OUTSIDE of high school (what you do outside of school counts too!)
- Develop habits now that will help you succeed in high school, in education after high school, and in the world of work.
- Find a quiet place to study where you won't be interrupted. Is it just too noisy at home? Ask your family or a teacher to help you find a place to study.
- Plan a daily homework schedule and stick to it. Do more than is required.
- Ask your family or friends to read your written work. And ask them for help if you're having trouble at school.
- Use your local library. If you don't have a library card now, ask the librarian for one. They're free.
- Read newspapers and magazines. Talk with your family and friends about what you read.
- Look up words you don't know in the dictionary. Then use your new words in writing and while talking.
- Talk with your family about career plans and what you want to do in the future.
