Balancing High School and Part-Tim Work

    Part 3

Brad MacGowan, of the career center at newton north high school in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a 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 dose of discipline and whole new set of skills and experience.” In addition, your superior may be willing to write a strong college recommendation for you.

School Comes First

Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing thought your assignment… or not studying enough for test because of work, its 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 answer these questions:

·       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.

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The art 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 arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music, and drama. Many students should look within their own repertoire of talent and identify abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced placement programs (AP)

To be sure you are ready to take on college-level works, 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 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.

Tis the set of the sail

                Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916
But to every 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 everyone man there openeth,
A high way and a low,
And every mind decideth,
The way is soul shall go.

One 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 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 claim or the strife.

The academic rigor of your high school course is an important factor in the college admission process. college admission officers see your high school course 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 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  firm grasp of the fundamental before going on to more advanced work.

The power of study groups

      Part 4

Getting the most out of a session

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

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

·       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 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 high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong traits of life, then those people are no 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 exiting 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, its easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem 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 understand the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as 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 help the group focus. If you know 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 ensure 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 note-taking. If you AP biology notes are unclear you scan 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 mortises 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 member’s, 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!

    What this successful statement is saying is if we don’t have a goal in life we won’t get far and won’t get what we expect it. You have to set yourself a goal to be able to success in life for example if you want to open up a skate shop you have certain things to do. Just like football if you score a goal you would win because you set yourself and your teammates a goal for victory.  

The power of study groups

Working together helps everyone

You may have notice 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:

·       Think out loud

·       Share ideas.

·       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 persons answer differs from another’s- and in the process, you mostly likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.
