How to Be a Good Student?
Knowledge is the most powerful gift God has ever given to mankind. That is why there are schools and universities all over the world so that they could educate people. Any student must attempt strenuously in order to reach his/her goal. When I was in high school, I used to get low grades and skip classes. After applying the following tips I realized that I can reach any goal I set my eyes on by being a good student. First, do not procrastinate. If you put off your assignments until the night before they are due, it makes it harder and more stressful to complete it. Believe me, you will feel much better if you did your assignments on time. Second, it is important to attend class as much as possible. It is hard to know what the teacher expects from you on certain assignments if you are not present when they teacher gives out directions. Many students skip classes for one reason or another. There are reasons why you should attend all your classes: sitting in the classroom and listening to the lectures will help you absorb the materials. Plus, you can have a direct impact on your grade simply by attending. Third, you should be spending at least three hours studying. And for some classes, you’ll find you need a lot more time than that. Study early and often. Try to make studying a habit you can enjoy doing anytime. Know how you can study. Some people need complete silence to concentrate while others like a little noise. Find what works for you and stick with it. Study with friends to gain support, but do not turn it into a party. A study buddy can be a great tool, as long as you actually get some studying accomplished. Make sure work is done before doing anything. Studying is critical to learning, which is critical to better grades, so do the work before heading out to have fun. Forth, do all of your homework right after school. This is a great tip that I didn't learn until the last few years of high school. When I found this out, I was so excited to do this that I did it everyday and life was so much easier. After your homework, you can do anything you want. Finally, there is another tip. Remember to think of your teachers as your friend not your enemy. I hope that by following these tips will help you to be a good student and accomplish your aims and goals.
