1. Habits of successful college students
By and large, college students usually attend college seemingly for the
same goal, but they differ when it comes to the outcome in that only a few can
attain better results, while the majority fails. As I see it, these different
achievements can be explained by the fact that the successful students always
possess some characteristics and assets that make them distinguished. Based
on my own experience and on the video published on youtube about habits of
successful college students, I see that successful students do act in a
professional way. The key concern of this essay is to explain how these
successful students act professionally.
To begin with, successful students keep in mind that doing homework
assignment on a regular basis deems one of their aspects partly because it
gives an image to the instructor that these students are interested and eager to
work and partly because it helps learners foster and consolidate the ideas
covered in the class. Based on this belief, they try to turn their homework on
time. Additionally, such learners always come to class on time with a
beforehand preparation and are all the time equipped with the school
materials: books, pens, papers, syllabus …etc. Moreover, they do their best to
abide by the school rules (like being on time, apologizing if necessary, giving a
hand if asked…etc) and should not be afraid of asking queries when they see it
is crucial.
In accordance with the above, successful learners are all the time
endowed with a strong motivation to learn and deepen their knowledge and
improve performance and competences. Thus, they are ready to exploit the
most possible learning styles they possess with the intention of snatching
better grades. What is striking about successful students is that they are
emotionally able to accept lower scores, but also ready to learn from them and
seek to improve in the coming tests. When it comes to absenteeism, successful
students are bitterly critical of being absent for no reason unless it is an
emergency. When they are absent, they DO apologize for that, they send email
to the instructor and insist on one of the mates to recap on the main ideas
tackled in the class and copy the course they miss.
Ultimately, successful students favor to work collaboratively with their
classmates with a view to enhancing the understanding of the lesson and for

2. this belief, they are never selfish. Within the team work, they attempt to learn
and, in the meantime, instill good values including respect, the concept of time
management through being on time, take their job seriously. This does not
mean that these students are complete philanthropists; they take care of their
OWN private lives emotionally and physically. Finally, successful students
believe that the teacher is no longer the only source of knowledge and they
exploit available resources for more information accordingly. To sample this,
they use the Internet wisely to meet their needs and interests and they are
resourceful when something is out of their reach or cannot financially afford it.
Not to make much of it, the conclusion that we can draw from the
aforementioned ideas is that successful college students are endowed with
some of assets like being serious, courageous, motivated, respectful,
emotionally strong and sensible, which explain their triumphs at college and
justify their successful outcomes.
