"DISCIPLINING YOURSELF TO DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT AND IMPORTANT, ALTHOUGH DIFFICULT, IS THE HIGHROAD TO PRIDE, SELF-ESTEEM, AND PERSONAL SATISFACTION."                                       -MARGARET THATCHER

I FEEL THE STATEMENT IS TRUE BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO SAY NO TO THINGS YOU KNOW ARE NOT RIGHT. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IS TEMPTING YOU WHICH MAKES IT REAL HARD TO ALWAYS DO WHAT IS RIGHT. THEIR IS ALWAYS SOMETHING BAD BEING COMMITTED EVERY DAY BUT IT IS YOUR CHOICE IF YOU WANT TO COMMITTEE THEM.

FOR EXAMPLE IF A FRIEND TELLS YOU TO DITCH AND GO KICK IT WITH HIM AND SOME CUTE GIRLS. YOU WILL THINK TO YOURSELF WHY NOT I AM ALWAYS GOING TO SCHOOL BUT YOU KNOW IT IS THE WRONG THING TO DO BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE A TEST IN CLASS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT.

BRAD MAC GOWAN, OF THE CAREER CENTER AT NEWTON NORTH HIGH SCHOOL IN MASSACHUSETTS, THINKS THAT’S 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 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 FOR TESTS, SHOULD ALWAYS BE YOUR TOP PRIORITY. MAC GOVEN CAUTIOUS 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.”

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 YOU 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.

SUMMARY

I FEEL IF YOU LOCK UP A PERSON FOR SIX STRAIGHT YEARS IN A RESTROOM THEY DESERVE TO GET MORE THAN JAIL TIME. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE EXECUTED OR HANGED SPECIALLY DOING IT TO A 6 YEAR OLD GIRL. I FEEL THERE IS SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT DON'T BELONG BECAUSE THEY CAUSE TO MUCH PAIN AND VIOLENCE IN THE WORLD.



IF THEY WOULD HAVE TRIED TO LOCK ME UP THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A GOOD ASS KICKIN.

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. 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 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 ADVISER.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, CONTINUE WORKING HARD UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY DO REACH YOUR GOALS.

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 ON REPERTOIRE OF TALENTS AND IDENTIFY THEIR ARTISTIC ABILITIES AND TAKE ON 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 TAKE SHORTCUTS JUST TO “GET BY,” INSTEAD, TAKE CHALLENGING AND DIFFICULT ROADS (COURSES) AND REACH HIGHER MOUNTAIN PEAKS OF ACHIEVEMENT.

SCIENCE TEACHES YOU TO THINK ANALYTICALLY AND APPLY THEORIES TO REALITY. COLLEGES WANT TO SEE THAT YOU’VE TAKEN AT LEAST THREE YEARS OF LABORATORY SCIENCE CLASSES. AGOOD 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:

MATH

YOU NEED ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY TO SUCCEED ON COLLEGE ENTRNACE 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 IT OWN PROGRAM, BUT SOME OF THE COURSES TYPICALLY OFFERED ARE:

·         ALGEBRA 1

·         ALGEBRA 2

THE ACADEMIC RIGOR OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES 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 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.

GETTIG THE MOST OUT OF 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 TE MOST OF YOUR TIME TOGETHER.

·         TAKES 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 A HIGH LEVEL, ONE WHO PUSHES YOU TO TRY A LITTLE HARDER AND BE A LITTER BETTER. IF SOMEONE PULLS YOU DOWN THE WRONG TRIALS 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?

GUIDELINES FOR GETTING GROUPS 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 QUESTIONS. 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 THAT HAS ROOM TO SPREAD OUT BOOKS ND 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 ADVANAGES 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 TO STUDY WITH OTHER’S; 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 EXPLAINIG 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 I

IN AN EFFECTIVE STUDY GROUP, YOU AND OTHER STUDENTS HASH OUT LESSON MATERIALS TOGETHER-EXPLAINING CONCEPTS, ARGUING ABOUT THEM, FIGURING OUT WHY ONE PERSON’S ANSWER DIFFER FROM ANOTHERS-AND IN THE PROCESS, YOU MOST LIKELY LEARN MORE THAN YOU WOULD HAVE STUDYING BY YOURSELF.

HOW TO TAKE ON COLLEGE STUDYING PART 3

DO THE READING 
YOU NEED TO DO MORE THAN JUST READ THE CHAPTERS YOU ARE ASSIGNED--YOUR 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.
