In previous weeks, we focused on some of the tools you need to be a successful Unisa student, including
It's important to have these tools, but it's just as important to have the self-confidence and motivation to finish what you've started. Do you believe that you have what it takes to complete your Unisa studies?
What's the big deal about self-confidence? What you think about yourself and what you believe you are capable of will influence how much you invest in your studies. Are you battling a little with your studies? Do you feel like a failure because you can't get something right? Or are you worried about contacting your lecturer or e-tutor, because you're concerned about what they might say about you?
Your self-confidence is mostly shaped by your personal experiences - your relationships with your parents and siblings, how you relate to your peers and how you compare yourself to others.
Let's be honest. There will be times when you just don't feel like studying or times when you won't be able to stick to your study schedule. This is normal. Just remind yourself why you are studying and make a plan to get back on track with your studies. Read more about study motivation.
