“Are students dumb or are they not studying right way….”


“Are students dumb or are they not studying right way….”

As a little boy runs through rain and gets his white t-shirt with mud that is how your study habits are reflected in your execution in your studious accomplishments. The importance of how your discipline, organization, motivation, and the place where you study can affect your academic achievement. What you do, where you are and how you study is a great influence in the person’s performance. It is important that people take serious that falling in mud with a white t-shirt can change your academic performance.

The discipline is one of the things most asked to a soldier in war, and to a mom from his son. Discipline is not to follow someone’s orders or to follow someone’s footsteps. Discipline is a branch of learning, a self-control in which you educate yourself. Discipline is a great influence since you are a kid and how the teachers taught you how to study and how to always study for a good grade. Teachers in time taught children that discipline is to not breaking rules and always following them because if they do not then there would be consequences. Some people study because if they do not they will suffer great consequences. However, studying should not be fear because of the consequences should be done because it makes you feel good about teaching yourself something new. Learning is something that is abstract and absolute. Discipline, when it comes to studying is one of the things that have a big influence. If you do not teach yourself to learn something new every day or to take out time to study then you won’t progress. Making studying a habit is important, sitting everyday to study and doing it because is important to you. Some children at a short age their parents made them take time to study making this a habit. This habit of taking time and having everything under control is important. The management of disciplinary skills is important it is how you concentrate on your work and you focus on that one assignment and finish it. The real test of discipline comes when you are on anxiety and you don’t know what to do if to study or not. Then discipline the self control and your state of mind changes and you decide to study because you know there is a good reason to it. As I said, “Discipline is a branch of learning, a self-control in which you educate yourself,” is a self control in which you teach yourself that studying is important and to concentrate and to manage to reach your goal. This inflicts in your academic achievement as simple as this, “you do not control your time to study and focus on making your work you will probably fail later on.” Discipline is a way of learning that not only is demonstrated on your studying time but on your life and as a person. Being discipline can make you be a more organized person even always maintains control of the situations of life and find a solution.

Also being organized is a very good influence when it comes to academic achievements. Most people think are not organized when it comes to studying and on reality. Most men in case are not organized. Some people have mess and a whole disorder of priorities. In some cases not being organized may cause stress and lose control of one self. Being organized is a huge importance when it comes to studying. Most people go on with their lives without knowing the importance and the effect of having their lives organized. “Organization” is not a thing that is complicated, like most people think. Being organized is to be prepared and always have a plan when it comes losing the sense of control and structure. A person who is organized is a person who has an ambition, an objective. The influence of organization cannot be demonstrated on a person’s notebook, a person’s room but on how well he plans to obtain his goal. Society has this image that a person who is clean is organized and a person who is clean does not mean is organized. Having a plan and having everything under control is not wrong it helps you become better. A good achievement of being organized while studying is that it helps you consume less time and the fluency of studying and learning is easier. It is an advantage to be organized when it comes to learning and studying, when you plan what to study and what is your goal it helps you focus more. In some cases being focused and determined to do a better work is a definition of being organized. When it comes to an exam being well thought-out about the answers and what you reviewed. Even if you are not clean one must always be prepared for everything and being prepared is being organized. When you prepare for an exam or a test the note or grade you will get is the result on how much you were prepared or how much you were organized. It does not hurt to sit down in any place and have a plan and to be organized, sometimes having control over what you are about to do does not mean you have control about your surroundings.

Many students study in different places. Someone’s preference in the place where you want to study is based on the comfortable. The influence of the place where you study is very important because it lets you focus. The place in which you are located is essential to your learning and for your academic achievement. It influences in such way, the place you choose will determine how much you learn at the moment. Today, most people like to study in a place of comfortness where they can relax. Distractions are huge during study and sometimes you start to lose control of your concentration. Some study in quiet places, some study in place with noise, others study with music, others cannot study with music. Some places where people go are full of distractions and some places are not full of distractions and this helps you study less time. Once you are organized and have discipline place won’t be much of a difference since you have planned it and makes you feel better. Sometime the surroundings around you can help you study even more. The type of place where you study is to the type of person and character in which the person feels right. There are few who can study everywhere, however there are some who cannot study but only on a specific place making it more difficult. The major influence of a where you study is not the place but the surroundings and with how much ease you can study. Sometimes the surroundings make you have more motivation and study harder. This helps you to be prepared for your future and you accustom to different kinds of places.

