Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

Brad MacGoawn, 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.”

Balancing High School and Part – Time Work

Part 2

 

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priories. 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.

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.

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

Many colleges require or recommend the one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their artistic abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

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 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 elf-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.

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)

·         World history or geography (one semester)

Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond basic. 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.

Part 4

 

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group 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 own knowledge.

·         Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understand 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 high level, one who 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.

The Power of Study Groups


Part 1

 

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 has out lesson materials together – explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.
