Balancing High School and Part-Time Occupations or Jobs 2

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make a decision and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both-work and study-successfully. To help answer thisquestion, 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 my schedule effectively 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.

The Art

Research indicates that students who participate in the art often do better in school and on standardized tests. The art help you recognize patterns, 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 semester in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talent and extraordinary abilities in the art. 

Student 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 to take on college-level work; enroll in the most challenging courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research consistently  show that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP exam typically experience greater academic success and college graduation rates than student who don’t take AP.

The academic rigor of your high school courses in 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 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 reinfoce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex conpect, and maybe even make a few new friends. reemember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who push you to try a little harder and be a little better. if someone pulls you doen the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends,(they are actually your enemies), and you must aviod them at all cost. whoever said learning can’t be fun? learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Guidelines for getting a group together

Here are some guidelines for creating and 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 groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher questions. Include someone who understands the matter 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 a 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.

The benefits of study groups

Groups study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to:  reinforce note-taking. If your AP biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person bright 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 problem together that none would have solved alone.

Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s works affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give and take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying.

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 even paragraphs.

·         Look up any word 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 make you think through and rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
