You are expected to complete all assigned tasks with sincerity, creativity, and a deep sense of responsibility,
ensuring that your work reflects both your learning and your effort.
Try to wake up and sleep at the same times every day to keep your body energised. Plan your day to include
study, hobbies, exercise, and enough rest so you feel balanced and productive.
Pick books you enjoy—whether stories or facts—and spend at least 30 minutes a day reading. Share what you
discover with your family or friends to make reading even more fun.
