Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

Brad McGowan, of the career center at Newton 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.

Schoolwork, including homework and studying forests, 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.”

“What you are will show in what you do.”

Reflection:

Isn’t that right? Well obviously! If you’re doing something without wanting to do it you’re most likely going to do a bad job, but if you’re gone do something you wanna do then you’re going to do it right. It all depends on the mood you’re in.

Reflection:

I think that the grandparents did this to their granddaughter because she deserved it. I don’t think anyone could lock someone up in the restroom for 6 years for no reason.

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 a 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 position you’re seeking.

Success in AP can also help you in other ways. AP helps you stand out in the admission process and offers the opportunity to learn from some of the most inspiring teachers in the world. Learn more about the AP Program.

For More Help in Choosing Courses

Use college search to look up a specific college’s academic requirements to be sure you are on track to attend the college of your choice.

If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or advisor. 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.

Reflection: Well Mr. Roosevelt means that when you decide on something one and best choice is to always do what’s right. You don’t need to do the one that’s cooler if it’s not right because then you’re just cheating yourself of something magical something that you can’t do on your own. Just always choose the right thing and you will go far.

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 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 make shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

·         Earth/space science
More competitive schools expect you to take four year sof 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

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high schools 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 I

·       Algebra II

·       Geometry

·       Trigonometry

·       Calculus

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 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 question. Include someone who understands 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 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 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 members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun too study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

How to take on college studying

Part 3

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 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 you learned from each assignment you read.
