It's that time again - you're back from summer vacation and it's time to start a new school year! Here a few quick tips to make this year an amazing one!
Always eat a good breakfast before school.
Grabbing a breakfast bar on the go doesn't count. Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast every day helps you focus better and increases your chances of making a better grade.
Make sure you have everything you need before you leave the house.
To make sure you don't forget anything, talk to your parents about getting a dry-erase board that you can hang right beside the door. Write down everything you need to take to school the night before (projects, homework assignments, field trip permission slips etc.), be sure to pack everything in your backpack and cross it off before you leave.
(You can also look into getting a dry erase board to hang in your room. (or wherever it is that you study) That way, you have a better chance of not forgetting to complete an assignment.)
Pay attention while in class and take notes.
Always have a pen and/or pencil ready to take notes of what the teacher is saying. Be sure to write down all your assignments as they're given to you and to listen to the lesson so you'll have a better understanding of what you're supposed to learn.
Be a friendly face.
Every year there's always the "new kid". Get to know him or her. Ask them where they're from and what they think of their new school. You never know, they could become a great friend! Even the kids you normally don't hang out with, maybe the shy girl in math class or the the guy in band who eats alone - reach out to them. Remember, the only way to have a good friend, is to be a good friend.
You're in charge of your school experience. Make it a good one!
Remember:
Life's what you make it so, let's make it rock! :)
Have a great year everybody!
