Thank you so much for the listening ears you have given to me @humanearl, you have attended to all my comments with somuch attention to details, responding to me adequately, thank you.
I have a challenge, and that is that I love what I do, and that is building electronic devices, but when it comes to the academic aspect, I find my grades being low. I've tried so much, but yet my grades are still low. But when it comes to practical, am very good at it. Please what do I do. Do I have to drop out of school, or do I. Just continue. This has been bothering me alot.
Great inventors and builders of things don't have to do well in school in order to be a good at what they do.
If building things is something your good at doing and actually like it the you should keep building.
Also you don't have to drop out of school unless you want to go to a school that helps you develop your skills further. Another thing is to look for opportunites or projects to be a part of that allows you to use your building skills.
Hope this helps.
Yah it helps so much. On the issue of looking for opportunities that allow me to use my building skills, I joined a group of people who have the same passion as I do, and they motivate me alot.
For now, there is no special school that helps develop my skills, so I just have to continue with my present school. It's really not easy, but I believe God's grace will surely see me through.
Thanks so much for your advice, it has really helped me alot.
Well said @humanearl. I totally agree with what you have said. Just to add to what you have said, an advice to @blessing2002 is that from experience, the likelihood that you're the first student on your campus to be struggling academically is, well, nonexistent. That means, of course, that there are places you can go for help.
First and foremost, reach out to your professors. While going to office hours and talking to a professor might be scary, remember that they, too, were college students once. Talk to them about your struggles. Ask them what guidance they can give you, whether it be the name a tutor or the offer to look over your work before you start working on your next paper.
Additionally, talk to your academic adviser. If you're too nervous talking to your professors, you adviser can be a great resource. He or she might know other students with whom you can form a study group; they might have some tips on how to do better in a certain professor's class; they might help you come up with an action plan of how to better manage your course load.
Your campus likely also has some kind of academic support or tutoring center. Use it! It's part of what you pay for in your "tuition and fees." Even if you aren't sure what kind of help you need, stop in to see what it has to offer. From peer advisers to faculty tutors to help with time management, an academic support center is a definite must-see.
I hope these tips help.
