Motivational? I don't think so.




Every Form 3 student has it. Its stuck on our desks on the top left. But what is it?





Its a piece of paper, with our exam scores stuck on it. So what is this supposed to do?





Its supposed to motivate us to do better in PMR. On it is written our scores for the past... 3 exams? And on the bottom, is the score they predict us to get in PMR for every subject. Its the score they PREDICT. And thats not really nice, 'cause I was predicted 1A, 3B's, 2C's and 1E. How sad. They think I'll get 1A, and 1E. @.@ What if I have higher expectations for myself? I want to get into Science Stream, and with a predicted 1A, I'm not gonna get in.





So this thing is here for us to see everyday when we walk into class, come back from classes, recess... etc. And one thing is, I can't see a thing on it. Thats why some of the subjects are highlighted in green in the top pic... and below, shows the desk view.









Its just a random piece of paper! I can't see a thing written on it! You call that motivational???


Here's my example of motivational.



We all should make one. Its more eye-pleasing than a white paper with numbers and their predictions of your scores. Use our favorite colours, designs and such and what we ourselves want to achieve for PMR. If your friends laugh if you write "I want 8 A's in PMR" but your actually a below-average student, its ok!! That means, those who laugh at you are either scared to write down "I want 8A's" as well, or they have no goals in life. Now paste this paper with YOUR goals on the top left of your table. Clear, big, bright letters. Something we can actually see every time we walk into class from recess, toilet, etc.

Now compare that with the one we all got. Which one seems more motivational to you?
