Reasons Why Students Fail In Their First Year by Dapromzy333(m): 9:50am On Jan 21, 2015
Friends saw this in
http://solutionclass.com guess it will be
helpful to every fresher;
"This is based on my
experience and other
information I gathered
from some students
in my school and around
me, and I’ll be
sharing it to ya’ll.
Enjoy you read and
please whatever needs
fixing
should be fixed.
1: Failure to set their
priorities right: Most
students
find themselves in the
university or college
and tend
to think live is just a
straight road without
setting
goals or something to
achieve, they just go to
class
just because when you
are in school you
must go
to class, some don’t even
go at all. Setting
your
priorities right means
planning ahead of
time, know
what you are in for and
how soon you can
achieve
your goals.
2: The type of company
they keep: higher
institution
I a place where you will
surely get to meet
people of
different background,
ethnic group and
belief, and it
takes a bad type to know
who is bad to keep
up
with. Being a fresher is
not a crime, but most
fresher won’t stop
forming “NA WE DEY
HERE”,
yeah cos they wanna be
heard about, and
they tend
to walk with people who
can only get out of
their
lives without adding a
pinch.
3: Over engagement:
Hmmm, at this junction
I have
to clarify the difference
between school and
a
worship place or a
business arena, yeah we
understand that fingers
are not equal, reason
why
some student fend form
them while all you
do is
just to put a call through
to your dad or
mum, but
I’ve come to realize that
studying and
business
might go together but not
as expected, more
so,
some students have
turned their worship
place into
a lecture room, they call it
serving God brings
perfection and success,
but I,ll remind you
now in
case you forgot that your
primary mission in
school
is to read well and
graduate with something
worth it.
4: Failure to understand
yourself: well, you
might
ask what that mean, am
gonna tell you,
understanding yourself
means knowing
what
exactly work for you, are
you the type who
takes a
coffee before you can
read, perhaps you can
hardly
read with candle, do you
even read at night? ,
oh oh
oh so you’ve been working
against yourself
just
because bro Jack goes to
night classes
doesn’t
mean he knows more than
you do, I tell you
now
that I met lot of scholars
in my first year who
can’t
do without clubbing every
weekend, yet they
are
doing really well in their
studies. So sit
yourself
down and understand
your philosophy.
5: Social life: well, I can’t
blame it all on
facebook,
IG, whatsapp even 2go,
gosh this social
media apps
are just not gonna stop to
make and mar
people’s
dreams, technology has so
much grown in
the last
few years, students now
connect with
anybody
anywhere in the world
“the world is global”
that you
just said abi? Yeah but I
still don’t get why
you stick
to your phone chatting
and reading lots of
gist while
you should be in class or
even writing a test,
a Prof,
sometime asked why
students now fail
woefully, a
student whispered to my
ears and said
“there was
no FB, IG and 2go in your
time” I couldn’t
help but
laugh.
6: The extroverts: I don’t
know how to
categorize
this well, but am gonna
try to make you
understand,
gaining admission into
higher institution is
enough to
call an achievement, but I
tell you that’s just
the
beginning of your quest,
in remember how
many
people I called during my
first year just to tell
them I
gained admission, even
people I don’t really
talk to ,
I later thought over it and
asked “why am I
doing
this” try to ask yourself
the same question.
Perhaps
you are the type who
can’t just keep your
happiness to yourself, I
dare you to start
doing that
now, who knows you
might just get lucky to
change
7: Lack of parental advice
or care: This should
be
for the parents, you have
done well to pay for
her
school fees but on the part
of caring
oooooops you
have done woefully bad,
when last did you
call her
to ask if everything was
fine, when last did
you
even visit her in school, I
tell you students
change
in a blink of an eye, don’t
be afraid if she
returns
home acting all weird,
yeah you caused it. Do
you
even call her to encourage
her to press on
and not
to get tired, oh “no one
was there to tell me
all
these” is what u keep
saying, stand up and
fix this
aspect.
8: Misuse of freedom: Now
you are in school
and
no one to say “hey Dave,
wash those plates”
hmmmmm, well you
might be free indeed
but how
do you manage your
freedo
