Do you want success at ASU?

The Biggest thing about success is that one must want success more than anything. In order to be successful in whatever one does they must have the drive and the correct mindset to do so. We as individuals sometimes stray from our goals and in the end, not achieving them. Some of us do not reach the goal of going to college and others are not successful in even graduating high school. This usually happens because we do not do the certain things that create success. Some ideas that will help in being successful are being organized, planning for the future and setting small goals in order to reach larger ones, and being focused. These are what I believe and what the lessons on academic success have taught me to be true. To be organized takes a lot of patience and a lot of dedication, but it really does pay off. Having a planner or schedule book will help tremendously with home work and assignments. This isn't high school anymore and so we must keep track of our assignments and when there due. College is a lot more focused on the individual person and that person must be responsible for his or her work. Obviously life as a college student is rough and so things may come accidents family members or anything else that could happen, if you are well organized it will be much easier for you to adjust around problems that arise in your schedule. Also a key way to being successful in school or on life in general is to set goals and time lines for oneself. One should have different sets of goals, long term and short term. Long term goals are a very important because they give one motivation for the future and keep them wanting something more for them self in the future. Examples of long term goals are going to college, finishing college, getting the job one desires or anything else in the future that one wishes to accomplish someday. Short term goals are usually not exciting but probably more important. Short term goals are put in place in order to help one reach his or her long term ones. For example if ones long term goal it to finish college then their short term goals would probably be to pass certain classes with good grades are even set goals for their tests and assignments. Short term goals are the tools for achieving success in long term goals. The third important factor in being successfully is staying focused. One must stay focused on there goals and on their schoolwork. Success comes in many forms but is achieved through the same method of creating goals staying focused and being organized.
