The New Year is a great time to reflect on the changes we want to or need to make, I am a student looking at ways to improve thyself and make the transition to senior high school easierCommit yourself to getting good grades. Good grades are entirely necessary to get into a good school unless you’re a top notch athlete. The best case scenario is that you have good grades from the beginning.
Stop procrastinating. How often have you underestimated how much time it will take to get something done? Then, how sad are you when you don’t have the time to do your best. At some point, the procrastinator has to write four college essays in one night – on top of completing schoolwork. Usually, this doesn’t turn out so well. If you finish a project earlier than you thought you would, then consider yourself ahead.
Don’t do it all. It’s better to concentrate on a few things and excel in them than if you join every sport, activity and club that you can cram into your schedule. Anyone can join 10 clubs and be marginally involved in them all. Schools are looking for commitment that shows you’re willing to stick with something and make the most of it.
Banish the self-doubt. Doubting your own abilities only holds you back from achieving what you want to achieve. Just say no to these thoughts and others like“I can’t do this.”, “I’m not as smart as my classmates.”, “I’ll never get better than a 2.7 grade-point average.” “I’ll only get into a community college anyway” “There’s no point in thinking I’ll get into my first choice college.”
This year is my year, and I will claim it
