Part 3

Brad McGowan of the career center at newton high school in Massachusetts thinks that working can be valuable part of student’s life if taken responsibly. “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 addition, 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—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 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.

The Arts

Researchers indicate that student s 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 recommend one or two semesters in the art. Good choices include 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 Advance 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 a AP Exam typically experience greater academic success and college graduation rates that 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 difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement

Tis THE SET OF THE SAIL

Tis THE SET OF THE SAIL
Ella wheeler wilcox 1916
But ti every mind openenth,
a way, and away, and a way
a high soul climbs the highway,
 a low soul gropes the low,                                                
and inbetween on the misty flats
the rest to drift to and fro
but to every man there openeth
a high way and low way
and every mind decideth
the way his shall goone ship sails east,
and another 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 wind of the sea
are the waves of time
as we journey along through life,
'tis the set of the souls,
that determines the goal
and not the calm or strife

Part 1

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school courses 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 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.

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 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.

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.

. Don’t skim. Read all the materials carefully
. Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest- chapters, subsections or even paragraphs
. look up any word 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 from each assignment you read.
