Take the PreSAT practice tests as often as you can starting your sophomore year in high school (without getting burned out).  Start taking the true SAT at the latest your junior year. Take the actual SAT test no more than three times though. You will need these test scores to be as high as possible for college entrance so study, practice and test often.

Thoughts are crucial to success and failure. Pay attention to where you spend them. Be particularly careful of the "conversations in your head" with others. You will get what you think.

Volunteer and serve often. Ask yourself and others “How can I help?” It is one of the main reasons you are on earth right now.

Visualize the outcome you want for any situation. It will eventually come to pass. Be sure to use emotions and see yourself in your mind as already having accomplished or having what you want. Keep focused on the ends not the means. You will get what you focus on soon.

Meditate and pray at least once a day. This keeps you close to God and spiritually centered.

Own a fireproof safe. You can put valuable jewelry, your emergency money and valuable documents like wills, social security cards, passports, and birth certificates in it. Just hide it very well! 
They usually start from $48 and up. You can find them at almost any big box store or at Amazon.

Have a good quality mattress and pillows. Spend the extra money here and get as natural as possible. Many mattresses contain toxic chemicals that are obviously not good for your health. You can get an organic or cotton type cover to go over your mattress at the minimum. Try starting at LifeKind. "O" magazine recommends it.

You should not be sleeping on a mattress that is 10 years old or older. The original support has definitely begun to give out. There is also the bed bug issue. Quality restful sleep is essential. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!
