Bouncing back from Academic Failure ๐๐
Dear Young Person ๐
I am writing this out of experience, I was a first class student but I got distracted in my Year Three in Uni.
My Cgpa dropped so drastically that I took God's grace for me to graduate with a good certificate, one that I can confidently work with.
Here is how I bounced back.
1. Cut off all the distractions : You know them, and if you think you don't, pick a pawn and paper and write out things you think about more often, things you do more often, things you spend time on. No matter how good those things are, if they're distracting your studies as a secondary school student or a university student, STOP IT!!!!!!
2. Make friends with people who are eager to pass by all means: Get closer to them and do what they're doing, as long as it is not malpractice. I know this might sound too desperate but that's just the only way to pass. I had friends like that in school then, they will always call me each time they want to go and read at night, some nights I will follow and read well, some nights I wont and some nights I'll go with them and sleep all through.
3. Copy your notes by yourself: One thing that helped me bounce back was that as I copied my notes, the words stick toy brain. Sometimes I would be in the Exam Hall and immediately I see a question, the answer appears, in fact I Begin to picture my note and see the words line by line.
I don't know if you have experienced that?
There are many more ways but these are the three most important for now.
If you know other ways, let hear your thoughts in the comment section.

I'm rooting for you
