DEAR COUNSELLOR,

WHILE OTHER STUDENTS AT MY SCHOOL ARE EXCITED ABOUT THEIR STUDIES AND INTERESTED IN LEARNING NEW THINGS, ME, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE NO INTEREST IN ANY OF THIS AT ALL. HOW CAN I BE PASSIONATE LIKE OTHER STUDENTS? OR HOW DO I DEVELOP INTEREST IN THINGS AROUND ME?

HELLEN

Dear Hellen, it’s great when you come out to express your current dilemma seeking professional advice. One thing you’ve got to work on is to identify and eliminate whatever obstacle that holds you back from reaching your full potential. Remember, thoughts lead to purpose and decides our destiny. Education not only enhances our understanding of diverse aspects of life but also exposes us to wide range of social network for tremendous future connections. Anyone who keeps learning not only remains physically and emotionally in shape, but also remains consistently valuable and forever brilliant. The weapon of bravery and passion for books should sail you over to greater heights in all life’s aspects. Don’t accept your present dilemma to take charge of your future destiny. Step out of the ordinary and push yourself forward to fulfill your educational goals. Today different people are living happily because of the investments they made in education. 

There are many ways through which you can refurbish your lost interest in studied to explore the hidden potentials and utilise them maximally.

Have fun! You don’t have to separate learning from fun. This means doing the things you really love and excelling at something that makes you feel happier and prouder at school. If you learn to love the person you really are, as well as join extra-curricular activities. Whether you’re into volleyball, debating club or school band, these activities will worm you up to the full excitement and your learning concentration during class work would gradually build through good academic performance. Stay focused by joining school discussion groups and always approach your teachers for extra academic assistance.

Change the daily routine to break your monotony by getting yourself large cute notebooks which have simple quotes or some interesting stories to improve your reading habits. It may be very soothing to have your mind actually start working faster and efficiently. Make competent and good friends that will motivate you every time you see them achieving and break down your contact with students who do not encourage you to make the best out of school. That can be your any family member too, so try not to argue with them on any issue that will disturb you. If you vigorously apply these strategies, you’ll be right on your way to rejuvenating your passion in learning and achieving greater academic success.
