A lot of students confuse 'their' and 'there'. They sound the same but they have very different meanings. It's important that you understand the difference and don't make this simple mistake in your writing. Here's how to remember the correct use of the words...
Students who study hard deserve their degree = the degree belonging to them.
We are going there for the holidays = to a place for the holidays.
The new high school? Yes, he's working there now = at the place he is working.
