Being a high school student is not as easy as it seems. One has to endure the stress caused by sleepless nights of studying difficult and boring lessons. As a high school geek, one must go through strings of hardships to be praised by your not-so-typical teachers. First of all, always keep in mind that you must strive harder for the improvement of your totally-wrecked grades. Set a goal to achieve for it enhances more your determination to gain progress in school. Next, love the teacher and his dreadful subject. Funny but true, this philosophy works out most of the time and I do not know why its existence is much of a great help. My friend and classmate told me that the humorous principle works because the teacher will eventually like you for loving his subject. Funny it seems, I tried to like my subject teachers but their subjects don’t love me in return that is why I end up having only grades little higher than the standards. I guess that philosophy does not work out for happy-go-lucky guys.
Third, never lose concentration during classes even though you are having a hard time understanding every detail of your lessons. Unfortunately, I have a short span of concentration that is why I sleep during class hours when I do not understand the writings on the blackboard. Please do not be such a fool like me because you will only end up scolded by the teacher and be embarrassed in front of your classmates. Now that explains my stupidity.
Fourth in the checklist is that you must always pass your homework and projects earlier than the deadline of submissions. I am not saying that you just pass a mediocre and hastily-done project but rather a well-made one. This will definitely help in because it constitutes one third of your class grades. It does not only make your scores higher than the usual one but it also leaves a positive effect on your teacher’s perception towards you. Next, be good to everyone in the school campus and do your obligations as a responsible student and a model to younger schoolmates.
Lastly, learn to enjoy yourself. Have leisure time by either playing basketball or any kind of sport. You can also take naps during snack breaks so that you will not fall asleep when the teacher is having a lesson.
These are just few of the thousand tips to be a better student and at the same time, a better person. Just like what the movie Coach Carter portrays to everyone, education is the only best option if you want to succeed all circumstances in life.
We should be thankful that we are still studying as of the moment because not everyone is blessed with the opportunity to go to school. Education is the key to one’s success and not as a burden to carry or an opportunity to waste. In life, we must do what it takes because everything happens for a reason. We may not be perfect in nature but we can do better to be almost perfect.
