Studen Success Statement (Margaret Thatcher)

                        Student Success Statement

“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

A British politician, the longest serving (1979-1990) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20^th century

I believe that Ms. Thatcher wanted to say if you’re choosing the wrong, you have to discipline yourself to choose the right. It will also make you grief to choose the right.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 3

Brad Macgown, 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 top priority. Macgowan 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.”

Student Success Statement (Thomas A. Edison)

        Student Success Statement

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

                                      Thomas A. Edison

I believe that Mr. Edison wanted to say that if you do something bad in front of the whole world that will show them that you always choose the wrong. And if you do something good in front of the whole world it will show that you are choosing the right.

Part 2

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 2

 

Voicing you goals to someone else can help make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you care to do both—work and study—successfully. To help answer this question yourself:

·       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 time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

3 year old girl locked up in bathroom for six years

Girl Locked In Bathroom for Six Years

A 3-year-old girl was locked up in a bathroom of a hotel. Her grandparents had locked her up in there with only a foldable cot and no pillows. The door was guarded by two dressers. The little girl was only let out to go to school and back.

 

I believe that those grandparents should be arrested for locking their own grand-daughter in the bathroom. They should be in jail for 15 years at least so that they can learn their punishment. They chose the wrong and this is an example of them choosing the wrong.

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 Consideration

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 to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

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 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 a 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 recognized patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

 

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.

Social Studies

You can better understand local and world events that are happening now by studying the culture and history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:

·       U.S. history (two semesters)

·       U.S. government (one semester)

·       One additional semester in the above or other areas

 

Foreign Languages

Solid foreign language study shows college you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

Science

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. A good combination includes two semesters of each of the following sciences:

·       Biology

·       Chemistry or physics

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 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 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 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 little 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

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 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 and that has room to spread out book 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 sessions 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 work affects the other members, 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.

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 out 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 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 you learned from each assignment you read.
