ESPECIALLY WRITTEN FOR NOUR AL-QARRA
Midterms are coming up…
...And to get through them with our sanities intact, we need to focus on the half of the cup that’s FULL .
So here are three things to remind you of what you might have forgotten:
1) 5 projects = variety of skills, one of which (the most crucial one) is TIME-MANAGEMENT !! I’m sure that in our college and future career years, we’ll be GLAD this school is loading us… so that we won’t be crippled under the weight and exhaustion of the responsibilities yet to come.
2) Going back to common sense, colleges will want to accept you even more BECAUSE of what we’re doing !! they’ll see that we’re students who have endured (and hopefully survived :P) a LOT of pressure, which is REALLY saying something...
so, looking at it this way:
low grades + LOTS of successful and CHALLENGING activities = college acceptance *insha2alla*
keep in mind that colleges want active students, not only brainiacs
3) Have you forgotten WHY we’re learning with projects?? because it’s more MIND-CAPTIVATING which means learning more . We want to learn this way because it STICKS the information in our heads; it’s like a “Guarantee to LEARN the Interesting Way” :)
I only provided you with three scholastic examples; I’m sure if you take a good look, you’ll find lots of other stuff to feel lucky about..
So in the end I, TOO feel lucky. AL7MDULILAH :)
