Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High shoal in 

Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a 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 doe of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences. “In a

ddition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong college 

recommendation for you.

School comes first Schoolwork, including homework and studying for test, 

should always be your priority. MacGowan caution students who do decide to 

work, “if you are rushing through you assignment… or not studying enough for 

test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and fine a less time—

Balancing high-school and part-time work.
Part 1
Like many high school student, 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. It’s 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 counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of job you would like.

“In any moment of my decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: I think that Theodore Roosevelt has said a well thought Quote that everyone should think about. I agree with what Theodore said because it's always a good time to do something right. For example let's say you had a choice to make: Respect towards others OR Disrespect everyone.

Everyone knows that Respecting others is the right one but for some reason people still choose Disrespect because they fall to the idea that it would make them look "cooler" or "tougher". But the fact is that no one likes disrespect and eventually everyone won't care much about you, even those who thought you were "cool" or "tough" in the beginning. There is never a bad time to do what's right.

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 consistently 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.

“To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.”

-Confucius

Reflection: By definition cowardice means “lack of bravery “. The fact that people decide to do wrong even when they know what is right is a very poor quality of people. Therefore I agree with what Confucius has quoted because if you know what is right then do it. There is no need to change your mind and go for the bad decisions in life.

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 semester)

·        U.S. government (one semester)

·        World history or geometry  (one semester)

·        One additional semester in the above or the areas

Foreign languages study shows college 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 language, and having conversation 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 mate new languages

“Have the courage to say no. have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life integrity.”

                  -W. Clement Stone

Reflection: I agree with what Clement Stone is saying in this quote. Having the courage to say no is showing that you have the courage to make your own decisions and that you can take charge for yourself. If you can face the truth, even when it can be a horrible one, you will know that you have the power to see the truth and say the truth for yourself and others. Doing the right thing can help you rid of those burdens that carry you down every day. If you can rid of those mistakes you made, take a chance and fix them

the set of the soil

‘Tis the set of the sail

Ella wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to ever mind there openeth,

A way, and a way, and away.

A high soul climbs the highway,

And the low soul gropes the low,

 And in between on the misty flats,

The rest drift to and fro.

But to every man there openeth,

A high way and a low,

And every mind decideth,

The way his soul shall go.

One ship sails east,

And others west,

By the self-same winds that blow,

‘Tis the set of the sails

And not the gales,

That tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life,

‘tis the set of the soul,

That determines the goal, 
And not the calm or the strife.

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see you high school courses schedule as a blueprint of your education. There looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college. To create that foundation, take a least five 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 to firm grasp of the fundamentals before going on to more advanced work.

Getting more 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 advanced.

·       Prepare 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 individuals 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 q high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and to be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, them those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all coast. Whoever said learning can be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

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 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, which results in making 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 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:

ü  Think out loud.

ü  Share ideas

ü  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.

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

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

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