Self-Dependency in Academics endeavors -By Bello Abudari
When you rely on others to achieve your academic goals, you become vulnerable to setbacks and disappointments. Self-dependency helps you to build resilience and bounce back from setbacks, which is crucial in achieving long-term success.
Self-dependency is a crucial trait that every student should possess when it comes to academic activities. It is the ability to take control of your academic life, be responsible for your actions and decisions, and work towards achieving your goals without relying solely on external support.
Here are some reasons why self-dependency matters in academic activities:
Develops critical thinking skills: Being self-dependent requires you to think critically and solve problems on your own. This approach not only helps you to develop a deeper understanding of the subject but also enhances your critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Promotes self-motivation: When you depend on others to do your academic tasks, you lose the motivation to learn and grow. Self-dependency, on the other hand, motivates you to take the initiative and strive for excellence in your academic endeavors.
Encourages ownership and responsibility: Self-dependency promotes the development of a sense of ownership and responsibility towards your academic performance. You become accountable for your actions, and you take ownership of your achievements and shortcomings.
Fosters independence: Self-dependency encourages independence, which is an essential skill for personal growth and development. You learn to rely on yourself and trust your abilities, which can be beneficial beyond academic pursuits.
Builds resilience: When you rely on others to achieve your academic goals, you become vulnerable to setbacks and disappointments. Self-dependency helps you to build resilience and bounce back from setbacks, which is crucial in achieving long-term success.
In conclusion, self-dependency is a vital trait that every student should strive to develop in their academic pursuits. It not only promotes critical thinking, self-motivation, and independence but also fosters a sense of ownership, responsibility, and resilience. By being self-dependent, you can achieve academic success and develop life-long skills that will be beneficial beyond your academic pursuits.
