Will I be a Good Student?

In whatever you study, what works for one person doesn’t always work for you. Ask yourself, what does a good student do? Would or could you do that to achieve your goals? 

Some traits I think a good student has:

Study daily – 5 minutes or 5 hours of study isn't important, doing it daily does.

Get out of their comfort zones – If something is easy, you know it. If something is challenging or difficult, you’re learning it.

Patience – Not understanding something immediately is fine, you may not have enough practice or knowledge to understand it yet.

Curiosity – How and why are useful words to use to expand your knowledge in whatever you are studying.

Using different resources – When learning or researching, resources are needed. Use books not a book, applications not an application, websites not a website, people not a person. Many resources are better than only one.

Unafraid to ask questions – Another trait related to curiosity is, if you don’t know something, ask someone who does. Especially if you are attending classes.

Comfortable making mistakes – Knowing how something doesn’t work is equally important as how it does work. Mistakes shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable, it’s learning.

Correct their mistakes – Correcting their mistake before or when it happens. Repeating the same mistakes every time is not learning. More practice is needed.

Open to new ideas – There is always something unknown, new, or different to what you expect to learn.

Get help – Whether it’s to help learn, practice, or motivate; get support from others.

These are only a few traits I would imagine a good student would have. Could I follow these traits? Most of them. Will I be a good student? Maybe, if I had some help!
