Do you wish to be a better student than you were before?
Do you wish to make good and better grades?
Success is a thing of the mind.
Success can be a relative concept other than an absolute one.
"If someone plans to fail and unfortunately succeeds, can we still call it a success or failure?
Level and choices of success varies from individual to individual, person to person and even student to student.
Now looking from an academic perception, what students call success differs.
Some student might aim wholeheartedly for a second class while some first class and I guess this is why success could be relative.
MAKING GOOD GRADES
Despite what one may tag success to be, I believe every student aspires to pass their exams make good grades etc.
Achieving this goal is possible, its a matter of determination.
Some students may say
i'm not intelligent '
'I don't know maths '
'I hate anything calculation'
'I don't understand this course right from time'
All these statements are made out of sentiments, some students just try to attract pity on themselves.
There is power in spoken words you know,
I urge students who make such statements to withdraw from it.
God has created you in his image and likeness, you are intelligent, you can understand maths!!!!
Although we know all fingers are not equal, perhaps we believe that not everybody is born brilliant but do you believe you were born a dummy??.
Let's be more pragmatic now, most of the students who tag themselves as 'not-intelligent' can do what most intelligent students can't.
For instance, Some of these so called non-intelligent student can memorize or rather recite about 15 different football teams with their players yet they believe they can't learn mathematics.
Some can even write down the lyrics of 10 songs each of 20 different musicians. What a wonderful brain.
I know most of us can even do more than this , you are intelligent.
Your brain is very much fine you just have to adapt to the way your brain works.
Some students prefer reading alone, some prefer reading with friends, some even read with music on. it depends on how your brain works.
I bet you you've not used up to 5% of your brain , your brain still have free spaces. don't leave them a tabular rasa.
There are several ways to be a better student and also make good result but let's be a bit more realistic.
Next point is to attend class and making a person reading time table.
I know most of us have been hearing about this for a very long time, perhaps we've been succeeding without them. But do you know that the Human brain can be tricky sometimes, when you don't attend a lecture, your brain might become obstinate in understanding that course and it will keep looking strange to you and after everything we then end up saying 'I don't understand this course because I wasn't in class' .
Being a successful student is all about changing your mindset and personality academically.
it doesn't stop you from enjoying school.
Have you ever been so acquainted with a course or topic that you enjoy reading it?.
You have to make your books your own friend.
Your academics is your primary reason for going to school.
What keeps me going is when I remember my parents who are labouring to keep me up and running in school. I guess the only way to pay them back is to study genuinely, focus on my studies and keep persevering.
You've gat to starve your distractions and feed your focus.
Also, we have to pay attention to our exams. it is practically not the true test of knowledge. But we cant just go home with a bad result and start explaining to our parents that exam is not the true test of knowledge.
Although exam cannot fully prove your intelligence but to an extent it can distinguish a student from another student.
We must be prepared before writing our exams, physically, mentally, spiritually and otherwise.
We shouldnt start reading a week before exam,
Our preparations should start from the first day till the last day.
You can't expect your head to carry a course that has been thought over 2 months within one week. we'll just end up straining and stressing our brain and finally frustrating yourself.
This article is getting very lengthy and I believe you find it difficult reading long stuffs.
Don't worry, we are summarizing.
finally, we need God to survive in school. we need the holy spirit to guide and teach us. we cant never make it on our own.
when you make Jesus your no1 in life you will never be the last in life.
Still on the summary, exams can only determine your grades but don't let them decide your fate.
School is not everything, most of the successful people didn't achieve their success through school. it was their personal ability. just try and develop yourself. Nigerian system of education is poor for sure but don't let it make you give up on your dreams .
Thanks for reading
