How To Be a Good Student

Being a good student takes a lot of hard work and motivation to want to do well. It means always doing all of your homework assigned to you and maybe even doing some work to get ahead or doing some extra credit. School does not come easy to most. However, there are a select group of people who do not work hard and are able to get good grades. Don't you just hate those kind of people. They do homework sometimes, when they feel like it. They always forget there is a test, don't study and still manage to do better than you, who spent hours studying.

First you will need to get all the necessary items for being a good student. Binders, notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, calculators, and of course a back pack to hold everything are your basic necessities. You can find theses items at a local Staples or Wal Mart. These items are necessary for organizational purposes. Staying organized is key when trying to be successful. Binders and folders will keep papers from all of your classes separate. They will also keep you on top of due dates. Good students are always prepared with pens or pencils and usually have extras to give to those not so good student who come unprepared everyday.

Endless hours of studying and doing homework are usually associated with being a good student. You need to study hard so you can get good grades. A bad grade can be detrimental to a good student. Homework must be done to make sure you understand what is going on in class and so you can be involved in any class discussions that arise. Always having your hand raised is important. You always want to be called on because you should always know the answer. You also want to be asking lots of questions to make sure you fully understand the concept.

A good student never gets in trouble during class. They sit there attentively with notebook open avidly taking notes. They are not disruptive and are always paying attention. A good student is always wearing their ID. Sucking up to a teacher a little bit never hurt anyone. You could never get to class too early. You do need time to get yourself situated. Staying after class was never a bad thing either.

Once you have the status of a good student be proud of it. You put in a lot of time and hard work and you deserve to reap the benefits. Don't be ashamed, it's a good thing to be smart and it's okay to let people know it.
