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.

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."

-Marcus Aurelius

Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

Simple as that. If You know what is Wrong, or have been told it's Wrong, don't do it. If what You heard or want to say is False don't say it. You shouldn't even repeat something You heard on the way to the bathroom, or your room- that's considered Gossip. Choose The Right!

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 do reach your goals.

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 (Two Semesters)

·        U.S Government (One Semester)

·        World History or Geography (One Semester)

·        One additional Semester in the Above or other Areas

Foreign Languages
Solid foreign 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 exciting. 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.

The academic rigor of your 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 the fundamentals before going on to more advanced work.

Choosing a Career.

I have always wanted to be a Doctor. At first it was my Family who introduced that Career to me. Then I realized I actually liked that Idea. I think it's going to be very Exciting to accomplish this goal. I want to Cure People, and make them Smile. Of course, it won't be easy to give them Bad News but I'll try my Best.

I used to play Teacher with my Cousins and Neighbors when I was small. I liked being in control. But what I really liked was Teaching them New suff in a Fun Way. They would be really concentrated listening to me. I don't really think about this career as much but I know if I dont become a Doctor, I'll become a Teacher. 

My mom wants me to be a Police or an Ambulance Dispatcher . It sounds Great but it's not really something I would like to do.

The Power of Study Groups [Part 3.]

The Power of Study Groups [Part 3.]

Guidelines for Getting as Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and starting a group:
How many? Create a group of six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.
Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in a class, take notes, as questions and respond to teacher’s questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.
Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes.
How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.
When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.
Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone.
Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

"Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices."

-Albert A. Montapert

What the quote means is that whenever you decide something consequences will ALWAYS follow. Nobody has ever escaped the consequences and nobody ever will. For example: You're driving and you see no police around you, so you decide to do a U-Turn, week later you receive a camera ticket in the pail for committing a U-Turn - that's the consequence of choosing the wrong and thinking you'll escape with it. Another example: when you'e studying for the test 2 days before it, later receiving it back with an A+. No matter if you choose the right or choose the wrong consequence will always be there, good and bad, you choose.

Do the Reading 

You need to do more than just read the chapters 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 that 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.
