Straight a's in high school? Staying positive?
Hey I'm a 14 year old girl, going into high school. I've always been a B, C student but this year it's different, it's when it really starts counting. Last year I made an oath (I'd really like to keep that oath) to my parents I would try my very best to make better grades in high school and I want to do better. I discover most of my struggles in algebra, and science. Although, I find Science very interesting and exciting I usually end up with a high C on my report card in that class but on the other hand, I find Algebra very frustrating. I really want this year to be different, I want to be a straight A student. I know it will be hard but I know I can do it and besides all my teachers are amazing (; I would like to know how(from an optimists point of view)can I remain positive thinking? I often find myself..dwelling on the future, asking 'what ifs', and thank u so much in advance..(:

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
If you really want it, you can have it. You know that, you just have to put all your effort into it.
Obviously, don't procrastinate. That's one of the biggest problems most students have. There will be a project due in a month, so they wait and do it the week it's due. Don't do that.
You already know what you struggle in. So you need to get help in those areas. Not just because you want good grades, but because you need to actually learn it. So I'd say get a tutor or see if the teacher can make time for you after class to help you with things you don't understand. You can get together some friends and form a study group.
Don't over think your future. You know you'll have a good future if you focus on school. Thinking, "What if" isn't a good way to think. It's always good to know the consequences of your actions, but to go on thinking, "What if I fail, what if I don't succeed, ect" is bad for you. So when you start doing that, stop and do something else. You need to focus on yourself and doing well.

Getting straight A's don't just come to you that easily. Students work their ass off with studying and all-nighters just to get the grades they want. If you want straight A's, they you should start stepping up your game. High school is when your grades are serious. You should always have confidence in yourself and know that you are intelligent and you will achieve your goal -- as long as you work hard and try the best you can. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask your teachers questions. Teachers love it when students come in during office hours to talk to them because it shows that you are an eager learner.
Maybe you could get a tutor too, most high schools offer the student to student tutor system, so you should consider that.
But just remember to ALWAYS try your best.
