The biggest challenge is proper use of your time.  You can be very successful spending your time doing the right things, but most of us are not successful because we don't know which things to focus on and in what order.\n\nThe second biggest challenge is keeping the tax men out of your pockets long enough to get up and running.

i'm a student too, have focus on your studeis, less your leisure time,and night out.. Its natural to give extra time and effort to harder subjects until you are use to it...its an effort to succeeed, you know.....then if you hurdle that struggle, its very satifying, very fulfilling that you did succeed. study in advance ,. Ask the help of your professor if you can understand or any person understand the subject you are studying.. Where to get that extra time... Subject s you think is easier for you less your time there... Extra books borrow from friends of your senior or take out a library book in school..... I hope I have given you helpful ideas.. Good luck !

When I was in high school, I was a straight A student.  I also got suspended 4 times. Why didn't they expel me? Because I knew how to STUDY SMART.  I was a sh*t of a kid - yet I knew how to work the system.  The key is to:    a) Understand and realise what you are    required to know.    b) Understand your deadlines.     c) MAKE A TIME MANAGEMENT PLAN.    d) Work efficiently - that is, work hard only on the items that are really important - assignments, exams etc.    e)   Stay motivated - constantly remind yourself why you are getting an education.        f) STICK AT IT - you can still have a social life and have fun, but remember your responsibilities and ADHERE TO YOUR TIME MANAGEMENT PLAN.        Anyone can do it - it's just a matter of organisation and targeted action.   Go for it!

In the words of my favorite poster\n\nSit Down\nShut Up\nPay Attention\nDo Your Work\n\nOther than that, school will always need effort.  If you want to pass exams effortlessly, you need to pay attention to the clues your teacher is sending you about what's going to be on the test.  Trust me, as a teacher, I always leave clues to what's on the exam.

You have to get motivated and make time to do all of your homework (it helps, it really does), and you have to take the time to study.  Really, there's no other way to do it, and school is so important.  It's the ticket to your future.  You just have to put some effort into it because when you're an adult, it won't matter what you wore when you were in middle school or how popular you were or what video games you played or what movies you watched...\n\nWhen you honestly are trying your hardest and still don't understand, that's when a tutor is appropriate.  However, you can't expect to get a tutor to magically make you understand everything if you aren't willing to put in the effort yourself.

It's not about helping them succeed in school, it's about helping them succeed in life.  We need to work on the self-confidence issues that will have (as you mentioned) and also help them with the fears and possible nightmares they will suffer from.  We need to help them overcome this awful thing that has happened in their life so that they are no longer a sexually abused child but instead, a person who had the misfortune of being sexually abused.  We cannot let it define who they are and what they do.

Use a computer that has MWord or some other word processing program.  If it has internet access, that will help for accessing information.\n\nTurn off the radio and TV and concentrate on what you are doing.\n\nIf you are in school there will be a deadline.  That means you must click off something daily even when you are not feeling well.\n\nNothing happens until you start taking steps.\n\nDo not expect perfection, get to work and do what you can.  Polishing is something you cannot do until you have built whatever you want to polish.\n\nAt that point, you strive for perfection.\n\nMost students are satisfied with 85--95% of perfect.\n\nA's go to 90% or above.  Some teachers are tighter, it must be 95%.\n\nI give A+ when it is 96--100% perfect.\n\nLetting someone else do your work is a big mistake in your life, not just school.\n\nIt can be done.  You can do it.  \n\nI follow my own rules and as you see I am not afraid and I can do anything which I decide to do.

Set goals... balance your time between study and social things.\n\nAlways have something to work towards.. an incentive to study. i.e after final exams im going to go on a holiday. that will motivate you to do well at school.

Put aside a certain amount of time each night to work on your classes. Try to become organized. Make a folder on your computer labeled School and keep all of your work in that one folder. \n\nDon't let yourself fall behind...it's horrible trying to catch up. Don't wait until the very last minute to do anything or you will get stressed out. That's probably the most important thing.  \n\nTry to keep it spread out so you only have to do a little at a time...it won't seem so daunting that way!

Hey!!! You can DEFINITELY succeed if you put your mind to it. The status of your parents' education does not give you an "inherent" negative tendency. Set your goals and meet them. :) You can raise your GPA for sure. Talk to your professors when you need help, take some classes that will be easy for you and a few that will challenge you, and most of all, be confident. :) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!

It all depends on what subjects you're good at or not good at, which varies from student to student. For me, anything that had to do with science or math was the hardest.

First of all, way to go.  I'm a single parent of two and in school and I know how hard it is.  I find that time management is the most important as well as reading the material every chance you get.  I have a straight A average because I use the school's writing lab for all of my papers as well as having my friends read them and give me critical feedback.  This helps me get better grades and I make sure to always keep my eye on the goal.
