Question

Hello, I'm 16 years old. turning 17 on March :D
Well on August the 20th,I started my junior year.I have two honor classes American History & English 3.Now,I would like to have a safe non-stressful year.Here's what I will like to accomplish and stay focus on:

Maintaining Good grades
Focusing on out of high-school plans(What to pursue,which college or university? Scholarships,grants etc..)
Enrich Vocabulary/Grammar
Gain improvement in general knowledge/wisdom towards things.(Learn how to pay bills,etc)
Gain improvement in mathematics (math phobia/LD)
And hopefully finish my retake geometry night-school course.
And Community Service.

Other than that is there anything else I should focus on?On my senior year,I will hopefully learn to drive.How can I break down all these things in pieces so i won't get stressed and give up on school.I just want to succeed =/

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

As a recent graduate of UCLA, I would suggest that THE most important thing for you to learn is "how you learn". Some people are crammer's, some can just read and remember everything. Others, and indeed the majority of people, need to read, take notes, read again, practice, practice practice. Refining your study habits and establishing a disciplined system for studying will cut down on your stress. You can get good grades in HS and even in college with bad study habits, but more important than grades is developing confidence in yourself, and that will only come through focus and discipline. Good luck to you.
