If the last school year did not work out, troubles followed you, if whatever you did, you didn’t succeed, and if you decided to fix the situation, then this article is for you!

Steps

1. 1 Start planning your school year in advance, back in the summer. Think about how you want to be in the next school year. Cheerful? Smart? What results do you want to achieve? As you answer these questions, try to think about how you can achieve your goals. what you are ready for, and how you can achieve the best results. Do more? Make more friends? At the end of these reflections, share your thoughts with your parents. They will always be able to give good advice and support you in the implementation of your plans.
2. 2 Organize your workspace at home. It would be great and helpful if you cleaned your room beforehand and set up a cozy and focused workplace. Make you want to spend more time in your work area. Cleanliness, neatness and lack of distracting details are the keys to success. Remember this. Plus, you can save cleaning time during the school year by simply keeping your room clean.
3. 3 Try to be as organized as possible during the learning process. Always write down your homework assignments and note when they should be completed. Don't put off doing your homework until the last day, trying to keep it fresh. You don't want to become a lagging student! Also, feel free to ask questions as they arise. Teachers like this very much, and they, as a rule, come to the rescue with eagerness and readiness.
4. 4 In order to start the school year with good academic performance, you need to have a good rest in the summer. "Prepare the sleigh in the summer" - this saying is extremely relevant in the aspect we are considering. If you spent your summer holidays boring and uninteresting, then nothing good will shine for you. Try to spend your summer vacation as active as possible and make it unforgettable. Go to festivals, spend more time with friends, redecorate (or at least rearrange) your room, go out with your parents, or take up a new hobby. Typically, each new school year begins with a question from the teacher about how you spent your summer holidays.Therefore, if you take care of the summer holidays in advance, then you will have something to talk about in class and from the very beginning you will create a positive attitude towards yourself.
5. 5 Buy new quality school supplies. Try to give preference to fun and interesting designs. Instead of regular pencils, choose original ones, decorated with drawings that emphasize your personality. If you are buying a ruler, then try to choose a foldable and multifunctional one. When choosing a backpack or briefcase, remember that you will be carrying it day in and day out throughout the year. Try to give preference to a model that you probably won't get bored with. As for office equipment, laptop or tablet, always look ahead and if you are going to upgrade your arsenal, then choose the advanced model. If you continue to use your old computer, decorate it with stickers featuring your favorite characters or animals.
6. 6 Choose appropriate school clothing (or uniform). Keep in mind that you have become a year older and avoid too childish styles and colors. Try to keep your clothes both fashionable and functional. Fashion is the best way to express yourself, so don't try to copy what your best friend or the coolest girl in school is wearing, but consider your personality, your figure, and your preferences. If you're not sure which style is right for you, check out fashion magazines, watch TV shows and find the one that's right for you. Go to the store (or order online) and buy the suit that best matches your research. Remember, your clothes must match your accessories and shoes.
7. 7 For September 1, dress more smartly and comfortably. This will make you feel comfortable and confident. Get a good night's sleep before your first day of school because if you look tired from the start, what happens next. Say hello to your classmates and say your name. Try to make new friends right away. Introduce yourself to your teacher as well. If your school has a tradition of carrying lunches with you, try to prepare and pack your favorite treats ahead of time! Thus, if you did not have time to have breakfast in the morning, then you will not remain hungry.
8. 8 Remember that there will be a lot of photographs on your first day, and try to make sure you look your best in those photographs. Dress neatly and prettily (just do not overdo it. Tuxedos and ball gowns are inappropriate here!). Practice smiling in front of the mirror to make you look your best in the photo. Pay special attention to your hairstyle. Remember that most photographers will take close-ups of you.
9. 9 Make the most of every minute of your school time. Timely turn in your homework, take notes during the lessons, write down your thoughts and emerging questions in the fresh footsteps, and so on. Ask teachers about anything you don't understand. The teachers love this and appreciate the activity in the class. Offer to volunteer to help the teacher. This will build your credibility and impact your academic performance. Always do a little more than the target. Use the Internet and additional educational literature for this.
10. 10 Attend electives, circles and do not refuse to participate in school activities. This will not only allow you to gain additional knowledge, but also help you make new friends. And this is very much appreciated by employers when hiring.
11. 11 Try to bring a tasty and healthy lunch with you. Go to the store and buy your favorite products! Pack your own lunch without leaving it to your parents. This will allow you not only to always eat what you love, but also develop your independence.
12. 12 Get up early (but not too early. An hour and a half is enough to get ready), get dressed, brush your teeth, pack lunch, and so on. After you've finished all this, read a few pages from your homework, pack your portfolio. Your parents will be pleasantly surprised when they see that you have done all this yourself.
13. 13 Organize a pool party at your home (if you can). Invite your entire class (including teachers) at the end of the school year. If you can't invite the whole class, invite 1-5 of your closest friends overnight. If you have had a good academic record during the year, your parents are unlikely to deny you such liberty. Have a lot of fun. You deserve it!

Tips

• Of course, good accessories and a good suit go a long way, but try to make sure that this is not the only reason people are drawn to you.
• Be yourself! Nobody likes fake and hypocritical people!
• Good Friends + Good Grades + Good Teachers = Recipe for a Great School Year!
• Don't be alone in improving your academic performance, try to achieve your best results with your friends! The bigger, the better.
• Meet friends outside of school too! The best way to make new friends is to invite them over. And then you can invite a friend to a sleepover party!
• Have fun with everything you do!
• Strive to be a top student and be one of the students included in the school's annual almanac, or get your photo to show up on the honor board! Isn't it great when everyone gets to know you?
• Share your plans for the year with your parents. They will readily help you achieve your goals.

Warnings

• Don't make too many promises that you can't keep. For example, if you promised a friend to spend time with him, do not offer your teacher help with extracurricular activities. Remember that if you fail to fulfill your promises several times, then you may lose the trust of friends or teachers.
