Be Positive
A positive attitude about learning is the best thing you can do for yourself! Everything you learn will help you grow. Positive mind, positive vibes, positive life!
Build Organizational Skills
Have a learning space to do your work everyday that is not also your relaxation space. Create labels, folders, and binders for classes. Create a to do list or use a planner to keep you on track. Set reminders on your phone!

Learn to Deal with Setbacks
Everyone has them! When you get a bad grade, have a disagreement with a friend, or any other frustration, realize that this is a time to learn and grow! To move forward, take responsibility and ask for help if needed to make better choices.
Everyone earns their grade; your grade will depend on the work you do to earn it. Go to class everyday! Be on time! Ask questions and communicate with your teachers.
Structure your day to be successful! Some examples are getting up at the same time everyday, getting dressed like you normally would for school, and going to sleep at a regular time. Consistency is your friend!
Healthy friendships and relationships also mean learning to respect and trust each other. People may disagree with each other. But with respect and trust, they can talk about how they feel and work things out.
