STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
" THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION  EVEN FOR CHOOSING ANY PART OF WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE EVIL"
AYN RAND

this statement says that there will never be any type of excuse for choosing evil. if two kids are doing seperate activities... one is doing homework and the other is doing drugs. lets say that the second guy is driving and runs over a kid... there is no excuse, he was on drugs and ran over a kid, that is taken right away to jail!

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 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 the teacher, and 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 everything else.
The philosopher sir Francis bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to learning important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book and pen.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
“when I was teaching basketball. I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that every day, to make that practice a master piece. this rule is even more important in basket ball. you have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. by applying your self to the task of becoming better each and every day over a period of time,  you'll become a little better. only then you will be able to aproach being the best you can be.”
If two boys like soccer, one likes to play once in a while and the other loves to play every day and learn more, if they both try to join a team the guy that plays every day will most likely join and the other will get rejected.

Tips 3-4
TIP 3: DO RESEARCH
Literary critics have written vast number of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If your 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, some teachers always like to see. Always using legitimate an scholarly sources, not considered 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.

READING
5 tips for success
Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thought 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          
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.
2. Note the authors style
Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When your reading look for patterns in the authors writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key word, phrases or symbols- or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure.
