How do I become a better student?

Hey my awesome friends, I hope you're doing well, smiling, and taking brave steps to learn and grow. Whether you're at the start or end of a semester, the question of how to become a better student is super important. It's essential to clean out old ideas that you're either smart or dumb, and that talent is innate. Instead, adopt the mindset that your brain and body can learn anything with consistent effort. Remember, experience + time + effort = success. To get you started, here are some tips: sit in the front rows, study with knowledgeable friends, ask for help, get a tutor, befriend your teachers, take practice tests, and improve your self-discipline by eliminating distractions. You've got this! Stay humble, keep improvising, and move upward. Talk to you soon!
