8th Grade Research Paper

Dear 8th Grade Student,

I have learned in my 8th grade experience that working hard is key to passing classes. Not only do you have to work hard, but you have to work smart. You need to be able to complete your work on time and correctly. If you can do this in 8th grade, then you should have a blast.

One thing that helped me pass classes (especially math), was GROWLS. Probably 3 out of the 6 days in a cycle I would be in my math teacher's room working on problems. I suggest getting your work done so that you can have more fun and do better in your classes. In 8th grade, you might struggle with the math teaching style. The teachers will give you a packet and a video to watch for homework, then you will practice in the next class. My advice

for getting through this style is to watch and rewatch the videos as much as you see needed. I think that you will enjoy science. You get to learn about a lot of cool things that are in the world around you. Just make sure that you take notes.

I feel that the best way to succeed socially, is to make friends early on in the year. If you do this, then you can get to know them better and share jokes. And on the weekends, you can hang out with each other. The best way to be emotionally successful is to not get too stressed out. I failed this, I got way too stressed out over math tests when they weren't even that bad. Lastly, to succeed personally, I recommend setting goals. Make your goals achievable so that you are happy with yourself once you meet them. If you ever need help with math, Ms. Mayberry. She is fun and very educated in what she does.

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.
