Balancing High School & Part-Time Work

Part 5

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·       Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with the support.

·       Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.  

·       Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·       Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·       If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your school work with you so you can work along the way.

·       Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitment.

·       If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·       Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some down downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Balancing High School & Part-time Work

Part 4

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “For example, student’s actors should allow the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student’s athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”

Selecting Your Courses

Part 2

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four-year or two-year College.

English (Language Arts)

Take English every year. Traditional courses, such as American and English literature, help you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Math

You need algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance exams and in college math classes—and in many careers. Take them early on. That way, you’ll be able to enroll in advanced science and math in high school, and show college’s you’re ready for higher-level work.

Most colleges look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The competitive ones require or recommend four years. Each school has its own program, but some of the courses typically offered are:

·       Algebra I

·       Algebra II

·       Geometry

·       Trigonometry

·       Calculus

tis the set of the sail

Tis the set of the sail

Ella wheeler Wilcox 1916

But and  every mind there openth, away, and away, 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 and fro.

But every man there openth, a high and a low, and every mind decideth, the way his soul shall go.

One ship sails east, and another west, by the self-same winds that blow, “tis the set of the sails and not the gales, that tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea are 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.

Reflection: this reflection was about whoever does not have a goal. Is not likely to go really far in life. That’s why everybody should have their own personal goals.
