How to Get the Most Out of School. Irfan Alli

      ESTABLISH A PERSONAL LIBRARY

      As a student you need to consistently build a home library of your own. This starts with religious reference books, a good dictionary, a thesaurus and reference books for various subjects you study at school.

      From there you can work to make your library as elaborate as you want, depending on your needs and the funds available.

      HAVE USE OF A COMPUTER COMPLETE WITH INTERNET ACCESS

      While schools introduce you to computers and the internet, you will eventually need to have access to one you can use outside of school that also has internet access.

      This will make it easier for you to learn to type, become familiar with various software, as well as research assignments and projects on the internet. If you don't already have one, encourage your parents to buy one for the family. An adequate used computer would be a start.

      ASSIGNMENT

      1. Make a list of things you need to buy to make you more efficient and productive as a student.

      2. Go to a stationery store and buy the items on your list.

      3.If you do not already have a designated study area, agree with members of your family as to where it will be. Set it up.

      4.Establish a filing system, then go through all information you have gathered over the years and organize it into the system.

      5.If you do not have a personal library of your own, start one.

      6.Make arrangements to have access to a computer and the internet. Better yet, have one bought for the home if the family budget allows.
