Balancing High School and Part-Time 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 on 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 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 priority. MacGowan 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, quit, and find a less time-consuming job.”

Like many high school students, you may – or need – to work part time. Working take 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 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.

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, and 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 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 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.

Tyrants of Country to Abolish

Times have come where quotes from freedom fighters and past presidents grow in value and oblivion.

"If your not careful the newspaper will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."
                                          -Malcolm X

" A revolution is coming: a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough, compassionate if we care enough, successful if we are fortunate enough - but a revolution is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect it's character, we cannot alter it's inevitability."
                                           -John F. Kennedy

Many support Obama might take opposition but certainty shows us our right and freedoms are being squashed. Presidents swear under oath promising to uphold the constitution in it's utmost value. To protect and serve the people, I believe he is doing otherwise. We can no longer say our opinions, if we do our presence will visit the mortuary. Spokes people on the 911 case and foreign war crimes the U.S. commits have all been silenced. Three dictators in Europe during World War 2 came to power utilizing these methods. Taking freedoms, as Obama said it's for "homeland security". I say it's for their selfish desire. A new year has arrived many countries have fought against their tyrannical governments. Seeking freedom and emphasize we do the same.

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school source schedule as a blue print of your education. They’re looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college.

  To create the 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 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 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 literate person. 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 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 our lesson materials 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 would 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 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.
