Improving Your Study Skills
Chapter One
Making Good Grades
"I am still learning."
-Michelangelo
You may feel pressure from your parents or instructors to make
good grades, but to achieve real success, you have to want to do
well yourself. The drive and goals and desire have to come from
you. Although your instructors, parents, siblings, and friends can
encourage you, the responsibility is yours to decide to do your
best. You must be willing to dedicate the time and effort needed
