How do i gain my focus back so that i could do well in school
Question Posted Friday January 20 2012, 10:27 pm
I moved to the us about one year ago, and this seems to be one of the worst things that could've happened. Where I came from we valued our tasks and get them done quickly, but I seem to be loosing myself. What's even worse is that my social and family life is crumbling at the same time. I have no friends to talk to, my father hates my mere existence after leaving me for 7 years because I'm not like his eldest daughter, and I'm not a troble maker, my mom has no clue of whats going on in my life, and argues with me a lot because she thinks I'm not supportive (some days I try really hard to please her, but nothing works anymore), I lost the guy I care about because I know my parents don't want me with a boyfriend, and I had to watch him suffer and almost cry because I rejected him. But, the good news is he's fine now and moving on, but thats also the bad news. Everyone just seem to hate me now because I defended this girl, the girl and the people are friends again but I'm not ok with them anymore and the list of problems go on. All I need advice on though is how to put aside all else and get my grades back on track
But some of the most successful people in the world all had hard childhoods- Rhianna and Vanessa Hudgens for example.
My advice would be to think of the future. Think of what jobs you don't want to do and find a career suitable for you. Whatever you are good at and interested in.
Then consider this: you'll only get there with decent grades. Most people do better at school when they know what occupation they want at the end, as they've something to work towards.
Just think how great you'll feel when you achieve your career goal, and these people who are nasty now wont be as succesful because they wasted there time at school by having too complicated social lives.
Persistance and determination really do pay off, so if ever you feel down imagine yourself not being able to achieve your desired career goal-it'll spur you on. And success is a very attractive and powerful thing to have, so all these people will want to be a part of that, whether you let them will be your choice.
