¶ … Academic Success
I truly believe that my strong capacity for leadership capabilities is one of the things that will no doubt instill me with high amounts of academic success. One way that I feel I am able to exhibit strong amounts of leadership is via the fact that I don't panic under pressure. The longer that I've been alive, I've come to realize this is actually a very rare and important quality. The calm and steady demeanor that I am able to exhibit as a leader is something which can help keep others calm in high stress situations, and guide all of us to the most successful outcome of all.
One instance when this manifested was when I was traveling in a foreign country as a 17-year-old. Travel can be stressful enough: there are cultural and language barriers that one has to constantly overcome. It can be an intensive challenge and quite overwhelming at times. Thus, when something goes wrong during travel times it can be especially stressful and scary to so many involved. In this case, five of us got separated from the rest of the group, and we all had to somehow find our way back to New York. This seemed like a formidable task since none of us knew the language and we didn't have any parents or guardians around...
I clearly saw that this was intensely problematic. I saw that such events were just going to cause us more problems in the long run. In fact, I was able to realize that if the hysteria continued, it would only act as a direct obstacle toward our safe return.
I realized that I had to attempt to use my speaking and language abilities as best as I could, along with my knowledge of timetables and maps. It was his leadership initiative that was able to keep us together and allow us to travel safely. Another way in which I was able to continue to maintain the role of group leader was by keeping everyone else calm. As I saw this panic start to fall upon the group, I knew that I had to be the voice of reassurance. I kept reassuring members of the group that everything was going to be okay. I made sure that I repeatedly stated how we were going to get back to New York just fine, safe and sound, and how there was nothing to worry about. I immediately noticed that the calmer and more reassuring…
Promoting the Success of Aboriginal Students in Today's Education Aboriginal education has experienced significant developments throughout the first half of the 20th Century because of the establishment of several learning institutions and programs that primarily focus on providing Aboriginal students with a Western education. During this period, several federally-funded schools such as mission residential schools in remote regions have been established to help ensure these students obtain Western education. These efforts
Personality and Academic Success Personality is very important to academic success. Everyone has a unique personality and he or she must identify it in order to know what is the best method for to study. Learning approaches are not the same for everyone, because of differences and personality is a major factor in that. As Kiss, Kotsis and Kun (2014) note, there is a relationship between intelligence, personality style and academic
Gabrieli asserts that schools use time in an outmoded way: schools used to take summers off because children would help at the farms to bring in the crops in the old days -- or because summers are hot and school houses need to be cool; but today these are not really factors (Koonce, 2016). Therefore, according to this side of the argument, time can be better managed and -- in
Academic success is the foremost goal of all who enroll as students in educational institutions, particularly for tertiary-level education. This necessitates cultivation of many skills, including superior communication skills, and most vitally, the ability of synthesizing information and filtering it for key, relevant knowledge (Ellis, 2015). Thus, this paper assumes the view that academic success continuance involves the aspects of planning, learning style knowledge, effective written communication, academic integrity, and
Personal Responsibility and Academic Success There are many determinants of academic success. Indeed, a review of literature indicates that those who excel in academics have certain traits that their colleagues lack. One such trait is personal responsibility. In basic terms, personal responsibility has got to do with being accountable for one's actions. This text seeks to highlight the direct relationship that exists between personal responsibility and academic success. The Correlation Between
Standardized Testing Investigation Academic success has been measured for decades by scores on Standardized tests including the HSPA, CAT, MAT, and SATs. Recent studies have held that too much weight is assigned to these tests and that certain higher education institutions have gone so far as to stop considering standardized test scores. The question addressed in this study is if standardized testing should be stopped. Standardized Testing: The View of a Veteran
