Pieces of Advice from my Father

It was spring of 1993, I still remember my father’s words when he entered my room and saw me studying till late before my first final exam in high school. Like any Kids who took advice, I was one of the luckiest. Of all advice we took in our lives, as a student I still remember some that makes me successful in my studies.

First, must be understood that the question represents half the answer, what that means is when you want to answer the question, you must read it good and read it again and again till you start to remember the question. Sometimes when reading too much especially in examining time, we lost the ability to focus and we felt that we forgot the answers, but when we repeat reading the question, we start to remember the answer. Repeat reading the questions is important also for the tricky questions that you don't know till you repeat it again.

Second, at exam time the night before it, we read too much beside the other homework, our focusing being lost, and it was my favorite advice from my father when he told me " don't be late with no sleeping at night when the next morning there is exam''. And that it is important to sleep for five or six hours to get rest for the body and to get back the focus.

Beside many pieces of advice that I took it in my life, these two which belong to the study, it made me graduate from my university with good grades, these two were the best which still stick in my mind for more than 22 years. Life in college and university is like normal life, like a family, and the teachers are the parents that can help you to be successful and give you the best advice. Also the students are a part of the family. It is important to choose the good students to be friends with, maybe these relationship will last forever and be part of your life. That is what my father taught me.
