Papers are scattered and crumpled at the bottom of the cold, metal, locker floor. Book pages are all ripped, out of order, and hard to find.

\nSometimes students such as Senior Abigail Bradley\u00a0do not use their locker. Freshman Rachel Rettig has a spotless locker because she never uses it. Senior Jessalyn Matthews does not use her locker either. Matthews said, \u201cIt would be very organized, I love to know where everything is.\u201dPeople have different ways in doing well in school. Rettig does well in school by getting good grades. In order to have a chance of getting decent grades, a person needs to be organized and on time. Matthews said, \u201cWork quietly.\u201d When someone works quietly, they have the opportunity to possibly understand something better than if they were to just talk.There are times when there are negative parts to being organized. \u00a0Junior John Stillson said,\u201d Sometimes I\u2019m too tense about sticking to my organization.\u201d \u00a0Having papers scattered all over the locker or desk area can be a hassle, but having everything organized a certain way can make all the difference. Matthews keeps all of her papers organized by each class and period. with everything on the computer nowadays,\u00a0all Rettig needs is one folder for all her papers.This helps her stay organized, which Rettig believes is a big key to being successful. Success can and may get people their dream job. Matthews said, \u201cBeing organized is the best key to [being] successful, it makes you look very neat, and shows that you aren\u2019t messy.\u201d Junior Cody Critchlow thinks organization is a big key to success.<\/p>\n

Rettig says, \u201cKeep your head up, be organized, do your best to succeed, be yourself, and care.\u201d Matthews would agree, saying, \u201cA good tip I tell people and use for myself is to always stay on top of your work.\u201d Critchlow said to \u201cPay attention.\u201d Paying attention in class will help people learn more.<\/p>\n

Imagine: papers in a nice bright green folder, coats hung on the hooks of the lockers, books and binders all in a neat row on the bottom, no ripped papers hanging out, or books that look like they have been bitten by hungry dogs. These organization tips are very good ways to be successful.
