School comes first

Schoolwork. Including homework and studying for test, should always be your top priority. Magown caution who do decide to work, “if you are rushing through your assignment … or not studying enough for test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming.”

Voicing your goals to someone else can help your judge whether decisions and figure out you 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 I have?

·       Do I make good use of my available time?

·       Will I be able to 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 responsitbity-and, of course, handing money. On the minutes side,

A job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing

Like many high school students, may want-or need – to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, so before getting a job, make sure that you’re about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important considerations

You have to weight 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 you wants to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

                Selecting Your Courses Part 2

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school 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 advance science and math in high school, and show college 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

Tis the set of the sail

Ella wheeler Wilcox 1916

But every mind there openth,

A way, and a way, and way.

A high soul climbs the highway,

And the low soul gropes the low,

The rest drift to and fro.

Bit to every man there ppenth,

A high way and a low,

And every mind decideth,

The way his soul shall go.

One ship sails east,

And another west,

By the self-same winds that blow,

Tis the set of sails

And not the gales,

That tells the way we go.

Like winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey  along through life,

‘Tis the set of the soul,

That deterrmens the goals

And not the calm or the strife.

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.

Part 3

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapter you are assigned-you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·        Doesn’t skin read all the material carefully.

·        Break up difficult assignment into section you digest-chapter, subsection or even paragraphs.

·        Loop up any words that you don’t understand.

·        Pause to think about whether you understand material; ask questions in class about anything that unclear.

·        Take notes instead of highlighting-this makes you thick through and rephrases the key points.

·        Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
