What Makes a Student?
A student must possess a number of qualities in order to be really considered a person dedicated to study and the acquisition of knowledge. Those traits include: motivation, organization, and dedication. Without these three traits, an individual will not be a student, let alone a good one or one who succeeds in academic advancement at any level. This paper will analyze why motivation, organization and dedication are three positive traits that a student will have, no matter what the discipline is or where the study is taking place.
The idea that motivation is the driving force of human behavior was first put forward by Maslow in 1943. Maslow identified a hierarchy of needs that explained the motivation of human behavior: people acted according to whatever level of needs had to be met at a given time.

An ability to be organized is just as necessary. An organized person is one who knows how to sparse out the time.

In order to be a good student, one must know how to organize the day, plan one’s tasks, assess the requirements for each class and prioritize accordingly. Student life requires setting aside time for study, time for reading, time for going to class, time for doing homework—and also time for recreation, which allows the mind and body a bit of rest so that both can be restored and refreshed enough to get back to work when it is time.
