Take the school as a place to exercise your potential. Failure in one area means only that some other students are better suited than you for that capacity. Try other activities until you find your own turf, then be the best.\nNever hate a subject or anything about school.\nPositive thinking and creative thinking are two of the best tools in school, especially when coupled with a tutored tongue and able hands.\nYour feet will bring you to places outside areas of failure.\nConsider the school as a stage in your life. What comes after that will depend on what you make of it now.\nGood luck.

Here are some tips from my upcoming book called Get Smart!\n\n1) Nothing replaces effort. Most smart kids work hard in school and at home. \n\n2) Communicate with your teacher. Ask him or her what you need to do to get an "A" and tell them that's your goal. Make them give you detailed feedback on your work so that you can make improvements. Participate in class. Sit in the front of class if your teacher lets you. \n\n3) Organize! You probably have an agenda with your assignments. Keep it neat, up to date, and use it every day. Many kids lose points because they lose work or fail to turn it in on time. \n\n4) When you study for tests, first figure out what you know, then concentrate your study time on what you don't know. You want to use your time efficiently.\n\n5) Get help. If you seem to be spinning your wheels or hopelessly lost, ask your teacher, your parents, or another student for help. Your teacher is probably your best source, but oftentimes other smart students and your parents can help you too.\n\nGood luck!\n\nRon Dietel

Pick out a goal. Something that you really want to do or be when you get out of school. And when you decide. Just think that every problem you do on your homework is the next step to success.

To think of expectations, write a list of attributes you'd like your child to have once he graduates, and how a school can support these things.  Thumb through the dictionary and look up words that describe how you feel-you can also use s thesarus if you'd like to add in a few 'sparkly' words (not too many!).  Have your child come up with a list of what he wants out of school and maybe select the top three to embellish upon.  I couldn't find it now, but there are lists of 'action words' that are suggested for resumes- you can probably use the same list to describe your desires for your child's education.\n\nTo get you started, as a parent, you'd probably like a:\n\nSafe, caring school environment that encourages academic and personal growth.  You might also like a community where parent participation is encouraged and supported by faculty and staff.

SSAT is not just about being academically sound, but well-rounded with other aspects. Study all the normal subjects, and in your free time read the newspaper and magazines and books. That should help.

I am a school kid, and i DO like school. The studying itself is not the most interesting thing ever, but the friends there and the great times spent with friends are worth going into school...

Think of what you are good at doing, what your strong points are. EVERYONE has strong points.  Make a list.  Post it where you can see it everyday.  That way, every day you are giving yourself a little pat for having pretty eyes, helping around the house, whatever.\n\nDo not allow yourself to think anything negative about you.  If you pull a bad grade on a test, it is one test.  You'll do better on the next one.  You are not a failure.  \n\nIf there is someone in your life who is making snide or belittling comments and that person is not a relative, that person does not need to be in your life right now.\n\nBuild more positive relationships.  If there is a subject you excel in, ask your teacher if she needs a student tutor.  Join clubs, school activities and/or do volunteer work.  It doesn't matter if you are too shy to do anything other than attend in the beginning.  Just be a part of it, and you will find yourself gaining confidence by watching the others.\n\nBe sure to congratulate yourself every time you reach out to help another person, or volunteer for a project.  It takes confidence and maturity to go beyond safety.\n\nAfter awhile, you will find you have made a habit of doing more, and that you have built confidence in yourself.\n\nGood luck!

Some good things to have in it:\n•A short memoir of all the happy times you had in that school\n•Teachers or friends that you really learned from\n•Something you will miss from that school\n•Thank all your teachers for helping you and supporting you throughout your middle-school career.\n\nExample:\n"When I came into ____________________ (school name) I was still quite childish and acted much like an elementary student. Now I feel that it is due to my wonderful experiences here that I have grown and matured into the person you see before you today. It wasn't always easy, and sometimes I wish I could just run back to elementary school, but I made it through and couldn't wish for anything better...."\n\nSorry, it's not that good. Came up with it off the top of my head.\n\nFeel free to email me for help: n00b_school_bus@yahoo.com

Yes you will get a good school.\nGPA is an important part of the admission selection process.However  there are some other factors which are of equal significance:\n1.Standardized Test Scores\n2.GRE subject schools scores. As some high ranked schools require this.\n3.Recommendations\n4.Essay\n5.Your extra curricular activities\n6.Your Resume\n\nLet me tell you that good is a very relative term. The school that is good for you need not be good for some other student.\nSelection of the right program should be one of the most important part of this process.\nWhile selecting the program take into account the following factors not necessarily  in the order presented :\n1.Your interest - whether you want to go for research or theory programs.\n2.Ranking and the reputation of the program. \n3.Whether your credentials are compatible to the university requirements.\n4.Costs of the program.Has the university reputation for offering financial help.\n5. Have you found a professor who is willing to be your research mentor.\n6. Location of the University.\nGood Luck\nNBS

Do something that you like, or you will be misrable.  Do NOT do what your parents think you would like or be good at.  They screwed me even years after high school w/ that one!

Think back to things you have done in your life. Some things maybe closely related to the school/subject, and some things not. Try to think of lessons, accomplishments, failures, friends, places, ...\n\nThen, try to think of some common thread for an introduction and closing.\n\nThen, write. Be yourself. If it fits in with what the school is looking for, it will help. If it doesn't fit, it won't help.
