“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.

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.”

“What you are will show in what you do.”
               Thomas A. Edison
Reflection:
If you are nice it will show that you always do the right thing. It you are a bad person it shows that you like choosing the wrong. And if you choose the right you will get rewarded for it. It you choose the wrong you will have consequences for it.

                             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.

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.

“If it not right, do not do it: if it is not true, do not say it.”
                         Marcus Aurelius
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.
