How Avid Has Changed My Life

How I have grown as a student this semester.
This semester has been one of my greatest. My grades have been higher than ever before, I learn a lot easier, and I can talk to my teachers a lot better. Avid is the program that has taught me how to do all these things.
A couple of known Avid strategies.
What these Avid stratigies have taught me.

How public speaking has changed my personality.
One personal strategy that has been a life changer has been public speaking. We sometimes write stories to present to the class, I personally do not like presenting at all because of everyone looking at you, but with avid we do it a lot so I am very used to it. The stories are usually about a personal experience which is sometimes difficult to talk about, so we practice over our skills so we are used to talking to people. Lastly this strategy taught me that speaking aloud is not only fun but good, and helps you open up to the real you.

How my writing skills have imporved.
My writing skills have always been average, but I have learned new strategies in avid to make them great. I can now write a full page in about 20 minutes with little spelling error and editing needed. Avid has taught me how to put the words I think onto paper.

How i will improve my skills this semester !
My imporvements
This semester I am going to be even more organized than before, study harder, read more, and listen a lot better. This previous semester, I have learned avid can't do all the work for you. I am willing ot go above and beyond, to be a better student than I was before.
Studying
When studying this semester I will actually use my avid strategies. Unlike before whenever I would rarely study and not prepare for anything, this semester will be different. I will idolize my study buddy, and use them as an utility for homework, missed work, difficult tests, etc.

Do your homework !
This previous semester I did all my homework quickly and without regard. This semester I will be prepared to come home and start on my homework. Studying has made things very easy this semester so I am hoping slowing down will be a good thing too.

Test taking
When it came to test taking this semester, I rarely ever cared, and I barely studied. This semester I will be ready to take the test a day before, get good sleep, and study harder than usually. This will help me because I have always been a bad test taker, so using the following strategies, it will be a lot easier.

Organization this semester..
This semester, I would like to become more organized. This previous semester, I shared supplies with others and they got stolen very easily, which made it hard to participate in some activities. This semester I am going to be an advocate for myself, and remember to receive all of my items back. This will keep all of my things organized so, I wont have to purchase new equipment.
