It's good to have your plans before the beginning of the school year. And I'm sure every student's wish is to have good grades at the end of each semester.
So what are your plans? Or at least what do you expect from your teacher or your classmates? Have you written down your goals? I have one! It's on my personal blog at http://flutter-and-fly.blogspot.com 
To all my fellow students: Let's go for the gold Let's strive to do our best in studies and always back it up with faith and prayer.. [b][i]Remember: everything's possible to those who believe.

At the begining of each semester,I always have my own plan.Unfortunately,I can not stick to it through the whole semester and always give up at the middle of the semester. I have not the sense of perseverance which often annoys me.Can you tell me some methods to stick to the plan?Thank you.

Well maybe aside from plans, you should have your inspiration-- your deeper sense of studying. First you should ask yourself-- why do you study? what for? what will I gain through studying? If you answer these questions with depth then it will be easier for you to do things because you put your heart in it.
I, for instance study hard for my family, for my mom who works hard just to give me good education, for the belief that this will rise my family from poverty, for the teachers who put their faith in me, for my whole family who expects a lot on me, and of course for myself to have a sense of dignity..
I however always put in mind these two quotations: "A life lived for others is a life well-lived- Einstein" and Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration- Thomas Edison so simply put, to excel in studies one should have persistence and inspiration and a heart to what he does.

Hello cecille!!!
You seem to be the very decent student. Keep it up, I liked it...
As for me, well just from yesterday my new semester started. The only plan I set up at the beginning of the semester is get the Grade 4 upon 4 hehe...But, with time, I will get difficulties. And when the exam comes, I keep thinking, oh! I should have read this much better, then have to get satisfied with how much I get. But making target 4 upon 4 will help to work so that at least I cross 3.7.
And praying never work for me. My mum says pray the Goddess, pray and pray, so when I was going to give the exam, I saw the goddess of education temple, I prayed the goddesses of education from my heart, and went to give the examination. The exam was unexpectedly bad. Because the questions I got were just like token out from which I missed to read.
Good luck for the new semester and wish good luck to me too hehe...I deserve it lol...
Happy mylotting...

Hehe I don't really consider myself a decent student because sometimes I too get lazy.. I guess I'm just like an ordinary student who also has dreams in him.. Well if prayer didn't work for you, why not try faith? God bless you to friend and best wishes for the beginning of the semester

It's true that you should improve on yourself and stop comparing yourself to others.. It's important so that when you think others are doing better, you wouldn't mind because you know yourself and what you can do. So best wishes for you this coming semester and good luck

I got a 4.0 last semester and I'm hoping to get that again. Im transferring into a state college and I am planning to take some lower divisions. Hopefully I can past my English exam as well.
My key it to listen and stay focus. Find a passion for school and you will have no problem paying attention.

my goal for this semester is to make sure i do well in my research methods class for anthropology, which is an important part of my major. i want to maintain my 3.5 GPA. i want to get my work done early and not wait until the last minute. i want to be able to have fun and relax as well, because i think that school should not run my life. i would like to meet some new friends this semester, because i think i have relied on the same group of people in college and i would like to incorporate more personalities.

I agree and it's true that school should not run our lives, however we should also do our best in studying. Sometimes failing can be a means for us to do better but we shouldn't be messed up when this happen. In real life, people also fail. So good luck to your studies and of course still don't forget to have fun

It's good to know that you have a set of short term goals.. Most of the time it's the path to also reach the long term ones. Good luck to your interview and God bless I know you can do it

I know students keep telling themselves that they would be studying harder the next semester, but most of them never did. Still, that is my plan. Study more, focus more. Hopefully, I can really maintain this kind of feeling until I finish the semester at least.
