"Approach learning with a receptive mindset and never feel limited in what you can convey through writing."

"Students should expose themselves to a variety of mediums they feel comfortable with or passionate about. Be it through books, films, video games, podcasts, or other forms of creative or informative expression, they should continuously expand their inherent knowledge of how people think, speak and act, so that they may develop their ability to inherently understand and enhance the texts they are made to analyse and generate in school."

Self-confidence is the most important factor which drives your motivation to learn and improve at any skill. Be proud of your achievements, no matter how small, and use them as stepping stones to keep growing.

"Always try to improve through all the avenues available to you! Use self-evaluation, feedback from your friends and coaches to make progress"

"Try to take risks and get out of your comfort zone as much as possible!"
