Imagine that you're trapped in a dense,dark jungle.Virtually all
sunlight is blocked by the lush canopy overhead.Surrounded by thick
vegetation,you can barely move.To escape,you must cut your way through
with a machete.
Some would say that the experience of school is similar to the scene
described above.After all,you're trapped all day in the classroom and
hemmed in at night by hours of homework.Is that how you feel?Here are
some tools,you can use to clear a path through the jungle
¤TOOL1:A HEALTHY ATTITUDE TOWARD LEARNING.It's hard to be motivated to
do well in school if you have a negative view of learning.So try to be
positive towards learning
¤TOOL2:A POSITIVE VIEW OF YOUR ABILITIES.School can reveal your hidden
talents.Don't set yourself up for disaster by thinking that you're
simply not capable of improving.When beset with negative thoughts
about your abilities,replace them with positive thoughts.
¤TOOL 3:GOOD STUDY HABITS. There's no shortcut to success at
school.sooner or later,you have to study.Granted,that very word might
have an unpleasant ring to it.However,study is beneficial.In fact,
with a little effort,you may find it enjoyable.
ACTION PLAN
Find a study area: It should be free of distractions.Use a desk if
possible.dont have the TV on.
Set priorities: Since your schooling is important,resolve that you
won't turn on your TV.until your homework is done.
