Pride screws me up a lot
Sounds good.vulgarfraction said:My motivation works... until I screw up. But that's more because I'm stupid {sic}
Anyway, I can't see any other reasons strong enough to force me to do work or study when I don't want to.
I like your username. It's lyke a constant reminder for me (and possibly many others seeking a positive change).sleepplease said:Motivations.
1. Make my parents proud for the last two years (unfortunately means getting a UAI of +99)
2. get a scholarship into Law because I cannot cannot cannot afford uni, and no hex scares me because how am I going to afford to support myself, pay rent, pay off hex, go back to france to visit my family there, go on NGO study tours to Africa... see. it doesnt work. I need scholarships
3. I would love to spend a year at Oxford or Cambridge.
4. Make my teachers happy
5. Not disappoint anyone.
Funnily enough I quite like yours too - it makes me laugh to try and say it.tlodg said:I like your username. It's lyke a constant reminder for me (and possibly many others seeking a positive change).
when exams approach i think as though i take on everyone advancewarsds style and i am 40% more brilliant than the average yr12 at my school (which i am).PrettyVacant said:Actually living up to my nerd title motivates me.
I mean, a nerd cannot fail unless it is PD/H/PE (which by the way, I got a B for in the SC).
Wow, that's almost the same as myself. You've set yourself on quite a road there, sleepplease, and I wish you good luck with this goal.sleepplease said:Motivations.

Fear not, for I thoroughly failed PDHPE, with a lovely Pass grade, and E.PrettyVacant said:It's 'cause I failed the depression test.
Point 2: I do not see how uni is economically viable for myself without a scholarship. I will be supporting myself, working whilst at uni, trying to pay of hex at the same time. I will be trying to save enough money to visit my family in france and to participate on some trips to areas of Africa taht NGO's im involved in are located. To do all this I need money. I don't have that much money. Thus I need a scholarship. To get a scholarship I need sexy marks. Thus it is motivation for a good UAI.Lucid Scintilla said:Point 2 isn't making too much sense. I'm sorry; I do not understand the essence of it.
PS: Harvard Law School is better than Oxford or Cambridge.
