How can I stay focused this year in school?

Question

I am going into the 11th grade in September. I am a good student, I get good grades and I am on the honor roll. But last year I got a little distracted and I didn't do as good as I could have. I plan on going to university so I need even better grades this year. How can I keep myself focused in school? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. :)

Great question.  You ARE smart to ask.

2. Make a big note to yourself that says "Stay Focused!", attach it to your mirror, read it every time you face your mirror.

Answer 2

Figure out what situations led to you losing focus and avoid those situations.
