These days will never come back again and all the fun memories we had, soon will be called the unforgettable memories of school life and these thoughts scare me. All the stupid fights for foolish reasons, making fun of classmates, I’ll never forget these ten years I have spent with a bunch of my idiot mates and superb mentors. We’ll always cherish where we spent our childhood and this year will soon end leaving both tears and happiness in everyone’s eyes. Once just remember your memories of the last phase of your school life with those superb friends and humble teachers. It’s just amazing. “School may be annoying, hard, and full of challenges but you will miss it when it comes to an end,” said a student from grade 10 “Taj Mahal.”

Grade 10 is a crucial year in a student’s academic journey. It defines your 13 years of struggle, devotion, and hard work. Grade 10 students face unique and eccentric challenges in their academic journey as they tackle the national-level board exams. It’s a challenging journey, isn’t it? But the students are facing tons of academic consequences. Grade 10 often introduces an increase in workloads and assignments compared to previous grades. Students are expected to manage their several subjects with their projects, assignments, and exams. Difficulty in grasping new ideas and concepts may be one of the foremost reasons that can lead the students to fall behind in the class. Likewise, Grade 10’s curriculum is considered the most difficult one with the advancement in various subjects like mathematics, science, etc.  Similarly, the students are also facing time management problems. Poor time management can lead to procrastination and missed deadlines which can increase the stress and anxiety in the students. Lack of motivation also plays a pivotal role here. 

“Family’s expectations as well as societal pressure is increasing day by day this year. However, I should do my best in the board exams. I am planning to follow different kinds of studying strategies this year. This is the closing year of my school journey. I want to thank my teachers, mentors, and friends for making my journey memorable,”said moon joshi from Grade 10 “Taj Mahal”.

According to the grade 10 students, some of them are forethoughting to study 24/7 with no distractions, some are drafting their timetable whereas some are planning to throw away their gadgets to improve their academics. And also procrastination.


Students should learn strategies for their improvement. Students should be able to break their larger assignments into smaller manageable tasks. Utilising planners or digital calendars can also help students. One should daily revise the chapters so that they shouldn’t panic at the last minute of exams. Students should be reminded that it’s okay to ask for help if they are needed without any hesitations. They can seek support from their tutors and classmates. Parents and Teachers should encourage students to engage in the activities they enjoy, sufficient sleep, and practice stress-reducing exercises. 

Navigating the academic challenges for grade 10 students needs effective strategies. As a student of grade 10 I  can clearly state that with the right support and mindset, Grade 10 can be a beneficial, gratifying, and innovative year in academic journey.
