Studying well requires a lot of preparation, keeping your focus, and a positive attitude. Here are some tips for studying effectively:

  1. Create a study schedule: Plan out your study time in advance and stick to a routine.

  2. Find a suitable study environment: Choose a quiet, well-lit space where you can focus and minimize distractions.

  3. Break down large tasks into smaller ones: Divide complex subjects into smaller, more manageable chunks.

  4. Stay organized: Keep notes, handouts, and other study materials in a neat and organized fashion.

  5. Active learning: Instead of passively reading or listening, actively engage with the material by taking notes, asking questions, and summarizing what you've learned.

  6. Practice recalling information: Test yourself regularly on what you have learned to reinforce your understanding.

  7. Take breaks: Give your mind a break and recharge by taking short breaks every hour or so.

  8. Get plenty of sleep: A well-rested mind is essential for effective learning and retention.

  9. Stay motivated: Keep yourself motivated by setting goals, rewarding yourself, and reminding yourself of why you're studying.

  10. Ask for help: If you need assistance, don't be afraid to ask a teacher, tutor, or classmate for help.

Remember, everyone has a different learning style, so experiment with these tips and find what works best for you.

My work experiences at STI Ilagan

I am lucky enough to be hired by STI-Ilagan, Inc after graduation. It is the same school that I finished the two-year Diploma course in Information Technology from year 2001 until 2003. I learned computer programming, data structures, a lot more.

Throughout the two years, I gained knowledge in computer programming. I learned how to setup a website like this one and to maintain this blog site for my random thoughts.

I worked at STI from April 2003 until November 2008. That's more than five years worth of working experience working in the education industry.
