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.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 1
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 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.

Success in AP can also help you in other ways. AP helps you

some of the most inspiring teachers in the world. Learn more about the AP

For More Help in Choosing Courses
Use College Search to look up a specific college’s academic
requirements to be sure you are on track to attend the college of your choice.
If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress
in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser.
There are many resources to help you with this process and with achieving your
personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of
directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for that
which you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals
often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and
continue working hard until you actually do reach your goals.

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.

Social Studies
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)
·
One additional semester in the above or other
areas
Foreign Languages
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.

The following subjects and classes are standards 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 advanced science and math in high school,
and show colleges 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 its own program, but some of the courses typically offered
are:
·
Algebra 1
·
Algebra II

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.

How to Take on College Studying
Part 3
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 material 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.
