school rules. You can achieve things by setting targets for yourself and working towards them.
Nobody is perfect in every subject. You have strengths and weaknesses that you have to accept.
As long as you try hard every day, you will be successful. Sometimes success is just going to
bed at night knowing you did the very best you could do. That's all anyone can ask of you.
