...they want to become. There are many tools and techniques which can aid students in their college journey and assist them in being personally responsible for their success. A combination of these tools and proper application of them can lead a student to success. For people to gain satisfaction with their life, they must think about whom they are and who they want to become. Individuals need to act in a manner that is consistent with their self-belief. Doing this means you have personal responsibility to be true to the person you believe you are. This motivation to be a successful student must come from within. According to Brecke and Jensen (2007) “Motivation in the classroom, and life in general, must be authentic and therefore related to what students see as interesting and worthwhile.” (pg. 261). When students are pursuing goals that are important and meaningful to them intrinsically, they will be more successful. In order to be successful in college or any endeavor you must first define what success is for you and your actions must support that definition. There are many different ways to be ‘successful’ as a college student, what you define as success is an individual choice; no one else can make that decision for you. Just as no one else can define your success, no one else can make your success happen. Using common and available tools and pursuing goals that are internally motivated a student can...

...If I were to be invited to attend ASMSA, I think that it would be a much needed change. ASMSA is a place where being a nerd is embraced, not discriminated against. In my current school, being a smart kid is subject to criticism and everyone is competing to be the best. Helping someone understand something could have its consequences. As I have grown up, I have realized that not all teachers will always have the same patience and the knowledge to teach students that are not interested. ASMSA has teachers who are actually concerned with the knowledge that is filling the capacity of students’ brains. Attending ASMSA is a plus all in itself. This school is the best in the state, and it would be an honor to be invited at all. I feel like living...

...are prepared for the reality ahead. The U.S. government currently funds many different programs to help those in need of resources for shelter and a means of helping to care for families, but there is not much help available in terms of education. Although America is a free country and the government is far more lenient than other countries, the education system has fallen below the mark according to the National Educational Agency, and this matter needs to be brought to the forefront. Our American high school students are suffering and depending on the wrong type of government assistance to help maintain everyday life standards and adding to the high school drop-out rates in record highs. Currently, the government funds programs from the federal, state and local levels for high school education only. The government has separated post-secondary education to rely on student loans from lending institutions along with scholarships to help with the cost of post-secondary education. However, the funds allocated for some of these programs to help keep the American high school students in school could be taken away from the high school level and allocated to help fund the first two years of college tuition for all graduating American born high school students. Outside of the government helping fund these programs many students are not allowed the opportunity to attend a college or university due to the lack of funds or either the parents are not prepared for their child’s’...

...predictive system called GPS, Graduation and Progressions Success in 2012. It’s a system that tracks each and every student that attends Georgia Sate University. GPS tracks them by an ID card that is swiped every time they attend class such as, tutoring, financial literary, and even the movements through out the college from the dining hall to even the health care center. It can even see who downloads the lecture notes and how long they spent online reviewing class materials. The GPS was designed to help identify struggling students. Since August 2012 when the University began using GPS it has helped over 32,000 students and even plans to add financial aid to the data soon. As the line between what student’s do online and offline become blurred. How information is gathered Data mining is how the University of Georgia gathers its information. Data mining is examining a large database in order to create new information. The university to help the faculty understand the needs of the students uses this information. The Education Advisory Board, is a consulting company, it analyzes millions of past course grades and create algorithms that identify signs of academic struggle from obvious portions of college life, such as failing a class, financial aid and the not-so-obvious, such as barely passing a core class required for a major. The system can predict students’ likelihood of success in any major. (Quinton, 2015) Georgia...

...August 2013 HK129 PolyU student scores top internship Over the summer many students travel around the world, but one Polytechnic University student gained work experience overseas in Australia, interning for eight weeks at the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Sydney to help foster relations between Hong Kong and Australia. Second year Engineering/Physics student Ricky Tsui has been working with the public relations department, helping promote Hong Kong to an overseas audience through social media, media releases and events planning. “During the internship I’ve learnt a lot of new skills, like how to put together media lists, media releases and how to handle media interviews. These are skills that will definitely come in handy in my career,” said Ricky. The highly-sought-after internships are open to university students in Hong Kong each year and provide an opportunity to work overseas and experience a different lifestyle. “Having spent a semester in Germany for exchange, I was keen to go to elsewhere for more international experience. Australia is a lovely country and to be able to intern for the Hong Kong government during my stay here is a big bonus,” said Ricky. Ricky, together with Joanna Leung and Kwan Leung, interns from Chinese University and the Hong Kong Institute of Education, also worked on a strategy to help promote Hong Kong to a youth audience, which includes young professionals, tertiary and secondary students. Ricky said this was an important...

