ABC'S OF GETTING HIGH GRADES

Getting ahead in school is not just

excelling mentally but socially, physically
and spiritually as well. Achieving high
grades will be as easy as memorizing your
ABC when you live a balanced life.
A - attend class everyday.
B-egin your day with God. Pray and
read the Bible for your spiritual and
intellectual growth.
C-ome to classes early. This will give
you time to review your notes or do
advance reading.
D-ivide long-term
assignments/projects into small tasks
that you can work on daily basis.
E-ngage in profitable or intellectually
enhancing hobbies. Join sports
activities, enjoy the beauty of God's
creation, keep a diary, do one random
act of kindness each day.
F-ocus on what you are doing at the
moment for maximum efficiency.
G-o out and make friends. Make
amends with your enemies. Doing so
does not only add colors to your life,
they also complete the circle of life.
H-elp a classmate who is lagging
behind. You'll master your lessons in
the process.
I-nvite the Lord to be your Guide,
Partner, and Friend and you'll always
be on the right track.
J-ot down notes. They come in handy
during reviews.
K-eep track of time. Wasted time
equals lost opportunities.
L-augh often, love life, and live one day
at a time.
M-ake a daily schedule. List the things
that you need to do for the day to avoid
forgetting them.
N-ever ever skip breakfast. Doing so is
one of the biggest brain-damaging
habits.
O-ffer your heart, soul, and mind to
your Creator and King.
P-articipate in discussions. You'll learn
more if you interact more.
Q-uit minding other people's business.
You have no idea what they are really
going through.
R-esearch. Don't just settle with the
things that you learn inside the
classroom.
S-tay fit. Eat a balanced diet and
exercise regularly. A healthy body is a
must to a healthy mind.
T-ake time alone to reflect and count
your blessings.
U-se your talent, knowledge, and skills
for the glory of God.
V-ent your feelings and opinions only
after spending careful thought about
them.
W-ait, if you can, until you graduate in
college before having a sweetheart.
X-erox or photocopy materials that you
missed and study them.
Y-earn to learn something new each
day.
Z-oom in on worthwhile opportunities that
come your way. A missed opportunity is
lost forever.
