I should be studying but instead I’m looking at pictures of other people studying.

This video is so inspirational. It just goes to show you how far you can go when people take the time to believe in you and help you every step of the way. I was successful in both soccer and running because I had amazing coaches. I will never forget the coaches and people that took the time to believe in me. Take the time to watch this video. You won’t regret it. Kayla is an inspiration in every way.

Something a little different to answer the question of ‘How should I study?’ I’ve done some research on the main three learning types- visual, auditory and kinesthetic, so just see which one fits you best (you might be more than one), and try out the six most popular methods I’ve found for each. For reference, I’m a visual learner, can you tell? Haha!
