I know I'm going to fail highschool?

Question

I'm an open minded person, I've always been quite bright yet when I entered highschool I got distracted and adapted a really bad aditude that's been pulling my results down. My report card for semester 1 was an average c and on my teachers advice card for subject selections in years 11 & 12, not one said I should be in a TEE's class next year.

Since I was 11 years old, I've always been sure that I'm going to do my TEE's Maths & English so I can go to university and get a degree in accounting like my older sister.

I'm not even sure that's what I want to do nor if I should do my TEE's, afraid I'm going to fail miserabely. Though I know, if I want to be happy in life I HAVE to pass highschool and complete my TEE's.

I have two weeks to make my subject choices, and as I've been told by everyone around me 'These subject choices are going to affect my entire life'

I feel alone and a failure to my family, I'm not stupid and always study as hard as I can, yet what if that's not enough?

Answer 1

Hey

I'm a highschool student and I'm in year 11. Not sounding up myself, but I got straight A's on my report card this semester. I want to help you do the same thing too!

I assure you that it is not as hard as everybody thinks. You just have to  be willing to make a few sacrafices in order to exeed everyones expectations of you.

I make sure I stick to a set routine everyday. From the minute I wake up I know what I am meant to be doing at nearly every minute of the day.

When I come home from school, I take around 15 minutes to get out of my uniform and have a drink and get ready to start homework/study/assignments. I do this from 4 until 5.30. Then I have a break for 30 minutes and do some exercise, whatever takes my fancy. But I make sure I have a break and get some fresh air and get moving. I then take a shower before heading back to do more work until dinner, usually at 7. Then i take some time to read or watch TV for a bit, before heading back to do more work, or if I'm really tired, catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

It's not that hard to achieve. If your not getting good enough grades, then your not working hard enough. Set yourself goals. 'I aim to finish this part of my assignment by the weekend.'

Hope I gave you some pointers. The key is to be organised and make sure you really want to do it for yourself, not other people.

Coming from a similar situation, all I can say to help your dilemma is that you are the only person that can decide what is good and bad in your life.

You can try, and work your *** off, but in the end it's up to you to decide if you're satisfied with the results, no matter how "bad" they may seem.

Do what you must to keep your grades up, I can't change your attitude. ^.^

You fail when you give up.  

Go to class, act like youre interested, read, do the homework, write the papers, do the projects, and take the exams and you'll be okay.  

The main thing is never quit.  Falling on your face is okay, but just remember that you are going to bounce right back up on your feet and continue.
