Most students get stressed out about school because they feel
completely out of control. They feel that
everyone else is controlling them –
from the clerks in the administration office to
the people in the campus
bookstore to the teachers. They feel that
these people hold all the power. Do
you feel that “the system” is in control of
whether or not you will reach your
dreams?
Well, I’m here to tell you that the “system” ISN’T in control of your
future,
YOU are! You made the decision to stay in high
school, right? Lots of people
drop out. It’s the worst decision anyone can
make, but people do it anyway.
And, once you’re out of high school, you are
the one who makes the decision
of whether or not you’ll go to college. You
get to select a major, which means
that you are getting to pick the majority of
the courses you’ll be taking. And,
get this… YOU are in control of what grades
you earn! That’s right. YOU get
to pick your grades.
Most teachers are really very fair with their grading. They give you a
list
of things to be accomplished in their classes…
and you have the power to
decide what you are going to do with that
list. If you decide to put forth “A”
effort, then you will usually be rewarded with
a good grade. OK, it might not
be an “A,” but remember that “B’s” are good
grades too! Never beat yourself
up if that “A” doesn’t come. Life is too short
to worry about a letter. Keep the
big picture in focus. Your job is to just do
your best and get through!
