Student Success Statement

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

~ Margaret Thatcher

To do the right thing can mean everything, it is important to realize that what you are doing may be the wrong thing. Recognize and analyze right from wrong and question yourself "why is it wrong?" Although sometimes times get rough and you may not know what to do, if you want to go through the high road to success and satisfaction you must pass all the difficult things and avoid the wrong to reach that. Now, in order to accomplish this you need the discipline; you need to teach yourself and others what to do—when they don’t know what they should do and they are under difficult times, under pressure, right from wrong? Teach and be taught—discipline yourself and reach the your goals. 

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 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 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 skills  should always be your top priority.  MacGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments . . . or no studying enough for test because of work, its time to cut back or quit and find a less-timing consuming job.”

Student Success Statement

I think this quote means that the actions you do or say will determine what kind of person are you. What you do defines you and vice versa, what you do is who you are; what you are is what you do. Basically, what this is saying is that, everything you do will shape who you are. If you are always making jokes, then you are the class clown a goofy person. So, if you want to be a good person and show others, then do good things. If you want to do wrong, then be bad person like cheat and lie. But you should do the right thing and show who you are!

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

~ Thomas A. Edison

Balancing High School Part-Time Part 2

Voicing you 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:

v  

Am I am organize person ?

v  What kind of study habits do I have?

v  Do I make a good use of my available time ?

v  Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part time job?

     Think about the pros and the 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 times you have for sleeping, studying, and socializing.

Grandparents locked girl in bathroom for 6 years.

This is such a horrible and tragic thing for anyone to experience. How can these people do such a mean thing to their own little granddaughter? This little girl being locked in a restroom for 6 years! That is crazy. Most people could barely go 1 hour in a room doing nothing, but imagine 6 years and only being able to come out for school. Imagine when they girl had to go to school she was probably very happy she was out of the restroom. The little girl deserved to be free, to play and have fun not to be locked her in the restroom the whole day. This just shows that her grandparents are very mean and irresponsible people and deserve to be charged for first degree felony in prison for 10 years.

Like many high school students, you may want – or need- to work part time. Working takes a lot of time & energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work & 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 figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.
Schedule a meeting with your counselor to discuss the ideas of working, Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you are seeking.
