BALANCING HIGH SCHOOL AND PART-TIME WORK

Part 3

Brad MacGowan, of the career center at newton north high school in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a students life, if taken on responsibility. “ you can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money,” he says. “in most cases, you can acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences.’ In addition your supervisor may be willing to strong college recommendation for you. School comes first

School work, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. Macgowan cautions students who do decide to work, “if you are rushing through your assignments … or not studying enough for test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find less time consuming job.”

when doing a hobby make sure its good because when you have a hobby and what ever you do it will always reflect on what kind of person you are and thats why you never want to have bad habits.

BALANCING HIGH SCHOOL AND PART-TIME WORK

Part 2

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both – work and study – successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

·         Am I an organized person?

·         What kind of study habits do I have?

·         Do I make good use of my available time?

·         Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility – and of course, handling money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

Success in AP can also help in other ways. AP helps you stand out in the admission process and offers the opportunity to learn from the most inspiring teachers in the world. Learn more about the AP program

For more help in choosing courses use college search to look up specific college’s academic requirements to make sure you are on track to attend the college of your choice

If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources to help you with this process, and with achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for that which you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working hard until you actually reach your goals.

The arts- research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on other standardized tests. The arts help you recognized patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their own abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced placement programs- to be sure you are ready to take on college-level work, enroll the most challenging courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research consistently shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP exam typically experience greater academic success and college graduation rates than students who don’t take AP.

Work hard in your righteous pursuits, and you will reap the full benefits of self-fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

SOCIAL STUDIES- You can better understand local and world events that are happening now by studying the culture and history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan.

·         U.S. history

·         U.S. government

·         Word history or geography

·         One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign languages – solid language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exiting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

after 60 years of guilt a man finnaly decided to return the money he stole from the washington sears back to them. imagine all the pain, suffering and torture he had to go through to acctually return the money.

this is good and bad. good because he accually returned every single penny and faced the consequences. its bad because he returned it 60 years later, and he shouldnt have stolen it in the first place if he knew it was going to affect him. but he still returned it so its good.

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four-year or two-year College.

English… take English every year. Traditional courses such as American and English literature help you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Math… you need algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance exams and in college math classes – and in many careers. Take them early on. That way you’ll be able to enroll in advanced science and math in high school, and show colleges you’re ready for higher level work.

Most colleges look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The more competitive ones require or recommend four years. Each school has its own program, but some of the courses typically offered are:

·         Algebra 1

·         Algebra 2

·         Geometry

·         Trigonometry

·         Calculus

SELECTING YOUR COURSES

Part 1

the academic rigor of high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school course schedule as a blueprint of your education. They’re looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college

to create that foundation, take at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basics and then move on to advanced courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun; but you need a firm grasp of fundamentals before going on to more advanced work.

THE POWER OF STUDY GROUPS

Part 4

Getting the most out of a session. Here are some tips to help your group get the most of each study session:

·         Decide what your going to do in advance.

·         Prepare for the session, so you can make most of the time together

·         Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge

·         Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trail of life, then those people are not friends, and you must avoid them at all cost. Who ever said learning cant be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exiting when you study with others.

"in life as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goal posts are"

when not having a goal in life its like your not trying at all and your going to fail in life, and having a goal can take you through many differnt levels in life.

THE POWER OF STUDY GROUPS

Part1

Working together helps everyone. you may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·         Think out loud

·         Share ideas

·         Learn from one another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together – explaining concepts, arguing about the, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

HOW TO TAKE ON COLLEGE STUDYING

Part 3

DO THE READING

You need to do more than just read the chapters that you are assigned – you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·         Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·         Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest- chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·         Look up any words you don’t understand.

·         Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·         Take notes instead of highlighting – this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
