Are You A Peer Role Model?

Everyone sees the world from different eyes- there are as many personal points of view as there are people in the world...

The correct answer is "No, I have no idea what is going on." because the statement in the question suggests that the person can automatically judge who is right and wrong when they see two people arguing. However, the answer contradicts this by saying that they have no idea what is going on, indicating that they cannot make a judgment in this situation.

The correct answer is setting aside enough study time each night and making sure I know what my assignments are. This answer is correct because it demonstrates a good study habit. By setting aside enough study time each night, the person is prioritizing their academic work and giving themselves enough time to complete their assignments. Additionally, by making sure they know what their assignments are, they are staying organized and prepared, which is essential for successful studying.

It is important to advocate for yourself as a middle school student- getting along and talking to your teachers outside of class time (maybe during recess or another time when they are available) is a good skill. They can give you feedback and pointers not only about your academic work, but also about your class behavior. For example, maybe your teacher would like you to speak up more in class or maybe they would like you to speak up less and let other students have a chance to share. Whatever their feedback is, make sure you take the time to say " thank you" and use this information to be the best student you can be!

Community service is simply helping out your community: most schools, such as Trottier Middle School, have graduation requirements for community service. Every community values member participation and it is great to show yourself and others that you want to help and can make a real difference by doing your part.

Students have very different abilities and we know now that there are multiple types of intelligence. If you lack specific academic skills, such as test taking or study skills, ask your teachers and guidance counselor for help. Your success as a middle school student will depend on your effort and persistence- remember: if you want to succeed, you will!

Pushing ourselves to try new things is an important part of middle school- these challenges help us to become resilient and develop great coping strategies to use in new situations.

Tests are measures of your current knowledge- sometimes we need more time to understand concepts and sometimes we have not put enough effort into our studying. Talk to your teacher and guidance counselor if you think this is a continuing problem for you: bad grades are just a signal that something needs to be fixed.

Some students think they can remember their assignments without writing them down, but it is too hard to remember each specific direction- write them down and then check them off as you finish each task.
