How to be a Super Successful Student

President Dwight D. Eisenhower originated the term "First things First" back in the 50's in conjunction with his "Eisenhower Matrix"  (Important/urgent, not important/urgent, important/not urgent, not important/not urgent).  Since then, many others have adopted his matrix ideas to prioritize activities. The main idea is to spend your time NOW doing what's really important for your academic success.

During your high school years, apply Eisenhower's "First things First" advice day by day, moment by moment, so that you can be an Academic Champion and love your formal educational experience. Always do what's most important--those things that bring you high academic success. If you put FIRST your school success, then other things will fall into their proper place for your ultimate good.
