Studying Techniques

The way students study might influence in our results. In terms of studying, there are a lot of factors that we can take into account in order to success and achieve our objetives. Some of these factors are the environment the students are and the way pupils eat.

I had students that mentioned that if they might have studied more, they might have a better grade. But, when I asked them, where do usually you study? most of answers agreed. The common place for a teenager to study is in their room laying on the bed.

According to studies, people should study in a place where they feel comfortable, but the body must have a good posture, otherwise it could be very difficult for the brain to focus when it has to think about finding the correct posture even when we are not conscious about it.

At the moment of studying students should have all the needed material.They must be in a calm place; some classic music can help the brain to be focused. The better conditions students have, the better resutls they might get. 

The other factor to take into consideration is the way students eat. It is not a secret that everyone needs a healthy life style in order to be have a well performance in different fields. Some students are not well nourished, and this aspect clearly affects the way students study. If students are hungry, their brain is trying to fulfill that need, and it is not paying so much attention to what pupils are studying. There are a lot of students that barely eat because of his economic condition. In most of those cases, their grades are affected. According to nutritionists people should eat at least 5 times a day; each meal should be well balanced in order to provide all the nutrients our body needs for its well performance.

They are more aspects that determine the results students have in their studies, but the ones mentioned before are quite important and they are on top in the list. 

If students change some of the aspects in their daily routine, they might have good results.

This year has brought many changes to my life, however, I have tried to stick with the things that I am used to doing.

At the beginning of the year my father died. Even though it was not difficult for me, It was for my mother. We had to help her with the mourning period.

Then, after being working for 5 years in the same place, I was relocated. I started working in Alajuela. This year has been very difficult to me since I live in Cartago. I spend a lot of time driving. So this year I have been behind the wheel so much time. Situation that with the rainy season has increased because there are more traffic jams. Besides all that I have been tired and exhausted lately because the load of work is a lot.

This year I wanted to study something else; that is why I got into the university to study photography. I have been taking two courses, introduction to digital photography and photoshop I. I have been learning how to use the camera properly and different techniques in order to take good pictures.I have been motivated; however all this is time consuming, and when I put everything together, work, commute, university, exercise, and family; the situation is tiring. 

In the past recent days, I have been feeling excited and happy; since I got a tenure for next year. I am going to be working a place near home. Knowing that has made me happy.

This year is almost finishing and I have been planing my vacation period. I am going to travel to Miami and Chicago; so I hope to visit all the landmarks that I want.

I know that we can'y foresee what is coming but next year I hope to continue with all the projects I have.
