“Every time I’ve done something that does not feel right, it ends up not being right.”

                                                      5 tips for success 
Reading and writing go hand and hand. The better you understand a test, the more likely you are to  successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.
                                                Tips 1-2
tip 1: annotate
be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.
Tip 2: note the author’s writing style
every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading look for patterns in the author’s writing for example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 3-5

3. Set attainable goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any projects in small chunks.

4. Find a social support network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5.  Acknowledge your accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an e-mail, or get a snack. Then move on to a new project.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2
To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the track.
1.   Focus on High-Impact Activities
The key to success in schools is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from. To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priorities over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.
2.   Create New Challenges
Changing you approach can help you stay interested in what you’re going. If you've been given an assignment similar to one you've done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.
