Academic achievement is different from any other form of achievement that involves competition. The need to perform well in the academic field is evidenced by effort and persistence on an individual part with the primary aim of laying the foundation for a better future. Some of the aims of academic achievement include a better career, higher opportunities, and a better understanding of life.
In order to get a good career job, like a doctor, a person has to excel in all academic training designed to produce a doctor. Likewise, if a person desire is to be a pilot, he or she has to take aviation courses designed for would-be pilot and excel academically, the end of which he or she will get the license to search for a pilot job. In essence, one aim of academic achievement is for career purposes.
Another aim of Academic achievement is to increase personal opportunities. Today world has become very competitive. Jobs are very scarce and the cost of living has risen. When a person excels in education, he or she stands higher chances of getting a better job than a person who never achieved academically.
Academic achievements help a person have a better understanding of the world and the things that happen around him or her. A person who has excelled in a certain discipline will most likely be in a better position to understand what’s happening in that field than a person who has not excelled in that field.
In order for a person to achieve academically, a lot of effort and determination are required on the individual part. It calls for a lot of discipline, self-drive, and motivation. It also requires a lot of support from all those a person relates with, these include parents, teachers, and even colleagues, to provide financial, academic, and moral support.
Knowledge of why a person wants academic achievement is very important; this helps a person to focus on the path that he or she wants to follow. This has been made easier by the provision of various academic disciplines. Early knowledge of what aspect of academic want to achieve is essential. For example, in order to become a doctor, there are those academic subjects that one is expected to take and excel in, the same case applies in all other disciplines.
Academic achievement is not a one-day affair rather it is a continuous process. Academic achievement in high school does not guarantee that you will succeed in college or university. More effort is required as one progresses from one stage of learning to the other. Academic achievement is thus not an act, but a habit in person, throughout his or her education life.
The aim of academic achievement is to guarantee careers that we can enjoy in the future, increase personal life opportunities and have better knowledge and understanding about a specific field. In order to achieve this aim, we have to have prior knowledge of where we want to go academically, and then with the support of parents and teachers, utilize all the resources at our disposal with the sole aim of achieving academically.
