Invite some friends and lead them to clean the classroom together. 2. Listening to lecturers well. Answer any questions posed by the lecturer if you know the answer. Do not wait for lecturers to call you to answer any questions. 3. Do not be shy to ask. Always ask questions to the lecturer if it does not understand something. 4. Homework / assignments well, do not always look for reasons not to do it. Do not be lazy to do the work by reason of forgetting or putting off doing it.

Besides, who knows from less like math, you even liked it. 8. Follow the extracurricular activities that you enjoy. Find out what works and activities you love. For example, if you like tae kwon do lessons, try to follow the course of these activities, so in addition to learning the lessons taught on campus, you can also get extra lessons outside of school. 9. Find a good mentor. Parents are the best mentors in addition to faculty. If there is less clear from the faculty on campus, you can ask it to parents. In addition, you can also learn from friends who excel. 10. Do not like to cheat a friend. If cheating, because you can not think for themselves silly.