...recently discovered it is a concern shared by and affecting many students, some of whom prefer to revise during these hours. Therefore, for many including myself, the E3 period is proving to be a burden more than an effective use of time that could be benefitting us as individuals as well as our means of furthering in life after Sixth Form (CV, applications, records, etc). Below I outline the proposed E3 program and ideas for how the period could be used that would prove as or even more useful than revising for our subjects. Health and Wellbeing All activities proposed for this area are essentially P.E options. Since 2 hours of our timetable are assigned to mandatory P.E activities, I think as well as existing options we should be able to choose from more activities not limited to sports. Keeping with the idea of health and wellbeing, we can: * Have sessions addressing stress and how to deal with it (possibly sessions helping us DEAL with stress directly rather than just suggesting ways how to) * Sessions to build motivation * Sessions addressing depression/other issues affecting wellbeing of students Other relevant topics/skills that benefits our general wellbeing/life: * Learning about taxes/mortgages/financial matters in real life * Specifically, student finances – e.g for university * Learning how to be a good team member/leader * Building confidence in public speaking (many students still get severely anxious speaking in front of a crowd) – e...

...leadership strength is that I am a rational and patient person; I can control my temper very well when some unexpected condition happens and make rational judgment. For example, I am as a driver this fall orientation. When I pick up the new students form Walmart to their home, there are some arguments in the car. Everyone in the car tells me their own opinion and doesn’t yield to each other. Though I’m unhappy in mind, I still control my temper, try to communicate, and send them back home. Another experience is that, I was a volunteer last semester. There were some Asia students whose English speaking were not well, so I was a translator and led them to complete every step in orientation. 1. How will this program benefit your own goals while you study at Pittsburg State University? I believe that attaining this program will benefit my goals when I study at Pittsburg State University. The reason is because I can meet many new friends with different culture and backgrounds. Through the interaction with other people, I not only can broaden my knowledge horizon, but also can enjoy the pleasure of helping other people. I also can learn how to deal with things and how to cooperate with people who is from different countries. As an international student like me, this kind of experience is very important because this is the purpose for us to go abroad to study. 2. As a member in the Global Leadership Institute, how will you make contributions on campus and in the community? ...

...have aspired toward. However, it is not a simple task to achieve such a thing, or so it seemed until recent years. Student averages have been steadily increasing, although standardized tests have shown that intelligence is actually decreasing (McCall, M., 2011). Grade inflation has been an increasing problem throughout higher education systems. If grade inflation persists, higher education can become nothing more than a simple novelty. Professors play a huge role in grade inflation throughout universities. Giving students bad grades in a class could reflect poorly on the teacher themselves. It could mean that the professor isn’t very good at the one thing they were hired to do- teach. In addition, if a professor is just beginning, they may not know quite what to expect from their students. They will tend to grade more lenient. However, as time goes on, they will become more experienced and start to see the difference between good work and bad (McCall, M., 2011). On top of that, professors don’t necessarily have a lot of job security, especially if they are adjunct professors. Students will typically get the chance to evaluate the professor at the end of the semester; if they were given bad grades, or even flunked, it would affect the way students evaluate that professor in a negative...

...Intellectual: Moving from Year 6 to Year 7 Moving from Primary School to High School affects children and young people’s development in lots of ways. A child may be attending a very small village Primary School where there are 60 pupils to go to a school where there are more than 1500 students. It may have an effect on their social and emotional development. Anxiety kicks in for a lot of children in Year 6 for both boys and girls concerned about different issues with moving to the school ie: how will I get there, will mum or dad pick me up, what if I get lost, what if I’m not in classes with my friends, I might get bullied, what if I don’t like the food, how much home work will I get and will I be able to do it? These are all legitimate...

...starting at the university, most students realize that they are not prepared in an optimal way. However, the faster they adapt to the university rhythm, the better they can evolve in the future. For most of my colleagues and myself, the transition from high school to university was not easy. The university world with its routines was a different one than the high school world I used to live in for years. Our habitudes had to change radically in order to adapt to the new world. The methods of teaching were new, the professors behaved differently, the assignments were done in a different way and the exams’ difficulty level was incomparable to high school tests. Since my start at the university, I faced the experience of not understanding properly my assigned tasks and familiarize myself with the professors’ style. I figured out very soon that the university professors were teaching us in a much more professional way than my high school professors. At the university I was treated like an adult, while in high school, my professors treated me like a teenager. I can almost say that within only a few months, I changed from a teenager to an adult person. Generally speaking, the problems that I was facing need to be solved by everyone who leaves high school and starts studying at the university. Undergraduate students clearly feel the notable difference between the high school world and the new university environment. Another point is that many students are not sure yet about their choice...

...The mission of Liberty University’s master of education school counseling program is to help graduate students prepare to work as school counselors in any learning environment that they desire to work in whether it is elementary, middle, high school, or the college level. The other mission goals for this program is teach graduate students from a biblical perspective in order for students to apply that perspective by helping children and adolescents with their academics, career, and social development. Mission goals also require that school counseling graduate students tend to not only children’s academic needs but also their mental health as well. This mission aligns with my personal goals in a way that as a future school counselor, I want to be a positive example when working with students and not only motivate myself to become a better person but to also help motivate them as well by making the right life decisions. The way that the mission aligns with my professional goals is that I also want to help...
