If you could be any character in a book who would you be: “The main character in Slam, because even though he went through a lot in the end everything was good.”
If you could live during any time period, which would it be: “The 21st century because of the technology and all the cool things that are out now.”
Two random facts about me:
1.) “My family is from Ethiopia.”
2.) “I like to sing.”
Favorite Quote: “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds. Won’t you help to sing the songs of freedom?” – Bob Marley

CSAP Tip #7: Don’t Freak Out! Reducing Test Taking Anxiety
February 23, 2010 by Spamp ·
Relax! It can make all the difference in the way you perfume on test.
Test anxiety is when a student excessively worries about doing well on a test. This can become a major hindrance on test performance and cause extreme nervousness and memory lapses among other symptoms.
The following are tips on reducing test taking anxiety:
• Space out your studying over a few days or weeks and continually review class material. Don’t try to learn everything the night before.
• Try to maintain a positive attitude while preparing for the test and during the test.
• Exercising for a few days before the test will help reduce stress.
• Get a good night’s sleep before the test.
• Show up to class early so you won’t have to worry about being late.
• Stay relaxed, if you begin to get nervous take a few deep breaths slowly to relax yourself and then get back to work.
•Read the directions slowly and carefully.
• If you don’t understand the directions on the test, ask the teacher to explain it to you.
• Skim through the test so that you have a good idea how to pace yourself.
• Write down important formulas, facts, definitions and/or keywords in the margin first so you won’t worry about forgetting them.
