Question

Dear Peter,

      I am a senior high school student in the second grade. I am extremely busy with my school these days and yet things don’t go well. I know it is very important to study because the college entrance examination is coming next year. How can I deal with the boring and stressful life?  Hope to get help from you.

Yours,

Sonia

Hi Sonia,

The first thing I want to tell you is that you are not alone. Millions of other students have felt this way and many thousands feel this way right now.

Good luck and please let me know what happens.

Yours,

Peter

Hi Sonia,

The first thing I want to tell you is that you are not alone. Millions of other students have felt this way and many thousands feel this way right now.

Since you already know your grades are important, you should understand what you are doing right now will have a large influence on how well you will do next year. So think about what you want to do with your future and try to make your dream come true. That’s the long-term reward which may help to give you the push to study hard now.

That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t have some fun now. You still have your weekends and sometime after school. Then the answer is to plan your days. Make a timetable for each day that shows you what time you must use for school and what time you can have for relaxation. Things like playing outdoor games, watching videos or chatting with your friends can surely make you feel refreshed.

The school year won’t last forever, my friend, and you will be out there in the sunshine before you know it.

Good luck and please let me know what happens.

Yours,

Peter
