Even if you&#8217;re smart, there will always be times where you won&#8217;t be able to score high on tests because you will forget a few things that are on it. Studying is really important. Another thing is to try and not let all your stress build up. Don&#8217;t worry about whether or not you failed something because I think it&#8217;s bound to happen at some point. Lastly, it&#8217;s important to ask questions when you need to because you won&#8217;t know everything and it just makes things easier for you if you ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ronnie Zamora\/LFCISD Parents:\u00a0Angel and Anna Hurtado Siblings:\u00a0Miranda, 21, and Gabby, 17 Previous schools:\u00a0Lopez-Riggins Elementary and Los Cuates Middle School College:\u00a0The University of Texas at Austin.
