Various assignments are offered in senior secondary schools for helping students to gain practical knowledge. Take these assignments as an opportunity for growth rather than a drag in their gala time. Don’t pass-up your projects to others to work on. Take initiative to do it on your own.
Senior secondary education is most important series for future development. Set reminders and plans towards your goals. Fix half hour daily for each subject for studying. Practice writing along with reading topics. Make notes on each topic that will help them in further revision.
Research on further subject options for graduation and start practicing accordingly.
