"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."
Robert Kiyosaki
We live and learn everyday, there are some things we add to our knowledge and some things we let slip past us. Our future, depends on what we act on today. If you don't study for a test chances are you won't get a good score. But if you take the time today, and just put in an extra 30 min of your time, thenthat will help you for the next test.

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills
In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll
often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for
several different courses at the same time.
SQ3R helps you make reading and studying purposeful and

Although it seems harsh to be separated by such a large divide, it is a line that should be avoided. There is no grey area, and people today try to mix the two side to make some middle ground.

5 Tips for Success
Tip 5
Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions
When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write
down any questions 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 texts 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 the teacher, and to others,
is a great learning method. When you 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 and 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 of your education. So pick up a book…and a pen.

5 Tips for Success
Tips 3-4
Tip 3: Do Research
Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and
critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a
particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable 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. Going the extra
mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.
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 you
vocabulary at the same time

5 Tips for Success
Reading and Writing go hand in hand. The better you
understand a text, the more likely you are able to successfully communicate
your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills
in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.
TIPS 1-2
Tip 1: Annotate
Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text,
take notes about important story elements, key factual information and
significant ideas in the text.
Tip 2: Not the Author’s
writing Style
Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods
to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading,
look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a
repetition of key words, phrases or symbols—or the use of a distinct type of
sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers
comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these
techniques create meaning.

The Three Don'ts
Don't whine
Don't Complain
Don't make excuses
-John Wooden
When there are thing that must be done, there is no use in hindering the process of their completion. What is done is for a purpose and should not be taken for granted, or unappreciated. Don't whine because in actuality its just a waste of breath, if you really wanted to stop; you would've already. Don't complain because nobody wants to hear it, the only person who is pessimistic is the complainer. And don't make excuses, the lack of commitment in the end effects not only you the most, but if you play on a team of any kind, you should be able to support your end of the deal.

5 tiops for Staying Motivated
5 Tips for Staying Motivated
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.
Focus on High-Impact Activities
They 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. To determine what your
priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange
your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on
your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are
important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph
for English class. As 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 the one you’ve 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.

Take advantage of Any Free Time
If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time
to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash
cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are
a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the
upper left had corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash
cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash
cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate
ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT
TO REMEMBER PUT IT ON A CARD.
Study with a Friend
Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other,
compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.
Communicate
If you have concerns
about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your
family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you
need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

"Character is higher that intellect."
--Ralph Walsdo Emerson
If character is higher than intellect then personality is above education. I have mixed reactions for this quote. Although character is very important, the mind's ability to retain information and use it to warn future generations is equal if not greater. It depends on a vertain situation if character is held higher than intellect, like in social issues. To gain and attract people's attention, you need charismatic personality and characteristics that in some cases is held higher than intellect. But in most institutions intellect is held in high reguards. In some places it still exists and should to keep a higher standard of living and sociality. If all falls to characteristics then there will be a decrease in education and the will to stay aware of surroundings rather than being known for being nice.

In the case of Robert E. Lee standing in the side of the confederates, he stood for what he believed in. Many other white Southerners followed him as he lead them onto the battlefield. He believed that he was doing what is right, and in turn he would not feel any regret or guilt for his actions. Although there may be pain and suffrage, he confessed that it will all be worth while.
There are several examples of this may be in sports as you train. There will be day in which you dare not show to practice because of a temporal pain.

