Joshua is an intelligent student who has a strong passion for the sciences. He has a tendency to pay less attention to other subjects. This, together with suboptimal commitment and complacency towards his academics, cause him to underperform. He needs to intentionally and proactively pursue excellence, meet deadlines for submission of assignments/projects and seek assistance when he needs it, as this will improve his academic performance. He also needs to improve his commitment to his personal hygiene and laundry duties. Joshua needs to guard against self and external distractions that could lead him to commit ignoble acts or be found in questionable situations.
