Taking responsibility for yourself to achieve success

Please answer questions 1, 2, and 3. Then, comment on at least two other students answers to questions 2 and/or 3.

1. In the introduction to the book College Success, (page 10 of the pdf), there is a list of 12 questions. Based on your answers (yes, unsure, or no), how confident do you feel about being ready for university? What can you do to be better prepared for your university career? Looking at the list on the next page, what are the three areas where you think you can improve?

2. Many people think of university studies mainly as a way to gain job skills and qualifications they need to work. After reading section 1.1, what other benefits come from a university education? Which ones are most important to you?

3. People choose majors in different ways. Some choose a major based on what career they want in the future. Some choose a major because they love studying that subject. Sometimes it is the student's parents who choose the major. Which method do you think is best, and why?

  1. 1- I think that for my college studies, I have a goal and some clear objectives and for sure I will improve all the capacity that I have and find those that I don't have for succeeding at University. So I am quiet ready for the University . For being better prepared for the University, I can make some research about what I want to do and learn how to be familiar with university life. The three areas where I can improve are: developping a positive attitude for college, getting the best grades I can get, doing everything I can every day to ensure I succeed in college.
    2- University studies can help teach to people how to find themselves in their personal life, how to be independent and take decisions in many fields that people can meet. And be able to organize to organize yourself and manage the time wherever you are.
    3-I think that it's better to choose your major because of what you want to become or the career you want to be in. This choice can help students to work more and be focus on their studies because they know that it will help the to become what they want in the future and it allow students to be independent because it's their own choice and they have to fight to prove to themselves and the society that they know what they are doing, why they choose this major and how to manage and succeed in this major.

  4. 1- I think that for my college studies, I have a goal and some clear objectives and I will do my best to succeed at university. I know that I have all the capacity to success, I just have to work seriously. For being better prepared for my university career, I have to choose the major in the which I feel good because if I choose a major that is not me, it will be very difficult. The three areas where I can improve are getting the best grades I can get, developing a positive attitude for college and doing everything I can every day to ensure I succeed in college.
    2- Teach to people how to find themselves in their personal life, teach people how to use their time and to be more relax and teach people to be more responsible are other benefits come from a university education. I think that the most important is when university teach you to be more responsible because it prepare you to your future.
