    and in a sense, she was correct, i will not graduate at 18, i will graduate at 16,
    this is my dream, and will become my reality

    You're right about the mentality. Im aware of the excuses and belittleing about myself, but I dont stop it. I always thought I was average, and that could be true because of the mindset I have over myself. I always wished I was the smart kid who understood anything and that my parents should have been stricter with me so I could have been more of an academic at a young age. I think now I could just motivate myself and be delusional in a way.

    (study guide) im so appreciative for this video! im in my first semester of college after taking a gap year. during highschool, as long as a graduated i was content- but i was always so jealous of those who had school come “easy” to them. over my gap year i learned so much and my desire to go back to school grew so strong. i realized excelling grades rarely come easy to people, and these people devote so much time to their studies. i’m working harder than ever and only wish to keep going.

    (study guide) I'm 14 and this made me realize how much time i waste talking down myself. in the country I'm in, grade 9 exams are really important, and I've been sitting lazily and telling myself I'm dumb and don't deserve to pass, so i never study. and now I'm really determined to prove myself wrong! this year has been so bad, and I'm only making it worse by not giving myself a reason to try and make the year good. I'm done being a snob and sitting and crying to myself. I'm going to put my brain to use now! exams are in November and if i remember about this I'll tell you how it goes! wish me luck, and good luck to all of you!

    Hey Helaine! I am a freshman in high school, and I really want you to answer my query. I really wish to get into writing and literature, but don't know WHERE to start! I want to be able to write one or two novels, by the end of high school, just like you, but there's is just a TON of academic burden on me. Could you PLEASE tell me how you crunched your time to be able to write so much, how much you were able to write each year of high school, how you improved your writing skills, and on what platform were you able to monetize your books. Please let me know! Your reply would mean everything!

    • @HelaineZhao
      @HelaineZhao  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +62

      Yes writing is definitely hard to balance with school. I started during the pandemic so I was stuck at home and had more time to write a lot. After in-person school resumed again, I was staying up late often to write at night and I would write anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 words a day to upload daily. i think it is most important to get your ideas down on paper and not think too much. you can always come back and edit later! hope this helps :) good luck!

    lately i've taken a test and i didn't do well because i was lacking a lot fondamentale things, and so after realising that, i started to review everything and i have been making time for self studying, this video taught me a lot since i'm really trying to score good on my national exam, so now i understand that it is not late to start now, and stop lying to yourself even if you lack really simple things, it's better than someone who's taking their grades for granted, so do that thing you've been procrastinating and become what you aim to be

    • @HelaineZhao
      @HelaineZhao  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Overthinking is very hard but you can try the 3-minute rule. Just say I will only do this for 3 minutes. If it doesn't go out as I like, then stop. Usually, you will keep going and the task won't be as hard as you thought :)

      @haileygalbraith6260 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When I am struggling to start studying, or even when I am attempting to and everything is going wrong, I try to take a step back and examine my reaction. There are 4 main reactionaries, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Once you assess which you are experiencing, it can be easier, in my opinion, to guide yourself to a better outcome. Personally, I most often experience freeze, often categorized as procrastination. So when I acknowledge my response, I can use the higher levels of thinking we as a species have developed, to override that natural response. Sorry this was long, but it might be helpful to look into this method.

    Becoming an academic weapon:
    What is stopping me?
    1. Productivity
    Stop wasting time- put price tag on time, 1 hr=1000$
    Stop saying you don’t have time
    2. Laziness
    Who am I to be lazy about learning?
    Are you really tired or are you just finding excuses
    3. Lying to yourself
    Pretending to work hard
    You are your worst enemy
    Study methods:
    1. Active recall
    Test yourself and forcing to draw notes from memory
    Make a study guide
    Make flashcards- best for memorization
    Teach content to someone else
    2. Ask questions
    Ask teacher, classmate, or internet
    3. Do practice exams
    If you don’t do them, your waking into the test blind
    Learning question structure
    Get a feel of how much time you have
    Khan academy
    Test taking tricks:
    1. Know what will show up on the exam and what won’t
    Focus on what the teacher emphasizes
    “Everything you need to know is available for you. You just need to know how to look for it.”
    2. How to guess effectively
    Pick a consistent letter for the questions you don’t know
    Use process of elimination
    Avoid blind guessing
    Night before exam:
    1. Get sleep
    Sleep early, wake up early
    2. Review
    Review the big picture
    3. Eat
    Not too much sugar or carbs
    Drink water
    Mindset:
    “Your thoughts and reality determine your success”
    1. Believe that you CAN be an academic weapon
    Don’t think that ur dumb
    You can learn anything you set ur mind to
    Motivation:
    You are young. Your brain is the most powerful that it will ever be in your life.
    Your grades do matter
    They show your discipline
    It’s never too late to fix laziness
    NO ONE CAN CHANGE YOU BUT YOURSELF
    There are so many beautiful possibilities in life. Start now.

    Thank you so much for this. I've had most of my first and second year of High School wasted and I'm currently at 12th grade switching schools and trying to catch up on high school Sciences because my old school had inadequate teachers and a terrible learning system. Recently I've started understanding that school is much more than cramming to pass an exam but actually learning these amazing things about life and our world. Being able to apply it in medical school as a dermatologist is one of my dreams and I'm glad that I'm now able to see things in a different way and thank you so much for this motivational and educational video❤❤
    I'm looking forward to using the 8-9 months that I have left to catch up on the most I can and make my final exams worth it❤
