Being first in your class is a goal that you can work toward, but you must set it for yourself from the first day of high school.
Read beyond assigned reading. Following your course outline and doing all of your assigned reading are important. But to pull ahead to first rank, you also need to read books that can provide that extra information you need. Prepare an extra credit report based on what you learn.
Don't just physically sit in the chair. Be a part of group discussions, and volunteer for extra projects and teams. Take leadership roles whenever they're offered. If the class has a debating team, take part in it often and come prepared with notes and references for every debate.
Ask for help when you see you need it. Balancing different classes and assignments can make it difficult to keep up in every subject. If you feel that you are having trouble grasping certain topics, don't struggle until your grades begin to slip. Turn to the teachers if necessary. Show an interest in your classmates. Your teacher will notice.
Ask your teacher for extra credit assignments, particularly if you receive a disappointing grade in a subject. Don't merely accept the mark. Do everything you can to raise it.
Stay physically fit. Eat well, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep. Spend time outdoors and away from your studies. But be disciplined(有条理的). Schedule a study period for each day and stick to it.
