Question: i would like to be dental surgery but as i continue with my studies my grade start dropping such that i give up with my career so my query is how can you help me?

Hi Konstartin,

I agree with Marta. You shouldn’t give up. You need to try to find out why your grades are dropping and work on that. One way might be discussing this concern with your career teacher or a teacher who you are close to so that they can advise and encourage you.

You also need to try to have a positive attitude about your life and school and put in extra effort to improve e.g. trying to ensure that you that you have understood whatever you have been taught after each lesson. If anything is not clear ask your teacher during the class or right after the class. Always concentrate when your teacher is teaching. Another option is asking a friend who is good in a particular subject to explain things that you do not understand.

Have regular group discussions with your colleagues who may be better than you in some subjects. Revise past papers together.

Read whatever you have been taught on a daily basis and do not wait until the last minute before an exam to try and read lots of things at once. You can jot down short notes of key points to help you with revision.

Ensure that you have adequate sleep at night (at least 7 hours) and engage in extra curricular activities like sports for relaxation and to reduce stress.

If you have anything personal that is bothering you, confide in someone that you trust e.g. your career teacher/counselor, parents, a relative, a friend etc

I am sure that with a little more effort and support from your teacher and your fellow students your grades will improve.