Motivation can be fuel by the place or surroundings. The better the place where you are the more motivation you have. The importance of motivation is that helps you be consistent. Motivation is like a special condition that gives you direction and leads to you to your goal. If your goal in the moment is to study, then, you will be focused on the goal and reach it easier. Motivation is not a state of energy like adrenaline, nor is an internal state. Motivation is the passion and the wanting to complete your goal because it is your desire to do so. People in most cases are obligated do things they do not like to do. The wanting and the drive to do what you want will make you to eagerly reach your goal. Motivation’s importance is that without motivation the learning behavior will not occur and reaching the goal is harder. For having a good academic achievement one must overall have motivation is the way and the wanting of doing something better. Motivation is like the purpose of doing things and the purpose is because you want to and it is in your desire. Everything that has a cause has a purpose and it is important that one realized that the cause of every bad grade or no goal achieved is by the motivation and dedication to it. People work more when they are motivated even on war people fought more eagerly since they are driven and motivated to win. If one is motivated to study and be prepared then by effect one will study better.

All of these factors discipline, organization, place, and motivation are all important to a person who is decided to learn and reach a goal, most people do not realize that. Each one of them is important and is linked to each other. It is important to develop this habits and skills for a better understanding and a better way to study. All people have this skills no one is excluded and it is important to strengthen them and to make them a priority. Other people who study have already developed these skills and they do not even know it. These skills are an advantage and you can always see the result of this performance in your grade. The more we use this skill the better and easy life we have. This is not a matter of a having a good grade is the desire of doing a better performance in an academic way and lifestyle. It is a decision one can always take and make something better to exploit your skills as a learner and a person with an ambition. No people are dumb we just have to know where to focus and work harder. How you manage your study habits is reflected and is an influence in your performance and academic achievement.

Peruvian and Puerto Rican Driving


Peruvian and Puerto Rican Driving

Car and driver have been one since they met. Both of them have been on the road ever since. Everywhere in the world there are drivers who have different ways of driving. Drivers show exotic ways of breaking the laws of physics and the law of the road. Each driver is different no matter where they are, for example like Puerto Rico and Peru both distance and both same driving techniques. Drivers from Peru and Puerto Rican seem very distant, but they show same characteristics and similar behavior on the road. When it comes to driving distance isn’t something that one could contrast.

I have been in Peru and I live in Puerto Rico and I have seen how drivers have no senses at all. Drivers in both places have a tendency in being hostile towards on each other. Drivers lose their sense of morality and humanization when it comes to driving or being on the road. The rules that are supposed to maintain order or stability which they seem to be shattered with no reason whatsoever. There is a saying “rules are meant to be broken” well when it comes to these people rules don’t exist. Nowadays accidents happen because of careless driving and by breaking the laws of the road. These drivers they are like sharks around you. They don’t care about the rules they just care on getting wherever they want to go to. The rush of the drivers seems to be a great cause of their ways of driving. I know I wouldn’t be a great driver; people die on the road for having no sense of following the laws on the road. Rules don’t seem to matter whatsoever to those who are driving. The reason to the accidents that happen on the road is either for people who are young (inexperienced) or people who are in a rush. Rushing is a sign of bad driving; these drivers whom seem to be blind sometimes can see double causing them to see more lanes than normal people see. I have experienced how both drivers, Puerto Rican and Peruvian tend to see eight lanes when I only see 2. Sometime I think who has lost his mind me or the driver, they don’t seem to care what’s on their side but on what’s up front of them. I think no one can be a driver like the Puerto Rican or the Peruvian they are like aliens from another planet with no sense of fear whatsoever. Being in a car with these drivers it will make you believe in God.

Communication is essential to our human nature but drivers since they are not human they have a different ways of language one unknown. Their universal language is like no other it has the power to make you feel like crap in a few seconds. This language is full of emotions like madness and most of the times anger. Here in Puerto Rico, people are careless and they like cursing each other; saying how bad people drive. My opinion is that they all are bad drivers. My question is why do drivers curse at each other? Why can they understand each other cursing? My theory was that’s their language, their sense of understanding. Is this either a way of testing their knowledge of bad driving or a way of testing their patience? Both drivers from Peru and Puerto Rico may have different languages but they all seem to understand themselves when it comes to the point of cursing each other. That’s their universal language for all drivers no matter where they are from or how different they say it but the emotion and the expression they put into it.

