How I did it: The first time I went in to take my test, I was expecting it to be a breeze. I hadn't read the book, except maybe half of it, because the permit test was so simple (and I hadn't read the book for it, either) and I didn't think I would have to, since everybody I knew kept telling me it was really easy. So I took the driving test first and passed that with flying colors. Anyways, I went in to take the written and missed getting my license b… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I've always read a lot, so this wasn't too difficult for me. I just had to keep reminding myself to get out to the library and bring a couple books home, and then make sure that I didn't get too caught up in other things that I would forget to read them. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I kept a big glass of water with me all day long when I was at home, and I kinda made a game out of it, I guess. I would see how many glasses I could drink in each day, and I'd try to beat my "high score" and stuff. . . a little nerdy, but it got the job done :D Now that school is back in, I just have to remember to bring a water bottle with me :O Read how I did it…
