• Becoming a Better Student
• As a person growth is an inevitable goal and change will always be present in what we do
• For students, the need to understand that just barely passing the different subjects and graduating after is not necessarily the best option for successfully landing you dream job, or becoming successful in the world of work
• Being a student does not necessarily mean that the only thing you have to do is to read books, go to class, or prepare and answer tests
• The preparation for real life endeavors may start in the class room, but not necessarily end there
• In terms of having freedom in the classroom, there are several things that needs to be noted, one of which is in the freedom of the students towards their choices of what to learn as well as how they are going to use such learning in real life situations
• Aside from having a good learning environment where the needs of the students are being met, the students should also understand the value of what they are learning and why they are learning those
• To become a better student, several things are needed to be done, aside from just listening from the discussions and following the directions taught by the teachers a student should be able to have a better understanding of what they are doing, have the ability to recognize and sort the different information that they are encountering, and to be able to have a certain level of understanding on the concepts that they are studying in which could result for better application and appreciation of such learnings
• Tips to Become a Better Student

  • Be Critical and make learning personal
  • Ask Help
  • Do other things

  The school may focus on the interaction between the teachers and students but the institution is comprised of more than what or who are inside the class room and the people in the school from the guidance office, librarian, registrar, etc. and even people outside the school such as your parents and friends or other professionals can help you as a student to break limitations, ease the difficulties that is brought about by the requirements of the curriculum
• Do other things


  1. The school provides co-curricular or extra-curricular activities, join clubs, or school groups to widen you experiences as a student

  2. Not only can you have better relationships which will translate to more help in the future, but an active body and mind that may or may not necessarily related to school work can also help a student to balance their lifestyle and maintain a healthy body and mind
