Balancing high school and part-time work

Part 3

Brad McGowan 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 skill 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 main priority. McGowan 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.”

Selecting your courses

For more help in choosing courses

Use college search to look up in specific colleges 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.

-THOMAS CARLYLE

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GOAL, YOU WONT LIVE FOR ANYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO FOLLOW .

FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU SOMEONE WANNA BE A DOCTOR HE'LL WORK HARD TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, AND IF SOMEONE DOESN'T WANNA DO ANYTHING, HE WONT DO ANYTHING WITH HIS LIFE.

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.

·         Takes 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.

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.
