The Habits of Successful and Overachieving Students (Part 4). Organizational Skills, Keeping the Brain Engaged, Embracing Feedback, and Participating in School Activities
# 072 – Today, on this episode, we conclude our series on the habits of successful and overachieving students.
Jankel and I embark on a conversation about how important it is for students to have excellent organizational skills to do well in high school and carry out the college admission process successfully.
Jankel tells a story about one of her students, whose organizational skills made a big impression on her. That student is now completing medical school.
Our conversation also touches on the importance of having the commitment required to acquire these habits.
We compare this process to everything that successful athletes have to endure to achieve their goals.
Additionally, we discuss the ever-present level of activity in successful students, in academic and non-academic areas.
We call them Predictable Doers. That level of activity arises from a connection to topics that stimulate their brains.
I provide an example of a high school student who shared with me a piece of artwork that he created and dealth with the ancient motif of Chaoskampf.
As our episode crosses the mid-line, we talk about the last three habits of successful and overachieving students.
One plays a role on their self-esteem of successful students, while the others allow them to establish fruitful relationships with faculty and staff in their high schools, and continuously participate in school activities.
The episodes on this series were fun and very positive.
