Planning ahead

To me the most useful thing I got from the education blogs was the tip about scheduling. Scheduling is a very important part about getting ahead in school. You must plane ahead of time, and you must give yourself extra time just in case. I made a schedule right after I readhttp://www.deliverfreedom.com/blog/work-hard-or-work-smart/ .I believe that the key to success is to plan ahead. I plan my week out on Sunday. I write down all of the classes I have and when I have them. I also factor in my softball schedule, times I have to wake up, and also down time for playing guitar or just watching TV. Writing out my schedule helps me see when I have to complete assignments. This blog is a great example of that. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to write out my blogs on Wednesday or Thursday, so I started to write them on Tuesday, and finally finished them on Saturday. So far, it’s working well, I haven’t missed an assignment or a deadline yet. So I hope to continue my streak throughout the year. Another thing that helped me was in the blog http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/opinion/06collegeadvice.html .It said that as students, we should choose our teachers. We should look through teacher reviews and talk to older students who have been through the classes. It also said we shouldn’t just pick teachers who are fun but we should pick teachers who are actually good at teaching. Someone who will help us learn throughout the semester. These blogs helped me a lot. They gave me great ideas that I can use to help me achieve great things in college.
