HOW TO DEVELOP A GOOD READING PLAN

 Before I begin this article, I want you to know this:
_________________________________________
Planned Readers are truly Life Planners.

   I have seen a lot of students out there, making it real big, especially academically, and what does that mean? It means you also can.

  Whenever I ask students how they make it, their answers have always revolved around one thing, and that is their good reading plan.

What is a reading plan? 

 A reading plan is a plan devised for reading, that is, when you choose to read, how you choose to read and what you read against. 
  You see, those guys that top the class aren’t just doing that by chance, a good reading plan is their secret.

So how can I develop a good reading plan? 

  Well first, you see the word “develop” goes a long way, it means it’s not a one-time achievement. Diligence is all you need. In this article, I’ll be giving you two different plans, but because we vary in nature, the plans might not directly work for you but you can manipulate it to suit your taste.

• Plan A; the early morning sacrifice. 


  Listen to what Henry said:

   I wake every weekday by 4:00am, do some exercise to get sleep off my eyes then start reading  the day’s subject till 7:30am. So, while my mates are hastily flipping through their notes for an impromptu test, I’ll just smile to myself.

   Are you an heavy sleeper who waits until 8:00am to get off bed? Well that has got to end.
  You’ve got your phones, don’t just chat and surf the internet, set alarms. And when you’re awake what do you do? Sleep again? Definitely not, you’ll do what they do, you start reading, get yourself ready for any test. Let this be your regular doing. It helps a lot.

  In this morning sacrifice reading plan, you’re less likely to be disturbed or distracted. So, maximize it by critically reading. This is what the so-called Brilliant ones do. You can’t keep doing this and still remain academically poor.


• Plan B; the daytime sacrifice. 

   You can also plan to read in daytime. Unlike the early morning plan where sleep might be the only challenge, the daytime sacrifice has even more especially disturbance from friends, but still, it’s the best time to read (for me). 
   After class hours, seat back and sturdy. Go to the school library or a quiet place, think about those words that motivate you, let them be your charge. Read all you can.

Even though it’s boring and seems you’re not getting it, just keep reading, it’s a sign that you’re on the right path, good things are usually boring to do.

  Those brilliant ones don’t spend their daytime by going to parties, watching television all day or playing video games, even if they do, plan A is their secret. This is what most average students don’t know.

A good reading plan is what you need to plan away not just from academic failure but also from unforeseen failure.

DEALING WITH FEAR IN SCHOOL

  Before I begin this article, I’ll want you to know this: _________________________________________ Fear has a large shadow but he himself is small.   Ruth Gendlen. _________________________________________    Fear, this four lettered words have killed the potentials of many students that allowed it. And just as Ruth Gendlen has said, though may look like a mountain but when you actually face it, you’d see that it’s only a piece of stone. A sad story from a teenage girl:   It was my second year in college when our rector wrote an equation on the board. “who is very sure of solving this?” he said with a stern voice. “oh, I’ve solved something like this before”. I was about raising my hand when a thought struck my mind; “what if I go out there and mess up…in front of the whole class! By this time, my heart was already racing. “how’d I walk back to my sit after failing? With this, I remained quiet. When he saw no one came o...

HOW TO BALANCE RELATIONSHIP AND ACADEMICS

  Before I begin this article, I’ll want you to know this: _________________________________________ Your relationship is your priority but your studies is your top priority. Efzibarh. _________________________________________  Of course, we teenagers (or youths) fall in love at certain points in our lives especially in high school (I fell too). But it saddens my heart when teenagers get so engrossed in their partner that their studies suffer for it. They forget why they are in school. They don’t know how to balance their relationship and academics.   Here’s from John: We’ve been doing so well together until final year(senior). Few weeks to exam, she sadly told me that we cannot continue the relationship anymore as her family is moving permanently to Germany. Since then I’ve been so moody, the feeling of ‘you might never see her’ broke my heart. Barely could I read two lines without thinking about her. When my results were out, I had an ‘E’  in math....

BUILDING CONCENTRATION IN CLASS

  To begin this article, I’ll want you to know this: _________________________________________ Have a concentrated mind, it's the mind of the successful. Efzibarh.  _________________________________________   Developing a concentrating mind in class has always been a challenge to many students especially when the class is boring. This has made many students remain academically poor because when there’s no concentration, there’s no learning.    Well, in this article, I’ll be showing you various ways to help concentrate in class but they can only help if you’ll pave way for it.    A student, Ella said:   Whenever I try to concentrate in class, I end up doing otherwise, every sound fades away gradually as my mind drifts into various thoughts. I jerk back into reality when I’m being hit or shouted to. At the end, I gain little or nothing at all.    So what exactly is concentration? It is state of concentrating, that is, ...
