“The Importance of Good Sportsmanship”

Good sportsmanship is a good characteristic that many people value in someone.

Many of us don’t know what it really means to be a good sport. When you have good sportsmanship you’re a team player, a trustworthy leader, and a smart polite person of character. Do you have good sportsmanship?

To be a good sport you need to choose the right. Do what you know is right, do good and you’ll feel good. If you do wrong you feel bad and know you did wrong. Sometimes decisions are hard but u know right from wrong, so why would you choose wrong? Everyone has a choice, we aren’t forced to do anything and our decisions are what makes up our character as well as our actions.
There is no need to have poor sportsmanship, so why be a bad person? Just choose the right and do good. If you do good, good will come back to you.

“Education is the key to unlock the golden gate of freedom.”

George Washington Cerver

 

Education is the key to your freedom. Think of the times when slavery was still around; the slaves that were free were educated! The enslaved ones were kept enslaved because of their lack of knowledge! If you’re intelligent, you know how to defend and stand up for yourself. You’re bound to be successful!

7. Successful students understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions that in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. Successful students talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for check whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into works provide the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You don’t really “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, ect. With friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

9. Successful students don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions and they practice it.

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you make them because they’re right.
Theodore Hesburgh

       This statement, I think, focuses on lazy people. Yes, it’s alright to find an easy way to do something, but if you cheat through life, it’s bound to catch up with you. It’s smarter to work hard and do it yourself. You’ll feel great inside! CHOOSE THE RIGHT!
