Hygiene reminders before going to school
Is it only what you mentally absorb and how you behave that count in reaching the top? Of course, sloppy and tired geniuses have been honoured and awarded internationally. But how clean and orderly they kept themselves was also talked about unpleasantly. You do not want to be remembered this way, do you?
Before coming to school and no matter how tired or hurried you are, manage to a bath, brush your teeth, comb your hair, powder your face and wear clean clothes and footwear. Check that your books, notebooks and your school bag are also clean, usable and presentable. Be careful to maintain cleanliness and orderliness with your clothes, footwear and school things. Nobody wants or admires a slop. Even an intelligent slop. Always bring a comb, a hankie and possibly a toothbrush and small toothpaste along with your snacks in your school bag. Try to come to school early enough to have time to tidy yourself before classes begin. Comb your hair and tie it up (if you are a girl with long hair) or style it neatly (if you are a girl with short hair or if you are a boy). Wipe any dirt or smudge from your face, neck, arms or legs with your hanky. And brush your teeth after lunch if your classes end in the afternoon. Everyone wants to be near someone who smells clean and is clean and tidy from head to toes. Clean your shoes inside and out and check for cracks. Sew your torn socks and wash them daily.
