Better Student in 2016 by Samanth - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

One New Year’s resolution that will help me become a better student in 2016 is to get organized and stay on schedule. Every semester I use my planner to write down due dates and exams. In the past it always seems that I get off my reading schedule for classes because I never wrote down chapters that I needed to read for certain classes. However, my resolution for 2016 of being organized and staying on schedule involves writing down what chapters are due in my planner.
Being organized also includes my reading tactics. I will use post-its and highlighters while reading to mark the important points. This will help me when I ‘reread’, I will already know what is important because I marked that the first time around. Also, this will make for an easier skim and quick fresher up before test.
By being more organized and including my reading schedule in my planner, I believe I will be a better student in 2016 and can stay on schedule. This is very important to me as this semester of nursing school is going to be the toughest and most challenging. I look forward to accomplishing my resolution and becoming a better student
