Balancing High School and a Part Time Occupation (Part 3)


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 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: Schoolwork, including homework and studying for test, 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 test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

Grandparents Locked Girl In Bathroom For Six Years

SUMMARY: we learned about a young innocent girl who got locked in her bathroom by her grandparents FOR NO ABSLOUTE REASON!!! if you Ask me i would say that i believe that was absord! it all started at the age of three. idk but if you ask me, i say that that is really really wrong and below the line. she didnt get saved until she told the school nurse, and the school nurse called the police and she was safe :)

REFLECTION: I personally do not think this is the right thing to do even if the girl did something wrong. but, do you think that children deserve something cruel like this if they did something wrong? at the age of THREE YEARS OLD!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!! >:)

Balancing And Part-Time Work (Part 1)


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 factor’s when deciding whether to take on a part-time job. It is 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.

Student Success Statement

"if it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it." -Marcus Aurelius

REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is true that if you are doing something wrong, or about to, DON'T DO IT!!! But if you are thinking about doing something that is correct and right, then go ahead and do it!!! Also, if you are about to say something that is like vulgar language or any other type of disgusting thing, DO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT SAY IT!!! Unless, it is something appropriate to say then say it! CTR!!!

Selecting Your Courses (Part 6)

if you have concerns about your class schedule or progress or 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 deliberatley, evaluate your goals often and make changes as neccessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working hard until you actually do reach your goals.
