Graduate at the top of My Class

I’m going to take final exams in my first couple of master courses next week, so these days most of my time is dedicated to studying.

One thing that I’m experimenting with is to make mind maps – It is a powerful tool for learning, gaining and retaining understanding and memorize information!

Basically a mind map is a memorable way to graphically/visually outline and organize using colors, symbols, levels, and relationships.

You start with a word/picture/idea in the middle of a paper and then branch out from there – first your main points, then each of those branched into sub points. Utilizing color and pictures/symbols, as well as the design, helps you to remember the ideas, information and relationships easier.

I really believe it is helping my so I can for sure recommend it to others. There is also a lot of information about mind maps on the internet for those who want to learn more about it ;)

I’ll start working on this goal in August 2009 when I move abroad to pursue a masters degree in Economics. Of course I’ll do my best to reach this goal and hopefully it will be enough to beat the competition :)

So far I’m #2 with only two years left to get to the top! I hope I can do it! I’m trying my absolute best this year.

I tried to be at the top of my class, but there were some problems coming up and it was’n easy. I’m not that bad, especially with these problems, but it wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be.

Just graduated from the local police academy. Well, I didn’t finish #1 in my class. I did receive the “Overall Outstanding Student Award’ and ended up with #2 in grades. It ain’t all bad, now to find a job!

I was saluditorian of my high school class. It was nice, I guess. I got to give a speech, woo hoo? haha. i was nervous, but it was fun.. especially afterwards =D

Now I’d like to graduate in the top 10 percent of my college class.

eh, maybe. it would be nice though.

19th .. h0pefully higher once school starts back up!
