I went to college twice because I failed miserably the first time. I wallowed in self-pity for a few years, and went to a new college.

By that time I’d grown a bit, and did many of the things you recommend.

In addition, I never procrastinated on anything at school.

If the instructor gave me a project that was due in a week, I started it that night. Quite often I was the first one finished.

My high school teachers did an excellent job, and I followed their example later.

In some cases, my previous academic or Real Life experience enabled me to get “A’s or B’s” without even opening a text book.

If you’re in school, remember this is for your benefit, in the present and future. Take it seriously.

Be good to yourself.
