Balancing Highschool 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 god 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

Student success statement

“In any moment of decisions, the best thing you can do is the right thing.” –Theodore Roosevelt

**What this means is that you might have a time of difficulty and you might not know what to do and you are sad and frustrated and still don’t know what to do. You don’t know whether to do that right thing or to do the bad? Well let me tell you what I do when in my life there’s a time where that occurs to me, and I get to my knee’s as humble as I can be and pray to God because I know that he will help me and I will get through this with him and nobody else. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Selecting Your Courses

Part 5

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standards test. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarity, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often 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 talent and extraordinary in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their artistic ability to take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced placement programs (AP)

To be sure you are ready to take on college-level work, enroll in the most challenging courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research constantly shows that students who score a 3.0or 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 pursuit, and you will reap the benefits of self –fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenges and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountains peaks of achievements.

Steal and Return

What I think happened is that the man stole money and later then returned it for the fact that he knew exactly that his conscience wouldn’t let him live the rest of his life. He did a wonderful job he shows that he has an honest heart. And sometimes we should do the same and be honest, if we know that something does not belong to us don’t touch it or take it, we should always choose the right no matter what, because if you think that just because no one could see you take something that isn’t yours, just know that God is watching each and every one of our steps throughout our life. Choose the right!!!

Selecting your courses

Part 2

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

 

English (language arts)

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

Student Success Statement

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

-Thomas Carlyle

What this quote is saying that you have to set goals for yourself even if it’s hard for you to do so, because if you don’t set goals in your life you are most likely to be a ship without a rudder. And a ship without a rudder doesn’t go ANYWHERE, nor-left, nor-right. You will just sink and bring yourself down, because you without goals it’s like a ship without a rudder. CTR!!!

Getting the most Out of a Session

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

·       Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·       Prepare for the sessions, so you can make the most of your time together.

·       Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·       Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing you individual study with a 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 trails of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

The Power Of study Groups

Part 2

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 help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organized skill, the ability to stick to a task or capacity for memorization.

Cover more around Group members may 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, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you need to spend more time studying!

Part 1

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 principles make studying groups useful. Studying with others in small groups 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 material together—explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s—and in the process, you most likely learn  more than you have studying by yourself.

WALK THE TALK

When you have committed yourself to something and you expect others to do it…..but if you don’t do it don’t expect others to do so. You have the strength to live your life throughout the choices you make and be a successful student, teacher, son/daughter, dad/mom, but best of all YOURSELF. And just remember with every sunrise  come new opportunities.

Student success statement

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choice.”

--Albert A. Monapert

 

What I understand from this quote is that you won’t get anything good out of the bad things you do. Every action has its consequences and it will take more than enough to make you realize it. I’ll pray that you and everybody going through something like this realize soon that what you do is not always right! CTR!!!

 

How to take a college studying

Part3

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned. –

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.

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.
