You Can Do It.

School. Most days It will be the last place on earth I'd want to be. Some days I'd go just so I can see my friends. Other times I go simply because if I don't I'll end up sitting at home, alone, doing nothing productive. To me, in my current year of high school I find it extremely hard to be persistently positive about school. I love learning. I love to increase my knowledge. But, I hate when I have to force myself to learn things just so I can get a good grade. That's when my whole perspective on school changes. 

Now, I'm a person who can overthink, a lot. When that happens I start feeling anxious and It's the worst thing ever. School can make you feel depressed. Some might agree with me but on the other hand I know a lot of others will. Schools should change the way they teach and the way things process. Don't make everything about getting excellent grades. Make learning fun. Don't stress the students out. Support them. Most importantly do not tell them, generally speaking that they cannot achieve their dreams. Never ever do that. What? That girl/guy wants to become a surgeon? Great! Support them. That guy/girl wants to be president? Tell he/she you can do anything! Don't shoot their dreams. Don't do that because all of that is possible. I know so many people who didn't do the things they love because people told them "it's too hard" "that's not right for you" "you're not good enough" 

No! Stop! What are you doing? You want to know how you can help pupils enjoy school and studying with a positive attitude? By telling them that whatever they want, whatever that is, they can have it. With hard work. Possibility is one of the most amazing things ever. When students set goals for themselves they'll be motivated to do whatever it takes to become what they want.

And for anyone out there who feels like they can't get through something, you can. You can do anything. We all go through hard stuff whether we like it or not. The best way to deal with those things is to go into them positively. 


Don't let someone tell you you can't do something.



Also I'd like to share some Media that helped me become more positive. 

Movie's: The Pursuit Of Happyness, Homeless To Harvard.
