time to explain more on who a teacher is as we read on. A teacher is commonly known as someone who teaches i.e. in a classroom. A teacher is very necessary in the educational system because if we have no teacher, the coming generation would be left ignorant. A teacher is a pacesetter. Who is a pacesetter? A pacesetter is someone who gets good examples for others to follow. A teacher sets the pace in many areas; Educationally, Religiously, Morally and Socially.
