Part 1

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 Considerations

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

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

Choose the right!

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 a traditional classroom setting.

Many colleges require or recommended 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 your ready to take on college-level work, such as honors or AP courses. Research constantly 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 by,”  instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Science

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

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

Summary:

This is something that rarely happens. But the guy did choose the wrong in the first place. I mean you steal something and get away with it. Wrong when you steal something it follows you for the rest of your life. But he’s returning the money and confessing he choose the wrong.

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 (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

   “A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

                            -Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Thomas Carlyle is that if people don’t have goals that are not going to be able to progress in life and they will sink like a ship. If a ship doesn’t have a rudder they are not going anywhere only where the air is taking the ship. For example if a person wants to be successful they will go to college and have a good job but if they don’t then are going to be having a bad job and probably go into drugs and alcohol.

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help you 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 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 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.
