HOW TO GET AND MAINTAIN GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL

   Getting good grades at school is one thing, maintaining them is another. Everybody wants to have high grades in school so bad that getting an average is not an option, There are no shortcuts to getting good grades in school than to keep calm and study hard. Follow these small but helpful steps n obtaining good grades.
1. THE EARLIER THE BETTER: Most of us wait till examinations and test are around the corner before we start solving those difficult math questions and looking up our vocabulary. Even flipping the pages of our science test books. Within a short time you will notice that you do not remember everything you have "crammed" and we end up getting average grades.It is better to start reading or studying much earlier before tests or exams. You could either start on the holidays, first day of resumption or a week into resumption.
2. DO NOT CRAM: Cramming makes it worse to recall what you have or trying to commit into memory. If you have a problem understanding, then meet a teacher or a kid in your class, why not an adult? or try cracking an equation or problem on your own. Always remember that cramming never gets you anywhere.
3. STUDY AHEAD: Try studying ahead of the class, this way you would understand the subject a whole lot better. Get a revision exercise book or a jotter and after every study, give yourself a question and answer session.
4. Make study groups with friends in school (mostly your classmates) you could either study in school or at home. If you are going to read or study alone, try doing thirty minutes each for easier subjects and an hour for more complicated subjects. In a day, you should be able to read for a reasonable amount of time.
5. Seat in front of the class or where you can see the board clearly and obviously pay attention to the teacher. Also get rid of all distractions. Ask questions, no matter how silly they might sound, don't listen to the mockery of your friends because you would be gaining in the end.
6. Read for at least five hours daily and take short breaks intervals. Why not make it two or three hours for a start and do longer hours on Saturdays and Sundays. If you like, Sundays could be set aside for only revision and recapping and not reading.
7. Build up your vocabulary by reading novels, interesting write ups and spending time looking up words in the dictionary.
8. Make your test or exam answer sheet neat. Do not write roughly and underline neatly. Remember, in some cases, neatness attracts more marks.
9. Do not force yourself to understand what you can not on your own. Take a break when you need to. Try studying and drinking something cold.
         All these and more could be done to acquire good grades but also try to maintain them too. If you see an improvement in your grades, do not slack off because of euphoria. Continue to dot these till you are out of school and still continue if you love your books. When your result come in, try to check the subject that you did not really perform well in, work on it by studying much harder and then you are good to go.
   TIPS:
1. Having the best grades can make you prideful so watch out.
2. You could lecture others that do not understand a subject or topic.

The power of words

Today makes it exactly two fruitful years of blogging experience as we celebrate our second birthday at blog DMO. Today we will be speaking on the power of words. Words have the power to heal and to hurt, to encourage and to discourage, to make stronger and to make weaker. The tongue makes the flow of words possible. James 3:1-12 talks about taming the tongue. Note: when words are many, sin is not far. The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit. Therefore, words must be used with care. Destructive words flows out from the following tongues: * Deceitful tongue: To be deceitful is to deliberately cause someone to believe what is not true. * Flattering tongue: To flatter is to lavish compliments on someone especially in order to further ones own interest. * A prideful and a lying tongue, a tongue that intentionally utters false statements. As it is well known that: A truthful lip endures forever but a lying tongue lasts only for a moment.
