Dream on

High school students are full of aspirations for the future for themselves, their loved ones, and their country. You should try to nurture your dreams. That is the energy that motivates you to study well and practice well while still in school.

Read books diligently

Every day, spend time reading books: science and technology books, books on how to be a good person, books about famous people, poems and short stories... If you read books diligently, you will spend less time on games and Facebook.

The pages of the book contain many good lessons about tolerance and courage in life; helping children develop knowledge and skills. Moreover, the book helps children answer the questions: What is the purpose of living? How to live? By reading books, children will know and understand how to live a decent life and change themselves.

Learn English

English will help you be dynamic, confident and creative. Learn English well today to become global citizens of tomorrow.

Practice reasoning

There are many ways, I want to talk about one that is being mentioned a lot: learning math. The 4.0 industrial revolution is changing the world today and the foundation of this revolution is math.

Learning math to take exams is a small matter, learning math to develop thinking, to act creatively, to change yourself, your family, your country is the core goal. Learning math is not just about solving exercises based on teachers' experiences; following the forms, tips or solving them with computers.

These methods are actually bitter pills coated with sugar. Learning math requires students to be serious, persistent, imaginative, and practical. This is an effective way to help students practice reasoning.

Sports

Play sports every day to relax, reduce useless time on the internet, and improve your health. Be healthy to study well, think healthily, and later build a solid foundation for your health.

Help family

Depending on each child's situation, you can do this. Start helping your family with simple daily tasks. Folding the blankets every morning, cleaning the house, helping your parents with cooking, taking care of your younger siblings, doing farm work, trading...

If your family is poor, you can work after school to help your parents. You should act immediately, don't wait, don't promise, don't depend on others. Not sharing work with your family is selfish and irresponsible.

Know how to give in

Be tolerant of your siblings at home, in class, and at school. Being tolerant does not make them inferior.

When participating in traffic, living and playing in public places, please give way to your friends, do not compete with each other through eyes, gestures or words. Knowing how to be patient and respect elders and juniors is a manifestation of civilized and polite behavior.

Live disciplined

This quality does not come naturally, it is the result of the process of cultivating oneself according to the values, teachings of family, school and regulations of society. Living a disciplined life will help children contribute to creating a safe and friendly school environment.

Remember to wake up early

Get up early every morning to enjoy the sunrise with fresh emotions, then exercise, review lessons, plan for the new day and also help your family. When you have the habit of getting up early, you will be proactive with work and favorable in studying.
