Student Success Statement

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.

- Margret Thatcher

Reflection:

What they mean is that showing yourself to understand the things about the right and wrongs is a good and important thing because you are teaching yourself to be a better person from what you are and that you can take anything and understand anything. It is also trying to say that even though it’s hard to do that well it helps you in life later on and builds up your self-esteem and pride and helps you become a better person.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

Brad MacGowan, 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 responsibility. “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

School work, 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 quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

“What you are will show in what you do.”

-Thomas A. Edison

Reflection:

What I think that he is trying to say is that all the actions that you make express the kind of person that you are. So if a person is bad and they show it by fighting with people, hitting people, or saying mean things to people, well it shows that they are a mean person for the actions they are doing. So if someone is a nice person and they show it by volunteering, helping people with advice, and being generous, well then it shows that they are a nice person because of the good deeds that they do. 

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part2

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make decision and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both – work and study – s 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 me 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, handing money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

Grandparents locked girl in bathroom  for six years

Summary:

What I have just heard about these awful grandparents is just appalling, like why would they do something like that. I think that they should have been stayed locked up for their entire life time because this is just not right. Poor little girl is probably traumatized from this awful experience I think that they should not even be allowed to have grandchildren. But my question here is how about the other people that knew, why did they just ignore the little girl, little kids may lie but still you have to listen to them. 

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 part on a part-time job. Its 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.

Choose the Right!!!

Reflection:

What I think that they are trying to say is that if you see something that is not right then why are you going to do it if it’s not the right thing, you are just wasting your time, an if you hear something and you know it’s not true why are you going to go out and spread it even more if it’s a lie that’s how rumors start do you want to be a liar.
