I’ve got big dreams I want to achieve when I grow up but looking at myself, it seems like a mere daydream. I was always a straight-As scorer back in primary school but it stopped there. One of my cousins, on the other hand, says it’s OK to procrastinate. Honestly, this scares me. I know mid-term exams are nearing and SPM isn’t far away. I’m afraid it’ll all be too late when I realise what I should’ve done sooner.
Everyone around me don’t even bother to help me but blame me for being stuck in the rut. Please help me, Thelma.Studying for exams is about paying attention to the materials, then breaking it down and making sure you get it all, and then letting it sit for a while. When you re-engage, you finalise the gaps in your understanding. It’s a process and it takes time and quite a lot of energy.
My dear, very few people get straight As. In fact, there are several CEOs of very successful companies in Malaysia who will tell you they were the despair of their teachers.
