…. My teachers became the new figures of authority in my life. I trusted their every direction. Each book they told me to read, I read and then waited for them to tell me which books I enjoyed. Their most casual opinions I adopted. It was their encouragement that mattered to me. Memory caressed each word of their praise so that the compliments teachers paid me in grammar school classes come quickly to mind every day.
…. Always did I know my parents wanted for my brothers and me chances they never had. Mother would always say: “Get all the education you can. With education you can do anything.” …..Whereas my mother saw in education the opportunity for job advancement, for my father education implied an even more startling possibility: escape from a rather busy world. He despised the unimportance of higher education, the inflated grades and cheapened diplomas, the half-education that increasingly passed for mass education in my generation. …..When time came to go to college my mother demanded to know, “Why aren’t the colleges around here good enough for you? Why do you need to go so far away? Why do you have to put us through this big expense? You know your scholarship will never cover it.” But when September came she said nothing more about my leaving, except “I love you, son! Take care!” Answer the following questions:

I was an expert in doing well in school.
I was in the top ten academically in high school, and I got As all through my higher education years. I worked full-time during graduate school and while writing my books. I teach a course for graduate students to help them develop skills that will contribute to their careers greatly. I am smart enough, work hard, and have developed habits that achieve the best results for me. I want to share some tips to help you get better grades in less time and with less stress and effort. 1. BEYOND GOOGLE It is possible to do good research on Google, but you would already have to be an excellent researcher. All too often, people only use the results that show up on the first page, which are not always the best. Instead, use the information you are 100% sure about! Make your experience the best companion! 2. DEVELOP A STUDY ROUTINE As you mature as a scholar, you will discover what study and research options work best for you. For example, I like to write notes by hand and read them to myself to remember the information better. Through trial and error, I’ve found this method works the best for me. Set the stage for your best work. What do you like to drink as you study? Do you play music or is it quiet? Where do you like to study? What can you do to maintain your concentration? Do you study best in a group or individually? What time of day works for you? 3. LEARN EDITING TRICKS When you are nearing completion of your assignment, print it out. Make your edits on paper, and read it out loud. Editing on screen can catch major errors, but editing on paper reveals minor mistakes. Reading your assignment out loud allows your ears to find errors that your eyes can’t see. You detect awkward phrasing, misused words, and other quirks. I use text-to-speech readers online discover more issues to correct. 4. B U I L D friendly and cooperative relationships with industrious students and those who can help you grow. It will turn out that you may have much in common. 5. S T O P W O R R Y I N G There is no point in thinking too much about failures and mistakes. The one who never tries anything will ALWAYS be PERFECT! But, you know very well - Perfection does not exist!!!! And, instead of spending hours analyzing things like “Why did it happen to me? or “Am I the only one who is mostly confused and frustrated?” Replace those with “I can definitely do it!” and “Everything depends on me!” Dear students!
