[09:45.27]Many students complain about school.

[09:49.53]Sometimes it seems they get too much work,

[09:59.17]At times like this,remember that some problems are part of your job as a student.

[10:06.43]If you are a student,your concern 12 is to learn and show what you learn in tests.

[10:13.59]You may not understand why you should learn something,

[10:18.55]but you should trust the teachers and try your best.

[10:23.41]See it from another person's eyes

[10:27.77]When people do something that makes you angry,try to think why they did it.

[10:34.64]Do they have a problem?Are they angry or unhappy?

[10:40.29]Maybe if you can help them with their problems

[10:44.96]they won't make new problems for you.
