SUCCESS SECRETS OF HIGH FLYING STUDENTS
Imagine waking up on a bright Monday morning, with your mum knocking on the door of your room, being told by your mother that the president of the nation will be hosting a reception to honour you as a result of your excellent academic performance. Imagine seeing your interview being aired on CNN and you are being interviewed by the inimitable oprah winfrey as a result of being a highflying student.

Now let’s leave dreamland and face reality. What will you love to do, in order to make this dream come true? Briefly I will be sharing with you the success secrets of the highflying student. Every student dreams of being a success, but the majority never take the first step towards achieving this dream. So you are asking. …What does it takes to become a highflying student? I will be unveiling this to you in the form of an acronym from the word S.T.U.D.E.N.T

S STANDS FOR STUDIOUS
Before you can be called a student, you have to study. Your study should come before anything else. The most important thing about being a student is to study. To study means to gain knowledge especially through reading. You need to take your study time serious, never miss it. Never miss a class, and if you do, rely on the notes of your classmates, and tell them to teach you what the teacher taught them in your absence.
REWARD: Anything that gets rewarded gets done. Reward yourself after study time by playing video games, playing basketball or watching a movie.
Exercise1: Write this in your note:’ I am committed to my studies and I will never joke with my study time.’

T STANDS FOR TIME FRAME
How much time you are willing to invest in order to be a highflying student? For you to get the prize at the end of the session, you must pay a price. It is what you do with your time that determines your result at the end of the session.
Exercise 2:How much time are you willing to invest everyday in your academics?
DISCIPLINE: It has been defined as doing what must be done whether you feel like doing it or not. There will be times you feel like sleeping, playing with your friends, or watching movies, never give in , this is the price you need to pay for success.

U STANDS FOR UNDERSTAND YOUR READING STYLE
Master yourself and you will master your results. Every student has his/her unique reading style. For some individuals, they do well reciting their notes so that it will stick to their brain. Some write it several times in a jotter for it to stick. Whatever reading style you are comfortable it, make sure it works BEST for you.
REPETITION: Whatever you repeat, you retain.
Exercise 3:Write down the reading style that gets you your best result, and stick to it.

D STANDS FOR DECIDE
Make up your mind to be nothing less than the best. Life never gives you what you want, but what you decide. You need to be tired of returning home with average result. Determine in your heart what grades are unacceptable to you. What you want in life, will not be dependent on the options available to you, but what you choose. Choose to be a highflying student today.
HARDWORK:Nothing works like work.Give your all to your academics
Exercise 4:Write out the grades you will love to score in all your subjects and work towards it.

E STANDS FOR EXCEPTIONAL LOVE
Love your teachers and your subjects, and you will get good grades. Most of the time, the subjects we performed poorly at, are the subjects we hate. You can never learn from what you despise. Choose to enjoy tough subjects and find someone who loves that subject. Poor results are the price we pay for lack of passion for a subject.
Exercise 5:Write down a subject you hate and find something to love about that subject.

N STANDS FOR NEVER IGNORE THE ALMIGHTY
God is the owner of our lives and we must constantly do things that please him.Prayer is one of the ways one can communicate with the almighthy.As a student, you must pray to God for knowledge and hunger for information.
Exercise 6:Create time to pray to the almighty for success in your academics.

T STANDS FOR TAKE A STEP
If you truly desire to become a high flying student, you must pursue it.No matter how talented you are , you cannot win a game you did not play. If you want it badly, then pursue it madly. Let your fantastic results show that you appreciate your parents and teachers.
Exercise 7: Create a study timetable
AFFIRMATION: I am a high flying student , I deserve to be the best, I will not disappoint my self, parents and my teachers. I can do it, and I will do it.
