We are now in October. One month of the school year has passed and nine months are remaining. That means that 10% of your academic year is gone. It went pretty quickly, didn't it? The remaining months will seem to pass just as quickly. At this point, it is time for you to look back at how your school year is going. Are you satisfied with ALL your marks? Do you feel that you will end up with the report card grades you want to get - for college admission, for your sense of self-worth, for the pride your parents want to feel about your accomplishments? If the answer is YES, then just keep doing what you've been doing. If the answer is NO, then examine what you can do to improve. Maybe it's to spend more time on homework - at home, in a quiet place, while you are wide awake and full of energy. Maybe it's to take better notes in class or make sure that you copy the assignments accurately. Maybe you have to spend more time studying for quizzes and tests. Whichever it is, YOU have the power to change the way your term and year are going. Nobody can do anything about the results you are getting except you yourself. Get started today!
