25 qualities of a good student

Who says you have to have an IQ above average to be an A-list student? Those who are determined can lead the class. It’s just a matter of perspective coupled with hard work.

Qualities of a good student

If you want to start the school year off right, check out these 25 qualities of a good student that will inspire you to excel:

1. Goal-oriented

Having both short-term and long-term goals will help you achieve something. Short-term goals might include finishing each semester with at least a 90, 1.75, or an A- for an overall grade, depending on your school’s grading system. Examples of a long-term goal would be graduating with a Latin honors degree, or at least graduating on time.

2. Inspired

There should always be something that motivates you to give your best in your studies. One could be your parents’ hard work or sacrifices just to send you to school.

3. Hardworking

This means spending extra hours at night studying your lessons and completing your assignments. In short, you must overcome laziness and procrastination.

4. Endurance

Perseverance equals hard work. No matter how challenging your subjects/courses are, you will not give up and settle for mediocrity. You will always try enough or more to achieve excellence or achievement.

5. On time

A good student is not a defaulter. Yes, punctuality is difficult to maintain, but if you’re determined to get the most out of your studies, you’ll make an effort to get to school early. Not only will this save you from a bad impression, but it will also save you from missing early tests and other activities.

6. Polite

Being respectful of your teachers, school staff, and fellow students is a sign that you are more than just a good student—you are a good person. So make it a habit to greet, or at least smile at, those you meet in the hallways.

7. Honest

Cheaters don’t make good students so say goodbye to your cheating friends. Exams are assessments of your learning. That said, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get perfect results, as long as you can judge how much you’ve learned from a lesson.

8. Team players

Often you have to work together with your classmates in group activities. So if you want to get a positive result for every performance, you have to work with them. Treating your groupmates as competitors wouldn’t do your grades any good.

9. Resourceful

Being resourceful means finding ways when there seems to be no way. For example, if you have a project but lack the funds, you can recycle materials that can be used to create it.

10. Participatory

Recitation and participation in class are major contributors to your performance as a student. Because of this, you must shake off that shyness and be confident in participating in every discussion and activity.

11. Organized

A good student makes sure they are organized in everything – including time management and school supplies. This way you avoid cramming and forgetting where you inserted your tasks.

12. Competitive

This isn’t about seeing your classmates as rivals. Instead, being competitive means you don’t back down from challenging activities in your classes. For example, if your teacher gives you a difficult math problem, try to solve it on your own instead of just waiting for your classmates to figure it out.

13. Confident

You do not hesitate to voice your ideas in class, enter competitions or join a school organization. you believe in yourself

14. Friendly

A good student is also good at socialization. The only thing that might stop you from becoming friends with your classmates is that you either see them as a threat to your goal of being top of the class, or you think you’re not good enough to be friends with them . Both are signs of insecurity.

15. Frugal

Since you don’t have any money of your own yet, appreciate every penny you get from your parents or someone who supports you. Or if you have a part-time job just to send yourself to school, then you surely understand how hard it is to make money.

16th patient

Unless you are a genius, there may be times when you struggle to master your lessons or some skills. Instead of succumbing to frustration, you must be patient with your progress no matter how slow it is. The important thing is that you don’t stop learning and trying.

17. Good follower

Even if you think you are better than your group leader, you should submit to his/her leadership and avoid showing off to prove yourself. Also, you must be good at following your teachers’ instructions and obeying the school rules.

18. Balanced

A good student is someone who can be versatile. That said, you should not forget that you also have other roles in life, e.g. B. Being a child, a sibling and a friend. Make sure you can still help with the housework, spend time with your family, and hang out with your friends from time to time.

19. Responsible

It simply means that you can meet your school requirements on time, review or study your classes before exam dates, and take care of the assignments assigned to you by your teacher or your groupmates.

20. Self Employed

A self-employed student is independent. That means you can handle your requests on your own and with little supervision.

21. Optimistic

You can’t expect an entire school year to go smoothly. The best way to survive triumphantly and without too much stress is to have a positive attitude. Never give up no matter how hard it gets.

22. Initiated

A good student has initiative. They initiate tidying up the room, suggest ideas to the group, and volunteer when the teacher asks for participants for an activity.

23. Teachable

You’re not really a student if you think you know everything. Being teachable means being humble, accepting corrections, and asking for help when you don’t fully understand a lesson.

24. Disciplined

If you want to be an excellent student, you must focus on your goals. That means limiting yourself to TV, social media, and other hobbies to give yourself more time to study.

25. Prayerful

If you believe that God is the giver of this opportunity to be in school, then don’t forget to acknowledge and thank Him. You can also ask Him for constant guidance and strength in whatever you do.

So what else can I say? Just do your best, but never forget to enjoy your student life. Like you said, “Party hard, but study harder”.
