Peace is the way to A's by Miranda - January 2014 Scholarship Essay

There are many ways people can study and help them do better in school. Some ways are effective while others are not. People use different study methods like listening to music, study groups, or peace and quiet by their self. There is only one effective way I can study and that is by myself, it benefits me because it helps me concentrate and do better in school.

Some people can study by listening to music but for others like me it's hard. When I listen to music I get very distracted and stop doing homework. That's when the texting takes place and then I begin to watch television and start doing everything besides studying for school. That is why I do not like listening to music when studying because it's not an effective way for me to study and it does not benefit me.

One of the biggest ways people like to study is by going to a study group. When students study like this it's a lot easier to get distracted because you're with your friends. Then the reason you're there goes out the window and no studying takes places. Some study groups may actually benefit people while other people like me it doesn't benefit us. It's not a good study method for me though because I get distracted.

The most effective way for me to study is being in a room with peace and quiet all by myself. This benefits me very well because I can get the things I need done fast and effectively, I also get A's when I study this way. It's easy for me to concentrate because there is nothing to distract me. I have to turn the television off and my phone off so I am not tempted to text or watch t.v. After I had foot surgery and had to stay home from school for two weeks is when I found out this is the most effective way for me to study. Because I wouldn't want to walk on crutches to turn my t.v. on or turn the radio on, so I actually sat in bed and did my work with no distractions.
