Motivation

My motivation for school is high because I want to succeed and get good grades so I can transfer to USC. I have always gotten average grades and want to improve for college. In order for me to get good grades I will have to do homework, study for tests and quizzes, take really good notes to study from, use my time wisely, and do not procrastinate. My friends are keeping my motivation high because they know how much I really want to attend USC and their film school. My motivation for this week was okay since I only had one major assignment to do which was my rough draft for my English class that was due on Monday. My friends really motivate me and I also motivate them to do well too. Some strategies I use are making summaries after assignments that I have read and make up questions if I do not get something, make to do lists so I will not forget to do a task, especially an important one, and go see my professors during their office hours if I have questions and just do my best overall. My time management has gotten better because I'm procrastinating less and less which is really good for me because I used to always do assignments last minute or event the day of because of how busy my schedule was in high school with being in so many performing arts and not really being dedicated to my academic classes.
