" your future is created by whas you do today,
not tomorrow"
Roberto kiyosaki


reflection: What I think about this quote of Robert Kiyosaki is that he knows what he is saying because our future is going to depend on what actions or things we do today because it can affect us or not. For example if we choose to full around then our future is going to be fooling around and sad we won’t be able to have nothing and not being happy.

5 Tips for Success

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any question you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.
Asking questions to yourself, to teachers, and others, is a great learning method. When you can cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.
The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the  key to gaining important knowledge and making the most pf your education. so pick up a book..... and a pen.

Tips 3: do research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytic and critical pieces on countless books. If you're having trouble understanding a particular test, do some research and see what knowledge sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: use a dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly,and you'll build your vocabulary at the same time

Tips 1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1.     Focus on high-impact activities
The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

ton determine whats your priorities are rank your assignments in the order of their importance. then rearrange re your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades.

. for example, even thought all homework assignments are important, studying  for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. ask you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college  success. 
2. create new challenges 

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you've been given an assignment similar to one you have done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time.for book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.
