Study plans

No matter if you really care about school, and study real hard, or whether your grades are low, we all have to take responsibility for our education, right? So you might think it sounds lame, but these tips will definitely help you.
I therefore just wanted to give you a few tips which will help you succeed in school much easier:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Attitude is the keyword. Be positive to your learning, and think of it as a great chance to make something good out of your future. Just by giving your teachers a smile everyday, your teachers will see you differently. You should also show good attitude to your learning (and I know it sounds so nerdy....), by thinking that you can do it etc.

2. Organization: When you are doing your homework you should be organized since the final result will tend to be so much better, plus you can save yourself a lot of time. So, when studying: turn your music off, have your desk cleaned, and focus on your work. That means that you shouldn't watch TV while studying, since you will only get half as much done. Last but not least; an important part of being organized is of course to organize all your work, and a good way is to have separate folders for different subjects, or a planner to write down all your homework and reminders.

3.) Read and re-read. This is one mistake I often do, and I am sure that there are many other people out there who do it to; we don't read the rubrics/questions properly. Does the English teacher ask for a two pages long essay on a subject? Well, then it is two, not four. Overdoing your work is not always good: It is quality that counts, not quantity. This is also important in tests: Read the questions a few times, so you are sure what they are asking for. It is not worth loosing points on easy questions, just because you misread.
