Student Success Statement #88

Student Success Statement

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning."

-Claudius

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to decide what their learning will be like and not let others decide for them. If people let others decide what their learning will be like, then they will not learn the way they want to, therefore, they will not learn much. Sometimes all it takes is to decide for yourself how you want to learn.

Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently, therefore be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizon, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Social Studies

You can better understand local and world events that are happening now by studying the culture and history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:

Ø U.S. history (two semesters)

Ø U.S. government (one semester)

Ø World history or geography (one semester)

Ø One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign Languages

Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basic. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be challenging but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.