Another symptom or defect I found both have is their way of losing the sense of color and blindness. Color blindness is when colors are seen from different way are not the exact color. In the laws of the road that drivers are expected to follow they are suppose to not be color blinded, why? Because in the road there are crossroads in which is important to stop at a certain time. The only way to know when to stop is by this artifact called traffic light. This traffic light which has three colors green which means go and red stop and orange prepare to stop. Drivers don’t seem to care nothing about the lights that represent stop and go. Is either they are color blind or simply they find the lights like it was a Christmas decoration. I have experienced old people who are really blind and they don’t see the light and they pass right through. For drivers who are suppose to know the road rules cant be excluded for such acts of color blindness. I have seen drivers shouting to the light and communicating (cursing) with it. I have seen expression of anger against one little green light who has no purpose but to evade accidents happen. Sometime I wonder, do they know what color is the light? I guess that drivers should be color blind because to simply evading it by no reason demonstrates that they want to get somewhere without stopping. Its like their eyes are on their destination.

Both Peruvian and Puerto Rican are insane drivers with mad skills. I think that those places on the world are the places where nascar drivers go practice. They lack fear, and are always persistent on getting to their destination. I can tell that there are many people not only in Puerto Rico or in Peru but everywhere that break the laws on the road. Puerto Rico and Peru are full of wicked drivers who are color blind, careless of what the law states and where they see the world as a course for practice. There are drivers that may seem from different places but still show the same behavior. In other words, it’s like having the road full of Nascar drivers who are simply going round and round; their goal is their destination. These professional drivers who are not afraid of their consequences and they will meet their destination. The road is for those who lose their sense of sight and aren’t afraid of nothing on the road. No matter where you go, there will always be a driver either Peru or Puerto Rico showing how good driving is supposed to be like. Warning!, be careful of their consequences.

Rogerian Argument Model Essay: “Law 7”


Everyday I turn the radio, television, or read the newspaper and I see all about the Economic problem that has Puerto Rico. The people say it’s an impossible debt and the government says there is plan going to take action to resolve the economic problem. The next day I see people suffering and struggling to maintain a family and to survive the economic crisis. Next day, I see people crying for help because they were fired from their jobs and they can’t manage to sustain their family. Now day in Puerto Rico people have been fired from their jobs, more than 13,000 people and it keeps rising due to a law made by the government to end our economic crisis. The plan that was made to save us from the economic problem has now been a great wall to many families and put them to struggle even worse. People of this Country are not very comfortable with the decision made by this government and the law made by them to fire so many people. Numbers of families without an economic income keeps rising due to the economic plan. People can’t afford being fired from their jobs because that’s everything they have to sustain their families. So this law to fire so many people to dissolve the debt it has affected a lot the families of this country and those who depend on a single job.

This country was told of an enormous debt it had and we wanted change and to save this country from bankrupt. The economic problem has been critical for years now and still if a problem now day. People hope that is ends everyday and seeks a solution to the status. The more time this crisis is happening the more people get affected so the sooner this matter is resolved the better things will get for everyone. This country needs to reinforce the economic and by firing people and taking out the source of their income will only get things worse. This country is leading to an end and with desperation we seek a solution. We found one a solution and it is called law seven and at first it seemed at as good decision even though some thought differently. The people listened to a man say how it would work and that it would assure to end part of the economic crisis. The people started together to seek a common solution and we found a common enemy. Now we have another crisis in our hands and it is about people having no money to sustain their families because they lost a job. Families who only survive only on a week’s income now don’t have anything. I heard about a dad who has an only son and his son has cancer and he lost his job to law seven and he can’t afford to pay for his son’s medications. There are those who have studied all of their life to get a job and now they would do ANYTHING to earn weeks income. Is this the cost of our economic debt? This law seven was made in need of desperation to stop the country from falling.

The truth is that this debt will never end and the people need to attack this enemy. People are desperate and we need a solution and having people struggle thru necessities is not a solution. Thou the country are in crisis so is workless people a crisis. In our journey seeking a solution we have found possible solutions to end this common enemy that is ripping families. There are families who have only one source of income by giving them their only source of income or at least give the families who don’t have anything one source of income so they can manage their hunger and to survive while the economic crisis ends. There are many resources in this country that we can exploit but exploiting our own selves won’t end the crisis. The truthful solution is in giving people resources necessary to sustain a family or their necessities. People are willing to work to together to end this crisis why not create a plan that could unite those people and find a place to work. Every year people leave this country not because they suffer necessities but because they have a preparation and can’t find a working place but by giving them a working place we reinforce our economy and at the same time families. This country needs more than just a solution to end economic crisis but an education on how to prevent people from falling in an economic crisis.
