Many students start high school knowing that they should do well and feeling that they want to do well, but stop short of identifying exactly why doing well is so beneficial. By identifying the why, it is easier to become more motivated and more committed to the time and effort it takes to succeed. Alice has identified three big reasons to do well:
The Three Big Reasons to Do Well
1. You Get to Take All You Learn With You
2. Doing Well Increases Your Options and Makes You More Marketable
3. You’re Practicing the Skills You Need to Be Successful in School and Beyond
