“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

Reflection:

It don’t matter if it’s difficult when you choose the right but it’s important. It you know something is right don’t think about it just do it. You always make sure to choose the right throughout your life. It might be difficult to choose the right but your going to be doing the right thing don’t do what others tell you to do you make your own decisions.

Brad MacGowan, of the career center at Newtown north high school in Massachusetts, Think that 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 will require 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 test, 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 test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

                             Part 2

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 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.

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 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 choices 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 pf position you’re seeking.

Refection:

If you know that what your going to do is wrong why even try you will just get consequences for it. When you choose the wrong your life is not going to be so easy. If something is not true don’t invent things to look cool you are just harming yourself. Why make your life difficult if we should all enjoy life.

Solid foreign language study shows colleges 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 challenging but it’s 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.

'Tis the set of the sail

 ‘Tis the set of the sail

                Ella wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to every mind there openth,                                        a way, and a way, and away,

A high soul climbs the highway,

And the low soul gropes the low,

And in between on the misty flats,

The rest drift to and fro

But to every man there openeth,

A high way and a low,

And every mind decideth,

The way his soul should go.

One ship sails east

 And another west,

By the self-same winds that blow,

‘Tis the set of the sails

And not the gales,

That tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life,

‘Tis the set of the soul,

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

The wind is going to blow it away anywhere the wind takes it. For example if you want to go to college but you didn’t set  goals you will have a difficult time to start college.

Getting the most out of a session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study sessions:

. Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

. Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of you time together.

. Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

. Stick to the sessions

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 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 you 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 the room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for more than two or 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 materials. These include the opportunities 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 sick 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 result 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 materials 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.
