Every child goes to school, but not everyone succeeds. Young people should be motivated to do well in school.
School and education are important to the future success of young people. Without them people wouldn’t have any knowledge.
Young people need to be motivated, or else they won’t want to try hard when they grow up.
I remember when I was in second grade and the school left it up to my mom and me to decide whether or not to hold me back.
My mom wanted to hold me back, but I said, “No mom, I can do it.” She believed in me and trusted and supported me and let me move on to the third grade.
I passed that year with good grades, all because I was motivated to learn and to succeed.
There are many things that become possible for young people if they are motivated to learn in school. If a young person is motivated, they can get good grades, they can succeed in life by getting a good job, they won’t have to struggle, and they will go through life smoothly with fewer worries.
If young people are not motivated to do well in school, bad outcomes will occur. They might not do well in school and will most likely be disrespectful, have a hard time in life, and struggle to find a way to earn money. Therefore, they will not succeed.
I have seen kids at my school who seem to not care and likely have parents who don’t care. Some of these kids are very smart. They just don’t try because they are not motivated.
If only they were motivated.
The things that young people could achieve if they were motivated to do well in school are amazing.
All young people in the world need the motivation to succeed. Without it they will struggle.
