Dear Pressured girl.

I would think your parents are likely to be the ones pressuring you to get into a good school? You’re probably feeling the pressure because you do not know whether you can meet their expectations, and how best to study to make the grades.

What I would recommend is make a strong habit of studying consistently everyday. Put up a study timetable, and place it prominently for your parents to see. Stick to that timetable, and your parents will know the effort you are putting in to do the best you can.

You will also feel proud of your commitment to do your best and will face with pride whatever grades you’ll eventually achieved.
