My main motivation is that I want to get into Medicine at Sydney Uni. If I don’t get the mark, I don’t get in; it’s as simple, or as difficult as that!
Also, at the end of the year, I don’t want to feel like I haven’t done my best or that I have let myself or anyone else down. I go to a very small rural, public school and the track record for UAI’s haven’t been the best, so I’m going out there to prove that just because I am from the country doesn’t mean that we can’t achieve as well as the private, city schools where resources are plentiful. I mean, I have to do physics by distance ed, because the school doesn’t have the faculties! People think physics by itself is pretty bad, but try teaching yourself! Lol.
Another thing that motivates me is ‘beating’ other people in the class. I am trying to put a big a gap as possible between me and my class mates. Proving difficult, especially in maths, where I am only tied first. Lol
If you can’t get motivated by any of these means, try a 6km jog at 6 in the morning, just getting up that early makes me feel like I can achieve anything. Alternatively, have a lie in, and after school before you get into homework or study, go for a run then. It is a change of scenery and gets all the blood pumping!
Unless ofcourse you are a genius
