what is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciating yourself will strength your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play and important role.

be wise dont use drugs or alcohol

 Drugs are dangerous to the people who use them, but people who use drugs don't only hurt themselves. The people around those who do drugs can be hurt in many different ways too. Saying "NO" to drugs is smart and helps to keep yourself and others safe.

There are all types of drugs and alcohol, but the main thing they have in common is that those who use them often get hooked on them and then it is very hard to stop, even when you really want to. That is what we call addiction, you may have heard of someone being addicted to something. You may have also heard of other familiar terms such as substance abuse, drug or alcohol abuse and drug addiction
 People often begin to use drugs or drink a lot of alcohol to avoid the things that bother them most. Some examples of the things people may want to avoid are: pressure from friends, stress in the family, hassles, the feeling that adults are on their case, or the lousy feeling of being different from everyone else in the world. People start to use drugs and alcohol to make themselves feel better. The problem with that is, drinking or using drugs only ends up making things worse. Alcohol and other drugs may make a person feel good for a short time when high, but when the high wears off, the person feels lousy and may even feel depressed. Once a person is addicted, all they begin to care about is getting high, and once the high wears off, they need to take more just to feel normal again. That is the problem with addiction, it means it becomes very hard to stop drinking or doing drugs. An addicted person feels like they need drugs or alcohol and may feel sick if they do not have any. Drugs or alcohol become all that the addicted person wants. It becomes their main priority, even more than family, friends, everything

Whether studying o in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

Student Success Statement

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad I feel bad.”—Abraham Lincoln

This statement is true because when doing something that helps others or makes others happy, that feeling of happiness will be passed to you. The same goes for when you do bad. The core of doing good is because it is right. When you do good it inspires others to be the same. Doing good will cause a chain reaction and will make the world better. When bad is done it too causes that reaction but will cause people to be sour and mean. Thus in  return you are affected and feel that greatness or that sorrow.
