it's online but is it on target part 1

It’s online but is it on target?
                                    Part 1
Using the web wisely
Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust. Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way-they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable  sources from an unreliable one? Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

5 tips for staying motivated

 5 tips for staying motivated
To succeed in high school and college, you have to do best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivate.
1.                       Focus on high-impact activities
The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your own workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.
To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.
2.                       Create new challenges
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year

balancing high school and part-time work part 3

Balancing high school and part-time work
                                    Part 3
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.”

the power of study groups part 3


The power of study groups


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.

7 habits of highlt effective teens habit 4

     7 habits of highly effective teens
                         Habit 4
4. Think win-win
Teens can learn to foster the belief that is impossible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking win-win is the good feelings it brings on. The truth test of whether or not you are thinking win-win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud your adjustment and fill you will negative feelings.
Win-win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light.

7 habits of highly successful teens habit 1

   7 habits of highly successful teens
                        Habit 1
Habit 1: be proactive.
Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsibility for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captains of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Be proactive and take the interactive.
