23 Qualities of A Good Student
Students are the leaders of the next
generation of any nation. Hence, they have to be groomed and trained to be
people with excellent qualities. However, in order to respond as required to
the lessons thought by coaches, parents, and teachers, students must possess
the following 23 great qualities to become good students.
Qualities of A Good
Student
01.
Discipline
The
first quality of a good student is discipline. This means a student who aspires
to be excellent must adhere to his/her study timetable strictly and obey the
instructions of coaches, teachers, and parents every day.
02. Building
Relationships
A student who aspires to be the best always
maintains a cordial relationship not just with staff and teachers but with
fellow students as well. This enables him/her to focus intensely on
extra-curricular sessions and studies effectively. Also, building quality
relationships helps a student to be able to partake in things like study groups
with other students to broaden his/her mind on topics that are difficult for
the student.
03. Asking
Relevant Questions
Asking questions might make a student look
like a “fool” initially but in the long run, it separates a good student from
an average or bad student. A student that asks questions a lot either to
clarify what the teacher has said or to solve a doubt on a particular subject
matter easily becomes excellent in such areas. Because the student has had any
misunderstanding completely erased, allowing for a brilliant performance. A
good student would even not shy away from asking classmates or seniors to
clarify hard questions.
04. Sense of Respect
Good students would certainly always possess a
great level of respect for the laws of the nation, society, and school as well
as societal norms. Students who excel effortlessly always place the country’s
goals over their personal ones. They are even willing to push aside academic
interests when the duty of their nation demands it. In cases like floods,
earthquake and other natural disasters they eagerly provide their services.
Aside from obeying the laws of the land, good students have in general great
respect for their teachers and fellow students which allows them to put their full
focus on their education and not on grievances initiated from disrespect.
05. Taking
Responsibility
Responsibility is one of the marks of top
performers and this goes for good students too. They never put the blame on
their mistakes or faults on excuses but take full responsibility for their
actions and own up to the results of such actions. Good students also take the
responsibility to develop their character while in school to be
able to have effective skills after graduation.
06. Participating in Extra-Curricular Activities
Students should not relent in participating in
an extracurricular activity, whether it’s sports, arts or any other kind, as
these are targeted at building the overall capacity of a student. Hence, a good
student is actively involved in extra-curricular in order to obtain development
on all sides of his/her personality. However, when engaging in these activities
good students do not put aside their studies and are able to maintain a balance.
07. Searching Knowledge
The pursuit of relevant knowledge is a
necessary quality of good students. The more knowledge a student acquires, the
hungrier for knowledge the student develops. The acquisition of knowledge
sharpens the mind and aids the student to seamlessly flow in their studies.
08. Working Hard
Good students possess the ability to put their
all in their studies, by not relying only on the coursework outline given to
them by their teachers but research widely online and through various
recommended texts to gain a broader understanding of various concepts and
understand a topic from a different perspective. All these can only be done
with hard work, as it takes hours to study effectively. It’s non-negotiable
that smart hard work is the secret of success and it remains true for students.
09. Punctuality
Research has shown that people who excel in
any field have great honor and respect for time. Students who produce excellent
results keep to the time allotted for projects and assignments. This helps them
avoid mark deductions from late submissions, allowing for the receiving of full
marks.
10. Attentive to Lesson
Being attentive to what is being taught in a
classroom is one of the great qualities of a good student. During lectures,
they focus intensely on what the teacher is trying to pass across and this aids
immensely because they don’t have to try to understand a concept on their own
after classes because they didn’t pay attention when it was being explained.
This makes it very easy for topics to be understood.
11. Self Confidence
Self-confidence is a major backbone to success
and this goes for students too. A student who is confident in his/her ability
to perform excellently in his/her studies most often does well. Due to the fact
that confidence ensures the student puts his best in the work assigned.
12. Positive Attitude
Good students have to show they see willing to
put in hard work and not just coming to school for social activities. A
positive attitude helps a student to maintain top-notch results despite
mistakes or faults previously and also is the reason behind the drive to work
hard.
13. Setting-up Aim
Without a well-defined goal, no student can
achieve quality results. A good student always sets up his aim at the beginning
of every school term or session. This initiates the tenacity to get those
results as the student constantly is reminded of what he/she is aiming for. A
student must always look beyond the hardships of education and place his/her
goals as the focus.

classroom. He should listen to what his parents and teachers say and do
accordingly. This quality is also essential for a student to be a good listener

has to build and develop his listening skills first.
15. Having Smartness

quickly and act on his feet. Being smart certainly makes teachers fall in love
with a student, this is because smartness comes with the skill of
problem-solving. This quality is a rare one but good students possess it.
A smart student not only makes it easier for
his teachers but also assists in helping other students easily understand
concepts being taught. Most times this quality of a good student is developed
through study and paying maximum attention when a topic is being taught in the
classroom. This makes topics appear easier for them than other students who
don’t invest as much hard work.
16. Good Manners
Teachers will let you know that a class full
of students who are well mannered, following procedures and rules always have a
higher chance of showcasing their full learning potential. Students who behave
properly are much more likely to learn better than their classmates who
statistics on disciplinary actions.
So many students who are very smart but have
bad manners end up being major frustrations for their teachers due to not
maximizing their full learning potential except their manners are changed. It’s
much easier for coaches or teachers to deal with well-behaved students even
when they have academic struggles. No one wants to work with bad-mannered
students, constantly orchestrating problems however teachers would do anything
for students who exhibit respect, politeness and are obedient to rules.
17. Having Seriousness
Students who excel have a serious-minded
approach to education. They resist procrastination and laziness when it comes

projects properly, seriousness towards their academic pursuits endear a good
student to his/her teacher. This allows the teacher to give his all to ensure

distinguishes a student that excels and an average student. Students who
schedule their time and day always yield better results than those that do not.
Organizing their study time, assessment time,
etc is things that aid a good student greatly. This organization’s quality even
goes beyond activities to be done in school. It helps students begin preparing
for the next stage after schooling, giving them a head start to their
classmates.

Most times students fail to understand
concepts being taught to them because of how complex their minds are. However,
this is not so for good students. An excellent student keeps his/her mind
simple, allowing for difficult concepts to be broken down and easily solved.
This is very important because it is the norm for students to have complex
mindsets regarding academic pursuits but good students always perform above the
norm.
20. Keeping Updating

success. Good students do not rely on past information but are constantly in
search of new knowledge. They refuse to remain outdated in terms of academic
pursuits. What this means is that a student who must excel must be an avid

learning is an enhancement in the academic arena. Hence, a good student is one
