Reading secret formula is: #1 Remove Distractions + #2 Take Notes + #6 Set Aside Time to Read = Success.
When I graduate I want to be a civil engineer and hope to have a job right after I graduate. I have never really like reading but did it because it was required and I would fail the class if I didn’t. Now that I’m in college there’s even more reading. I needed some help or I was in trouble. That’s why I took LLED because my advisor told me it would help me adjust to college workloads and all the required texts. Let me just say I’m glad I did because if I didn’t I wouldn’t have nearly the grades I have right now. My reading secrets I use would be remove distractions, take notes, and set aside time to read. I have found these bring the most success on a daily basis. As an engineer my classes are only going to get harder and harder as the year’s progress and if I want to continue success I will have to continue to use these reading secrets and get plenty of sleep. One event that caused me to change my school habits would be a paper I had to do for English 15. I waited till the last minute and when I got it back I got a 60%. I was shocked because I had always done well in English. I knew something had to change so I started to follow and try what I was learning in LLED. We could make revisions and turn the paper back in for another grade the next week. I started ahead of time and when I got the paper back I got a 92%. I was surprised how well the strategies I learned had worked. I knew I needed to use these strategies from now on to continue my success and I still use them today to great success. I learned that when I used these strategies my grades increased quiet dramatically. These strategies also have motivated me to try and get higher grades then before and do the best I possibly can. If I run in to a situation like this next semester I will make sure to stop and look at what I’m doing wrong. After learning these reading secrets I now know to take action swiftly when an event like the one I had occurred to prevent it from happening again. Thanks to reading secrets I now have more free time then I’ve ever had before.
i did the same thing i had gotten a bad grade so i did what i was taught in lled and it helped a lot.
