Starting a new academic year is an exciting and pivotal time for both students and educators alike. Striving for academic excellence begins from the first moment the student enters the school or college gate with a clearcut academic and career goal and a commitment to pay the required price.
Everyone wants to win, but few are willing to the pay the price. All students aspire for success, but only a select few are prepared to endure the hard work, discipline and the sacrifices necessary to realize their ambitions.
Students have to cultivate certain skills and turn them into routines to achieve academic excellence.
