Must Know Tips Before You Start School

all right listen up please listen up before the first day of school there are three things that I want you to follow there are three things that I want you to do there are three things that I want you to understand if you want to be successful for this year these three things are not in any special order but I'm telling you from being a teacher for 14 years inside the classroom from seeing students from the beginning of the year to the end of the year I can tell you with which students that were prepared on the first at school how successful they were at the end of the year so what do you have to do what do you have to be what do you have to understand the first one it's very obvious and please do not glaze over this because I know once I say it immediately you're going to be like all right what's the next one let me skip to that but hear me out here the first one is to set a goal now do not just write the letter A on a piece of paper and then move three minutes ahead on this video no you need to set a goal and you need to understand why is that goal important to you you need to understand this this is more important to the goal you need to understand the motivation behind why it is you want to achieve what it is you want to achieve and then once you have solidified you've understand exactly what you want to achieve and what you want to do you need to map out how exactly you're going to do it below that goal write down your steps what are the things that you need to do to achieve that goal what are those daily weekly monthly habits that you have to do you need to write them down you also need to write down is what is going to stand in your way out of my way you know yourself by now if you're watching this video I'm assuming you're not eight years old you have seen yourself have be successful you have seen yourself be failures why did you fail at certain things why were you not as successful as you wanted to be in certain elements identify what it is about yourself what external factors have limited you before identify them and make sure you understand what you can do to adjust if they show up again for this goal we need to make sure we have everything out in front of us and also this goal is something that we need to be looking at if not daily weekly we know exactly what it is we need to be doing what we need to be avoiding and how we're going to do it now the next one is a little bit more detailed and this is where I struggled as a student I never had a planner I just my brain could never go down this way but I can tell you from being somebody that now technology has allowed me to basically have a digital planner it's been so helpful for me to be able to have this guidance or to have this kind of Direction in my life because physically writing things down in a planner just didn't work for me but if it works for you then do it if you need to do digital then do digital but here's the thing once you have your goals and you've written all that stuff down you understand it you know the importance and why you're doing things you have to start making decisions when you start the school year you probably know what clubs or what activities you're going to be doing you probably know a little bit about your schedule and we know ladies and gentlemen life is going to change there are things that are going to impact all of this so you are going to have to adjust it is just the reality of life however make decisions when are you going to wake up when are you going to study when are you going to do your homework where are you going to be doing your homework for how long are you going to do 30 minutes on every Tuesday are you going to do 30 minutes after school are you going to set up with a private tutor make decisions and get them in in place because when you write things down on a calendar or when you have them in a calendar and you get a little notification saying hey you have a study appointment for an hour coming up now you stop everything you're doing and you follow through with that but when you don't write things down or you don't put them in a calendar you don't make decisions guess what you start doing things that are easiest for you to do hang out with friends not do your homework go to a movie sit on the couch play on your phone talk to your friend go out with your friends it's too easy when you don't have a regimented schedule to Veer off the path and guess what when you start veering off the path you start to lose sight of your goals and then the whole year goes by and then you look back and you open up that book and you're like oh my God what did I write at the beginning of the year oh that was cute how many times have I done that in my life way too many times that's why I'm making this video for you don't be an earlier version of myself because I will tell you my most successful and enjoyable years had been when I had a goal that I was striving for when I was dedicated and consistent with my work ethic to achieve that goal and that is when I got the most satisfaction out of my life you can do this exact same thing to apply it to this school year and the last thing it's called priming the pump ladies and gentlemen at the end of last year at every single year I say go and have fun you're a kid or you're young at least younger than myself have fun some of my best memories I had over the summer was with my friends was doing things that I wouldn't normally do because it was a school night have fun in enjoy your childhood I still worked a job like I still worked hard and everything else but I had fun with my friends and I want each and every one of you to enjoy this time in your life when you have a break in between schooling and I realize not everybody has breaks between schooling but I'm talking to a general populace here but ladies and gentlemen it does not discount the fact that you need to prime the pump your brain is what's going to be working when you get back in school you can't give it that long of a break without doing anything when school starts getting closer just do a little bit of work now obviously I'd like as a teacher and a parent for you to do a little bit more work like three or four weeks ahead of school but in reality I know everybody's different but even if you're the laziest kid and don't care about school but you know you're going into a course especially like math where you are not excited then do yourself a favor and prime the pump start doing some work to get yourself mentally ready and prepared for the school year if you don't have a summer packet to be able to complete then go back to last year's notes start going back over the stuff that you learned last year go over your test go over your quizzes start doing some of the problems I am telling you ladies and gentlemen we all know the beginning of the year is a lot of times a review from the previous year right you don't want to be that student that is still trying to remember everything you want to be that student be like oh yeah I kind of just remember reviewing this a couple weeks ago like I'm good here I remember this stuff because the more times you see something the better it's going to sync in and guess what if you review it two weeks ago and then you go and review it again with your teacher you're going to have that solid foundation and guess what's going to happen when you start learning the new stuff you're going to have that solid foundation to now lean on do some math work before the school year but I'm telling you ladies and gentlemen if you have that goal you have that Vision you have it designed and mapped out and you put in the work you are going to have a successful year and there's nothing more than I want is for you to come to this video and let me know how your year went down below in the comments I'll wait cheers
