“Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”

Reflection: In life you are always going to have right and important things that are going to be difficult to accomplish. But if you work hard and you use your brain you’ll accomplish it even though it was hard to accomplish it. Never give up in life that’s the worst thing you could do in your life to give up without accomplishing your goals. All ways go to the right track.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

Brad McGowan of the Career Center at Newtown North High School in Massachusetts thinks that working can be valuable part of a student’s 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 write a strong college recommendation for you. School comes first.

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

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.

Like many high school students, you may want—or need—to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Consideration

You have the weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take on a part-time job. It’s important to get such as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.

Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

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 do reach your goals.

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside 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 artistic abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced Placement Program (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 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 benefits of self-fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get buy,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievements

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 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.

Science

Science teaches you to think analytically and apply theories to reality. Colleges want you to see that you’ve taken at least three years of laboratory science classes. A good combination includes two semester of each of the following science:

·        Biology

·        Chemistry or Physics

·        Earth/Space Science

More competitive schools expect you to take four years of lab science courses. You can add two semesters in one of the following subjects:

·        Chemistry or physics (the science you didn’t already study)

·        Advanced Biology

·        Advanced Chemistry

·        Advanced Physics

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 session, 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 your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen you 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 litter 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.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to 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 a classmate who seems to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it was 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 not-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 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 than one would have solved alone.

Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work effects the other members, which results in making 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!

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have to 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:

ü Think out loud.

ü Share ideas.

ü Learn From one another.

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials 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 would have studying by yourself.
