Education: The only way to success

Education: The only way to success

ECDC board members organized a workshop for high school students that reside in the Greater Boston area. The seminar was conducted on October 11, 2014 by Dr. Tesfay Aradom. Dr. Tesfay gave a thorough lecture on how the students can excel in school by improving their study habits. He emphasized that the discipline that the students acquire in high school will prepare them to be more successful when they will join college in the near future.

Dr. Tesfay also taught the students an easy method (SQ3R) to study for subjects that require a lot of reading. He strongly advised the students to practice and practice on the SQ3R studying method until they master it. He told the students that the SQ3R method is used by undergraduate and graduate college students.

In between the lecture, the students participated in group activities whereby each student had to share their personal experience on how to tackle challenging academic situations such as bad grades and/or tough subjects. The ideas that the students were generating individually and collectively were simply amazing.

Finally, Dr. Tesfay advised the students to work diligently in high school. Based on his personal experience as a college instructor, he strongly advised the students not to procrastinate on school work, be it homework or term papers.

The workshop took approximately 3 hours. Pizza was provided to the students after the workshop. Since Dr. Tesfay did not finish lecturing everything that he had prepared for, a follow-up workshop will be conducted in the coming 3 to 4 weeks. Every high school student is welcome to attend (see the address below). The actual date and time will be announced as soon as possible.
