15 Essential Tips for going Back to School

Organizing schoolwork would be a breeze for many students if only they followed a few simple tasks on a routine basis. Very often it’s the small details of daily life that slow you down.

The following are some suggestions to maintain good school grades and to be a successful student:


  1. First impressions are often the only impressions you get to make. Make your teacher’s first impression of you one that will help you get good grades and all the help you can use. Use Martial Arts focus.  Focus your body, Focus your mind and Focus your eyes. 
  2. Remember that your first few classes are your most important classes. This is where you get off on the right foot and to a good start. Concentrate and be alert so you can do your best.  Remember how we accept challenges in Martial Arts - be positive "Bring Them On."
  3. Your room is your castle and your office. Be sure to make it orderly and functional. Keep it clean.
  4. Prepare for tomorrow the night before. Set out your clothes for the next day. Pack your backpack with your completed assignments and books you used. Put it an accessible place so it is ready to go in the morning. Get a good night’s rest.
  5. Start the day in a relaxed and purposeful manner. Set your wake up clock or phone with enough time to do what you have to do in the morning. Thirty minutes is never enough to get ready for school, and it is not fair to you, your grades, or your teacher.
  6. Be on time for school and your classes. Late is never good, while early is almost always the way of the winner.
  7. The best time to do your homework is right after you get home. You will have a better chance of remembering that day’s instruction, and less of a chance if you chose other distractions first. Do it NOW! The best time is NOW!
  8. Rule your own life. If you let the television, video games, or your friends rule your life, then you will not be the winner you should be. You have a life of your own. It is worthwhile and meaningful. Rule it yourself.
  9. Learn how to stop texting and making calls. Use respect, but hang up anyway and stop messaging. Your teachers will not accept a 2-hour texting binge as a reason for poor or incomplete homework. Learn to say, “Can I please call you back in 30 minutes?”
  10. Walk away from situations or people that will destroy your mental or physical growth. Rule your own life.  Don't get caught up with gossip.
  11. Make good use of small blocks of time. There is no rule that says you have to sit in zombie-mode while listening to music or watching TV. Do some of the easy stuff at those times.
  12. Have a POSITIVE relationship with your parents and your teachers, and always maintain respect.  Show respect at all times, and you will do much better.
  13. BE SELECTIVE IN CHOOSING YOUR FRIENDS. You do not have to be friends with the whole school. Pick out a few people who are headed in the same direction in life that you are. If you hang out with the respectful, intelligent, and safe people, then you will be respectful, intelligent, and safe. Think about it.  You tell your best friend that you can only talk to him/her for a few minutes because you have homework. Do they get upset? If your friends cause you to skip the important things, then they are not your friends. If they understand because they are doing the same thing, then you will never be under pressure to do the wrong thing.  PICK YOUR FRIENDS WITH CARE. YOU ARE WORTH THE TIME.
  14. Have the phone number or Facetime info for at least one person in each of your classes. This way you can exchange notes or other class information, or even get homework assignments if you are sick or absent.
  15. Choose to be a winner. Never accept anything but the best from yourself.  If you find yourself in danger, or slipping, ask for help! No one can expect to succeed in school and in life without help.

Have a safe, successful and KICK’N school year!

I liked it when you shared that it is important to have a good relationship with the teachers by showing respect at all times. My sister just mentioned the other day that she is planning on enrolling her son in a science school as she wants him to learn more about the subject. I will suggest her to look for a good one in her neighborhood and make sure that her son has a good relationship with the teachers there.
