This may include making some sacrifices in other areas of your life. A motivated student feels that college and a class in particular is where she or he wants to be. They are committed to academic success. When you are motivated to succeed in a college course you will make studying this subject a priority. These are only questions you can answer.
Motivated students are willing to listen effectively.
They listen to lectures with a receptive mind and with complete attention. They write everything down that is put on the board and they add notes about the instructor's emphasis and comments. Motivated students review their notes regularly and ask questions about things they don't understand. Motivation comes primarily from within. And the nice thing is that, when you are motivated, you almost always come to enjoy what you are doing.
