The author also highlights the importance of establishing an obedient and trusting relationship with God, which will help you develop a strong moral character and overcome obstacles. When you're empowered from within, you'll put forth an honest effort to complete every assignment to the best of your ability. You'll never want to miss a day of school or a minute of class.
