Don't let them convince you otherwise. The principles of the good old days are still practical and true. These people keep your hopes up for nothing. And before you know it, all those beautiful images they draw will be shattered. Brother, unless you are born with a gold spoon, don't make going to college a plan B. And the last time I check, the children of well-to-do families graduate from the best colleges, equivalent to scoring the best grades in an ordinary college. Yes. College is not a Plan B. College is not optional. I know it is not easy. And it is costly. And it is time-consuming. Yet, none of these are powerful enough to decide otherwise. Get back to school. And once in school, be the best one. The best athletes take the trophies. And don't doubt what I say. I was the best student both in high school and college. I was a lecturer/professor too.I have my own secrets to academic success. And I know the secrets of a whole lot of students, teachers, and classmates. If you can decide in going to college, leave the rest to me. I will help you to get your As. If you have nothing at hand, nothing to lose, this will be the best time to be in college. In fact, you lose a lot if you are not college. When you graduate, you don't just go away with your grade reports. There are trillion things you learn, of which some have no price tag. These are the most crucial reasons of all. In the hope that you will reconsider and firmly hold college, I present you my ebook entitled as:How to be successful in college: a new perspective on how to be a straight-a-student The ebook is organized in seven chapters. These chapters are presented in a natural, logical, and step-by-step order. In the first chapter, we have presented why you have to go to college and get the best possible grade. In the second chapter, we covered what you should do before a semester begins. It is known that preparation is at heart of academic success. In Chapter Three, we covered what you should do on your first day in class. First impression matters, right? Not really, at least when it comes to college. In Chapter Four, we discussed the after school habits that you need to develop to become a straight-a-student. These tiny habits will set you apart from the rest of your classmates if duly followed. The general principles that you need to consider on regular basis are incorporated in Chapter Five. After all, what you do on an exam day is not the only day relevant to your grade, right? Chapter Six might be the single most important reason why you want to buy this ebook: the study techniques. What makes A-students different from others is partly due to their study techniques. And at the last Chapter, we have thoroughly discussed what you should do before, during, and after we take an exam.
