13.   Think about what characteristics in a university are of most important to you (climate, environment, degrees offered, size, location, etc.) before making a final decision about attending college. Visit them if possible.
Advice from university of Portland students
1.       “ I think the most important thing to let high school students know is not to overlook anything. When I was in high school I often asked myself. ‘’ why do I need to know this?” then if I didn’t think it was pertinent, I wouldn’t bother to study it. But in college, all those seemingly unneeded tools come together in the real life ( e.g.: finding an interesting of those two lines in algebra is later important in cost/revenue calculations). In the way of classes, learning to read and write well is very important. The focus should be on the format and clarifying ideas in writing, and being able to pick out the important parts of writing ( the testable facts). Volunteering and joining clubs are important

                     Part2
Habit 7: sharpen the saw
3) Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass- it gives you direction and discernment. Just like s magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.
4) Soul: study scripture and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feel just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.
Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Student success statement
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
                       Helen Keller
What this success statement is saying is that working together we could create more that we ever thought. For example working on a teamwork about a project you could create a great project you can accomplished more knowledge and a better understanding. But working by yourself your just stuck by your own with your own thoughts and knowledge not knowing any ideas only yours. Its better sometimes to work together to accomplish a better life.

7 habits of highly successful teens
Habit 6: synergize
Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could be alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be ‘’your way’’ or ‘’my way’’ but rather a better appreciate other. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go . Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is: learn celebrate differences.
A good and is a great example of synergy. It’s not just them the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, its all of them together that make up the ’’ sound’’. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Student success statement 

‘’So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the ‘’in group,’’ we lose sight of things that are far more important.’’
                                      Sean Covey

What this successful statement is saying is to choose the right people to hang out with because you may lose a lot. For example if you choose to hang out with the wrong people you may lose your respect to yourself, you may also lose your goals, achievements. Its important to  hang out with people that wont harm your future and will lead you to bad steps. Respect to be respect and choose the right.

7 habits of highly successful teens
                       Habit 5

5. seek first to understand, and then to be understood
Because most people don’t  listen very well, one of the great frustration in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening. Why is this habit the key to communication? Its because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and value for who they are-a unique, one of a kind, never to be cloned individual. People wont expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice ( 40 percent). Most people are eger to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand then to be understood-listen.

7 habits of highly effective teens
                             Habit 4
4. Think win-win
Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishment of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-win is a belief that everyone can win. Its both nice and thought all at once. I wont step on you, but I wont be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-win is abundant. It is the belief that theres plenty of success to go around. Its bot either you or me. Its both of us. Its not matter of who gets the biggest pice of the pie. Theres more than enough food for you everyone. Its and all-you-can-eat buffet.
Win-win always create more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking win-win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking win-win or one of the alternative its how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
Win-win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think win-win or no deal.

‘’The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the differences of their own habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which preceded all others is-‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.’ ‘’
Og Mandino

What this statement is saying is that you create your own habits to your life. if you choose to have bad habits it may led you to a failure in life but if you choose the correct habits it may lead you to success. For example if I don’t respect the law I may end up in jail for years and it may ruined my life forever. But for example I try my best in school and follow the rules I will end up being someone successful in life maybe I end up being an architecture or something else. Its up to you if you want to be a failure or someone successful in your life choose the right habits that won’t harm your future. 

7 habits of highly successful teens
                        Habit 2

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.
‘’keep your eye on the prize.’’ Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that would really like to achieve. begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you going.
One prize or goal you definitely need establish for yourself is the prize of a honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honesty and with integrity that you earned it with perfect honesty.

Habit 1: Be proactive

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, goal, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school polices. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you.

Engage regularly in the discussion and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment-sometimes even better than in face-to- face class. And the same goes for your instructor.

What this statement is saying is that it doesn’t matter where you live as long as you’re happy with the decisions you have made. For example you may not live in the best house but you’re happy that you own a house and live happy with your family. In the second sentences of the student successful statement it’s trying to say that as long as you play the game with your heart that’s what matter the most. For example if you play a game but you don’t feel like playing then why bother playing? If you’re not playing with pride, and with your heart.

Takes responsibility for his or her own learning online learning can be powerful stimulating engaging experiences for the student who can work and think independent. However since most-if not all of the learning takes place on your own time,you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invent in the expririence this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensure success in a online course.
Is comfortable and confident with written communication. Reading and writing are the basic of most online courses, so its critical that you fell comtrable with this form of communication. Personal commitment- Because there are no bells that begin and end classes, students must have a strong desire to learn and achieve knowledge and skills via online courses.  Making a commitment to learn in this manner is a very personal decision and requires a strong commitment to perform in order to achieve academic success. Overall, every individual who has the motivation and self-direction to take online courses will achieve success in our “any time, any place, any path, any pace” virtual environment.  Meeting the needs of individual students is our top priority. Last but not least, successful online students are students who decide for themselves that online learning is a choice that they want to make.

Successful students 10

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.
An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrase from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments For Effective Study Skills which appeared in the teaching professor, December, 1992.
