If you’re 10th birthday is coming, you might think it’s very hard to turn ten. But there are some simple tips.

1. Eat a little healthier - Well you can still indulge on those snacks in you’re lunch but if you are bringing something high calorie for you’re lunch at school, just bring that and you don’t need more snacks in you’re lunch. Or you can bring a healthy snack like granola bars. I usually don’t bring snacks with my lunch because I’m Asian American and the meals are yummy. You should try eating a little more veggies and getting a little more exercise. My friend and I became vegetarians. We still eat seafood and a few forms of chicken but no other meats. If you like to eat meat than eat more lean meat. And cut a little down on that soda. I don’t like soda so I don’t understand the temptation for drinking soda. But still.

2. Get good grades - From those pesky B’s and C’s to getting A’s. It’s not easy. You need to make an effort. You can
- Get tutoring
- Try to go to school on time and don’t be absent and save vacation until breaks.
- Slow down on you’re work so you have time to check it over.
Now you will see you’re grades getting better and reward yourself whenever you get straight A’s like a trip to you’re favorite restaurant or a sleepover or a day at the spa with you’re mom.

3. Be more responsible - Are you the type of girl who keeps forgetting homework. I’m not but I know about it from a friend. You can
- Write in a planner. Take neat notes and be specific about it.
- Double check you’re backpack before you head to school.
- Before you get out of school, make sure you have everything you need.

4. Avoid bad habits - Do you have a bad habit like nail biting? Check out this Nail Biting Style Mag post! I bite my nails too. To overcome time nail biting habit you can
- Follow you’re mom to the spa to get you’re nails done when she lets you.
- Get biweekly manicures and pedicures.
- Keep that top coat strong so you’re nails last.

5. Find your talent - Try different lessons. If those don’t work than try and be the best friend you can be. Being kind is a big talent. You would probably win things for being kind too.
