You have to keep a positive attitude and believe in it. Don't let fear get in the way of the work you know needs to be done. Dewitt Jones has said repeatedly in many inspiring interviews and videos “Don't give up! Keep trying! Take risks!” You never know what you're capable of until you try. Don't let the fear of failure make you fail. In my experience, I have found that the hardest part of an assignment is starting it. The fear of not being good enough diminishes when you start the task and stop worrying about how to do it. Dewitt Jones also said, “Don't wait for the perfect opportunity, act now.” The longer you think about the assignment and what you think the teacher wants to see, the more stressed you become and the less likely you are to attempt the assignment. Your mood will improve dramatically when you keep up with your homework, which is extremely important for staying motivated. Schedule time for breaks and activities you enjoy, but make sure you always have adequate study time for yourself