Most recently I had the Linda Marquez Soccer Banquet; which included the Boys' and Girls' soccer team. This ceremony held for both Varsity and Junior Varsity. Everyone was dressed, and well groomed(unlike practice) and we enjoyed each other's company. The LMHS Cheer leaders had a performance for us and parents were just absorbing the atmosphere. Then the JV teams went; first girls and every player got a medal with their name on it, and a certificate. Their coach was not present because she was burdened with another obligation at work. Then the boys JV went and their coach spoke for a long while. He gave his back story of his career and how he came to be the coach, and like the girls received the medal with their name and a certificate upon the stage.
next it was the varsity teams. The Girls Varsity team walked upon the stage and our coach said a few words of endearment. The season went well and our middle Christina was awarded with the best mid-field, and Johanna our left wing, was awarded the best offensive player. Kudos went to them for their accomplishments. Then s few were left and I was left last. Then my coach presented the MVP award. I was astonished. I had never won any recognition like that in my life and it was a prideful moment for me. The trophy was heavy and I became teary-eyed. But the best part was the MVP award was MVP of the Central League! AMAZING!! That really put the cherry on top.
I showed my parents the award, as a team we all danced a bit and walked off stage with a grace, because we also won Central League Champs our first season! It was so awesome! Then the Boys' varsity continued with the ceremony and their head coach had many things to say about them. They all got medals and certificates once again and then Miguel Valle was awarded Best offensive player with 11 goals, Ruben Renteria was awarded with the Best Defensive Player, and Luis (Goalie) was awarded with The Central League MVP as well. It was a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves.

written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence
structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online
access with reliable equipment. If your Internet communications at home isn’t working,
you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where
you do have access to the internet.
Decide Whether It’s Right for You
Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be
for you. You should really seek it out and give it a try. You never know until
you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education
may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for
everyone. So carefully consider the needs and interests and give distance
education a try; then decide if it’s right for you.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education
·
Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators
argue that both teacher-student and student teacher contact are essential to
learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in
class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences—but it’s
not the same as being with other students in a classroom.
·
Different levels f quality: Many
distance-education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others
may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure its rigorous
enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation
before enrolling.
·
The need to self-start: Distance education lets
you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this
might not be the ideal educational setting for you.

Speed Walking
Speed walking is not a highly known sport in the olympics. There is much restraint and technique that gois into the demanding sport. In the olympics there was a new champion for race walking, coming from Italy we had seen Alex Schwzer collect the gold. Being triumphant in this event, he was not shy to claim and celebrate his prize.
Soon the next day he went to the officials since there was a priblem. How could a gold-medalist have a problem? As it turned out, Schwazer was using illegal substances. Blood Doping is what he admitted to. There was a great reaction when he had come out honest with the truth.
Although he cheated, he came out with the truth at the end. Returning his gold medal he was relieved that he admitted to this crime of cheating.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer.
Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class- through distance
learning.
Distance education means taking a class without being
physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets
students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost
anywhere.
Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning
credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves.
Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP
courses.
For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the
evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other
high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Additional Tips
Although working and going to school is challenging, it can
be a rewarding experience if you use some forethought. These tips can help you
handle the situation and make the most of your time:
·
Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing
the demands of school and work is easier with their support.
·
Start Slowly; Don’t commit to working a lot of
hours immediately.
·
Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and
work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
·
Use your time efficiently. You can use 10
minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your
job has a lot of down time and your boss had no objection you can use slow
periods to do schoolwork.
·
If you commute to your job on public
transportation, bring your schoolwork with you, to work along the way.
·
Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You
may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school
and commitments.
·
If you have too much time on your plate, admit
it. Then cut back as needed.
·
Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some
downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Spring Break
Over the Spring Break i did not do much. I mainly stayed home did homework and spent time with my family. I had a soccer game on saturday in Irvine and we won 9-0 it was a fairly easy game.
Marion Jones
Marion Jones was a phenomenal performer in the 200 sprint. In the 200 Olympics in Australia she won the the gold medal for her event. She was excited and ecstatic all as once. In her perfect performance she had a small crack in her victory. She cheated. Jones used performance-enhancing drugs to better her performance. She went from hero to zero in a matter of years. As being an athlete, you expect all to play fair, but she was not being a honest person. She had lied to federal officials about her performance-enhancers and had her medals taken from her along with jail time. Not only does this reflect badly as her character, but it also reflects badly on the country. To represent something grander than you and to give it a bad name is shameful to the person and the face of the country. but as all people are faulted, she wasn't the first to commit such a crime and she wont be the last.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses
students choose are considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep
their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, ”For example,
student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time
during their performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times
of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students
who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must
keep that reality in mind.”
