Relationships - Activator
Surround yourself with individuals who are restless to start working on projects and assignments. Associate with people who welcome respond to your directives
Identify classmates who automatically know when the time for planning has expired and the time for action has arrived
Initiate conversations with professors outside the classroom. Make appointments with them to confirm expectation, clarify course requirements, and establish deadlines
Volunteer to chair group discussions, facilitate brainstorming sessions, or spearhead projects. Observe your classmates' relief at not having to be in charge

In this past week I made group studies in all of my classes and socialize with them daily. My group studies are very effective and are always on task. They are not assigned by the professor, they are people I met, and got to know and figured that they are hard working. I also made a lot of friends this past week and observed everyone and how they react to things. I made an appointment to study on Sundays and Thursdays, and until now it's working out perfectly. Also my leg has been limiting me to many other things since it has been injured, many of my class mates know when to start working and how to start working so it gives me more time to brainstorm

General Academic life – communication
Participate in class discussions. Enhance your own and others comprehension by talking through the key points
Respond to questions with thought – provoking answers
Illustrate scholarly concepts with real – life examples. Help others learn in the process
Capture your audience's interest by telling stories to amplify an idea, concept, theory, scientific law, philosophical point, ethical quandary, or historic event

In this past week I got into conversations which I like to call arguments, because the expressing of thought always leads to a controversy about the two thoughts. My way of teaching at the help volunteer is to make the person understand what's happening and not memorizing.  To compare definitions to real life examples, or to evolve it into stories, helps the person look back into it because it interests him in a way that is similar to his or her personality. By telling people stories of the past and mixing it with the future, helps people understand that history can help them with daily life and help making the future, and that’s what I did in the past week. I helped people realize that history isn’t about dead, people and bloody wars, but about the context behind it

Action plans
Woo –General Academic Life
- Make classroom discussions fun using words that catch the attention of others
- Meet and greet people in you class
- Use your charm when asking difficult questions in class

Woo – Class selection
-          Try to meet the professors before choosing classes
-          Choose classes that offer opportunities to meet lots of people

Adaptability – Study Techniques
-          Analyze your study habits. Do you plan and then improvise as circumstances change? Or do you improvise minute by minute rather than plan
-          Choose study partners who are serious yet share your easy – going, relaxed work style. Avoid individuals who are tense and anxious. Make a list of potential study buddies
-          Look for irony, humour, and the unexpected in your studies. Stimulate your own and others thinking by discussing the relevance of each discovery
-          Make notes about how your study habits vary depending on the situation. Ask yourself these questions: do i need the pressure of a test or deadline to force me to study? When am I most likely to ignore intriguing distractions? Least likely?
