One final effort...
6 months ago
Well recently I’ve been trying a lot harder at school but now’s the time when it really matters-and I really need to make one final effort before the exams!!
How to do better at school
It made me
Proud of myself! 
How I did it: This is quite a difficult goal to measure seeing as I'm yet to receive any exam results-but I do know that I've gone from being not a particulary good student to being considered extremely hardworking by my teachers!
The difference between then and now is that I was always afraid to ask my teachers for help (because I was too shy) and I'd end up struggling! But now (partly because I go to a different school where the teachers are much easier to get on with and partly because I've gradually become less shy) I'm able to ask for help when I need it, I've also become a lot more organised,and I've become a lot less lazy (I suppose because I've realised how important these exam results are for getting me into uni!)
Hopefully it will all pay off!
Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid to ask for help and always make sure you've fully understood everything your teacher has said each lesson.
Get organised! And if you do lose your notes ask someone else if you can copy theirs or ask your teacher if they have any handouts or anything.
Remember why you want to "do better at school" and work accordingly (if this goals really important to you should be able to find motivation-in my case it was wanting to get into university)

Basically I messed up during my freshmen year of college and had to retake 3 classes…so I’m paying for it now. After my freshmen year, my gpa was a 1.6, now it’s a 2.3 so I have made some improvement. Now I’m pretty much a semester behind and I really want to transfer because I don’t like where I’m at and I need to raise my gpa to a 2.5..I mailed in my application and now I’m basically waiting on a rejection letter. I want to take summer classes so I can get as close to Junior status as possible, but who knows. Procrastination really doesn’t help grades, I have an exam tomorrow and a chem lab due and a paper due wednesday and another exam later this week.
