Answer 1

we cant do much for you. just focus on your goals and do the best you can

Answer 2

Have a different goal: to have the best education you can have so that you can do whatever it is that you figure out you want to do.

Figure out how you are going to be able to pass ALL of your courses. What are you doing now, what changes can you make? Are you really doing everything you can? Is there a type of tutoring or study group available at school? Are your teachers willing to give extra help, even if it's once every couple of weeks?

Also, consider your reading, writing/spelling levels, as well as your basic math skills. If you are lagging even the slightest bit in math and language arts, it can affect all of your other subjects. So, if these are a little low, then look into getting tutoring. Ideally, your reading level would be HIGHER than grade level, you would know your addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables so well that you can do 40 questions in a minute.

If that's not a problem, then really figure out what is stopping you from getting better marks. Are you understanding the material but not able to remember it? Are you not understanding the material enough? Are you thinking you know what the teacher wants but still bombing certain assignments?

A really helpful book is Adam Robinson's "What Smart Students Know". I naturally did a LOT of what he's recommending when I was in school and usually had A's.

Good luck! If you stay focused on improvement, you will achieve!

Answer 3

Sooner or later, each person reaches an understanding in what they want to do in life - in part it is based upon how they understand life.

"Life" is really nothing more than an adventure - a trip. What you knew when you started doesn't come close to how much you will know as you get closer to the end.

School really only does 3 things.

1st, it teaches you the basics - reading, writing, math.

2nd, it gives you an opportunity to try things. Sports. Biology. Higher math (algebra, geometry), chemistry - things that you could get a job in if you develop an interest in them.

3rd - it gives you an opportunity to develop social skills by meeting people. Bottom line, regardless of what you do in life, or how much you know, you still willhave to deal with people. Whether its a waitress when you order food, or a bank teller, or the person you pay to prepare you tax forms.

When I was your age, I sometimes got an occassional "A". But most of the grades were B's and C's. With an occassional D (and in chemistry and solid geometry a occassional F).

When I got in college, its like something "clicked" in my head after the 1st semester, and I started getting mostly A's and a few B's.

After leaving college. a lot of people now say how smart I am - its because after I left, I started reading more. Books on history, computer technology (what I worked in), real estate, etc.

Answer 4

First of all....
What are your interests? Okay, since you're posting this, I am automatically assuming that you really don't have any.
Is there a specific class you don't feel like sleeping through? What are your strengths? Weaknesses?
How about teaching? There are many positions from which to choose, and an Ivy League college is not really "required."
Do you like law? The Arts? Is there a sport you are particularly interested in?
How about archeology. Think about a whole realm of discoveries, waiting for you to find them!!
The sciences?
Medical studies?
Computers??
There must be something. Talk with your guidance counselor about this. Also, it really makes no difference what pigment your skin is.

Answer 5

First of all most people don't know what they want in life in the tenth grade. You should be thinking about whether you want to go to college or not. Don't worry if you don't know what you want when you go to college. Look for a college that has a lot of options. I waited until my 2nd year of College to decide what I wanted to be. If College isn't a option or not something you want to look into right away then think about what jobs you will go into. Think about jobs you enjoy and what jobs will give you an opportunity to grow and learn.

For right now know what strengths you have, know the classes you excel in and keep doing well in those. Spend more time on those classes you don't do well in. Those are the ones you need to work on.

Don't worry about feeling as though you don't know what you want to do with your life. You're young, live life!

Answer 6

Pass the classes you can pass, and don't worry about the ones you're failing. You can always retake them. High school grades aren't nearly as big a deal as society makes them out to be. Unless you're in the top 5% of students across the country HS grades don't count for much except maybe admissions standards in the better schools.

Do what you can with what you have, and don't give up. I had to drop out of school my junior year, but I came back and finished my senior and junior year in one school year and got a diploma. I'm now in college with a 3.0 and no one knows or cares I came through HS with a 1.4 GPA.

Answer 7

I a million/2 needed to be facetious there and say to get ten factors i truly dont like this 10 element dangled carrot as that's a sturdy question that makes me experience like answering it and makes me experience somewhat grimy to respond to some thing phrased this way. it additionally seems to demean the question. besides my important existence objective on the 2d is to discover the thank you to work together in dissent with out making it own or getting protecting extraordinarily no longer victimy or whiny. I even have been taken care of somewhat shabbily on a course that i'm on and that i'm making an respected criticism and that i desire to do it each and each of ways, neutrally with honour and not thinking concerning the winning or dropping yet virtually the technique of engagement. to try this I had some tattoo pens - young babies issues and grow to be thinking of writing on my hands and over my physique "Dont have self assurance your man or woman defence device - push however that's all approximately your ongoing sturdy relationship with your self save smiling all is easily internally it s in you r very own present to handle any soreness; doubt; anger; or worry springing up there's no coherent logical action from outdoors merely protecting obstacles do no longer blame everyone extraordinarily no longer your self.

Answer 8

i'm a sophmore too and one thing that really helps me is to stay organized, do u have a planner? cuz keeping all your school work in order is really helpful, everytime you get an assignment write it in ur planner and cross it off when ur done with it, also put test dates in ur planner so u know how much time u have to study. thats all i have to say! study hard!! and u'll do fine

Answer 9

Please talk to your counselor. You may need to get some more efficient study techniques. If you read a little slowly, then ask for some speed reading help. Good luck!

Answer 10

First of all you have to determine what your goals are. Then you have to research how to accomplish those goals.
