I am a student taking my O Levels in 2013. Being a final year student, I must have a picture in my mind of how my final results will turn out, before I can pursue my tertiary education in Singapore Polytechnic . I have to take my studies extremely seriously, to perform well in the national exams. There will not be any more time for me to fool around…
I have my personal motto: Personally driven to achieve a good outcome; don’t do it for the heck of it. This shows how serious I am when writing my 2013 Resolution.
I really want to remove away my bad study habit- checking my iPhone every now and then, before I am able to get back to my studies again. Spending two hours without electronics might sound easy for most, but for me, it produces an anxious feeling. I feel that my iPhone is taking away my precious time that I should spent on studies. Hence, I have planned to lock electronics in a cupboard that is out of reach during my study time. I will slowly train myself to kick away my electronics addiction. With electronics out -of –reach, it is a free from distraction and I will be more productive in my studies.
I better change my messy habit in 2013. Instead, I will keep my room clean and tidy throughout entire year. Books and stationery are organised into proper categories, and be placed neatly in a fixed place. Also, keeping all books free from doodling and repair any damage promptly. This is will allow me to be in a serene mood for study.
I must learn to practice effective study techniques. I will review notes before and after class, so that I am prepared to ask teachers about my unsure concepts during the next lesson, rather than waiting until just before an exam. Besides that I will learn to do the most difficult work first, perhaps breaking it up with some easier tasks, in order to complete all assignments on time.
Apart from increasing my study hours, I want to have at least six hours per week set aside for exercise and family get together. I feel that it is important to continue to stay healthy and have close relationship with family members, even during exam time. This is to help me to reduce my study stress, adding some joy into my study life.
To sum up, 2013 I need to excel in my studies and strive to be a good, kind, caring, productive person.
Since my 2013 goals are simple and realistic, I will take actions to achieve all my goals. Deeds not words!
