Qualities Of An A+ Student
What are the qualities that make an A+ student?


I need help on this section of my life. I always have been a very brilliant guy, but never the model student. All my teachers have given the exact same comment regarding my academics ever since elementary: "David is has a lot of potential, he is a very smart guy, he is just very lazy" Now old habits are hard to break, but what can I do to be a better student? I never really studied in my life, I do not know how. According to my counselor, my GPA is 3.1, that is no where near I want it to be. I got until the end of this semester to get my grades up. I have been just coasting through school every since I began schooling. (I am a Junior)

Here is a list of qualities that I think a good students have:
Drive, motivation.
Great time management.
Self Discipline

Those are the only two I can think of, which I lack. I fixed my habit of not doing my homework, I do it every day, but that still did not help much. I have goals in life, but I can not find the passion in school work that I find in other aspects of my life. I seek knowledge, but I only seek what I want. I do not want to know who the presidential candidate for the Whigs in the 1848 election was or what television means in Spanish. That is a major flaw in my personality. Today I learned that actually looking at the examples given in the book helps ALOT... I am such an idiot. Now football season is over, so I have no excuse of blaming football practice for the lack of time to do homework, in fact I have extra time compared to other students because the lack of 6th period. I have a long way to mature.

Now I am the type of person that finds something I love, I stick with it all the way. I am 100% sure I am going to be a Computer Programmer when I grow up, I made that choice in 8th grade. I always knew I wanted to be a scientist ever since elementary. I picked up a C++ book when I was 11 and I was hooked since then.


I believe that if I just motivate my self and manage my time well, I will do great in school. I just need help on that.

Knowledge is useless if not put into action.












BTW I am an INTJ, if that helps.
