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 Consideration

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, 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.

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 languages study shows college you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting.

Repetition with others speaking the same languages 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 openeth

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 shall 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 clam or the strife.

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school course schedule as a blueprint of your education.

They’re looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college.

To create that foundation, take at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basics and then move on to advanced courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun; but you need a firm grasp of the fundamentals before going on to more advanced work.

The Power of Study Groups Part 4 Getting the Most Out of a Session

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 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 harder and be a litter 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 Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating a 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 group can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest I’m 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 concept 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 that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to 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 session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensure that everyone attends.

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand if 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 load.

·         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.
