Part 2

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and
figure out your priorities. 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 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 the time you have for sleeping, studying and
socializing.

I think that the parent should be jail for a long time at least until the girl turn 18 so she can be independent and leave where ever she want’s. Nobody can punish somebody like that for years just because they want.

Like many high school students, you 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 configure out what choices 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 Art

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

Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the
arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama.

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 on to college-level work, enroll in the
most challenging courses. Research consistently shows that students who score
3.0 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academics
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 self-fulfillment and jobs satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to
“get by” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and
reach higher mountain peak of achievement.

 ‘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 sail east,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
‘Tis te 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 calm or the strife.

the academic rigor of your high school course 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 fundamental before going on to more
advanced work.

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 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 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.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantage in addition to gaining a deeper
understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to:
Reinforce note-taking. If AP  Biology notes are unclear, you
con ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps.
Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as
organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for
memorization.

Cover more ground Group members may be able to solve a calculus
problems together that that none would have solved alone.
Benefits from a support system. Members often have  common goals,
such as good grades.  Each person’s work affects the other members,
which results in making members  supportive of one another.
Socialize. It’s more fun to study with other; the give-and –take
makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend
more time studying!
