8 Ways To Do Well In School

I thought that I was the most intelligent person in the world. That was until I entered my first stage of school (nursery) that I began to doubt my self. It was not because I changed as a person. It was still me. However, it was as if something is missing. That was when I realized what it was: technique. Nothing in this life will come easy or effortlessly. You have to accept that there is always a technique that you have to discover.

Today, I would like to share with you the technique on how to do well in school.

Number 1: Be yourself. Although this is a technique, changing your self is not required. Simply be who you are. Be comfortable with being you.

Number 2: Always have a to-do-list. We are humans. We are not USBs. Sometimes, we forget. Most likely, forgetting something in school can be catastrophic on your grades.

Number 3: Do your homework, projects, etc. Not only will your skills improve, you'll also be rewarded with more grades. Also, most schools put a lot of weight on homework in terms of grades. The more you do your homework, the less likely that you will fail.

Number 4: Study. Studying is not limited to listening to your teacher and jotting down notes. On the tests that most teachers give (I speak on experience), there are lessons that were never discussed. On this note, we can assume that it is expected from students to go out of their way and learn the subject from as much resources as possible outside the classroom. This includes your textbook for the class, Wikipedia, other textbooks (you can check your school library for this), and more. More studying equates to better chances of acing your tests and do well in school!

Number 5: Recitation. Don't underestimate the incentives of reciting. This can also contribute on your grades, deportment, and recommendation letters (not to mention, resumes!).

Number 6: Extra-curricular activities. Some schools reward extra points on your grades when you join extra-curricular activities.

Number 7: Be on your best behavior, all the time. Some schools include deportment grades on report cards. Needless to say, your behavior is proportional to your deportment grades. Plus, you'll also have good recommendation letters and resume.

Number 8: Excel! Imagine school as a simulation of real life. How would you like to be remembered? How can you show that you are excelling? Catch the attention of the school community. And better, even outside the school community. Also, this can add to your grades (especially if done through extra-curricular activities), recommendation letters, and resume (which all contribute to a happy and successful life).

There you have it! The basic techniques on doing well in school. Do you have something more to add on the list? Don't forget to comment it. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
