Hey, what's up?
I'm Kantis Simmons, Academic Success' coach
and leading authority on student achievement,
as well as the author of Playing Your A Game.
Now, I realize that as a student there come times
in your academic life where you absolutely hate (mumbling)
going to school or maybe even going to class.
The key question that you should ask yourself is this:
Why am I doing this?
And as a student actually this question:
why are you in school?
Why do you take the classes that you take?
Why do you want to pursue a certain college degree?
Why do you want to go into a career field?
Motivation comes from the word Motive.
If you look at the word Motor,
a motor runs the car.
Your Why, the big reason why you're in school,
that's your motor and your motive
that keeps you motivated to succeed in school.
