Study Skills

Many students lack proper study skills. What happens later will usually be a vicious cycle - they don't do well for their tests, they feel lousy about themselves, they give up without trying because they want to convince themselves that they are smart but chose to give up, and then starts to mix with bad company and next thing he/she knows - starts spiraling downwards.

Now what students must understand is that they study so that they will be able to have a lot more choices next time in their career paths. They will not be stuck and be forced to take up jobs that they dislike and live life with lttle passion for. Their careers will also determine their self-esteem and ego as well as future.


Surely one wants to look back after 10 years and be able to mix with their old friends with their heads held high? Now is not too late. Here are some websites that should be proved useful:
