Summary

Reflection:
This reflection is trying to say no matter how bad a child acts, they do not deserve to be locked up in a restroom or anywhere for 6 years. This type of punishment is not tolerated in any way. Children deserve freedom as well as if they do something bad they should get punished. But this type of punishment went to far. This could have put the girl in great danger. And nobody was their to help her out.

Balancing High School and Part- Time work

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 factors when deciding whether to take on a part- time job. It’s more 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.

Success in AP can also you in other ways. AP helps you stand out in the admission process and offers the opportunity to learn from some of the most inspiring teachers in the world. Learn more about the AP Program.

For More Help in Choosing Courses

Use College Search to look up a specific college’s academic requirements to be sure you are on track to attend the college of your choice.

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

The Arts

Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. God choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary abilities in the arts. 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 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 shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic 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 job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

“To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.”

Confucius

Reflection:

People who know what’s right and do it are just little cowards. When doing bad and knowing you are suppose to do good is just unacceptable. You are suppose to always do good whether you like it or not, unless you want to end up in jail, or killed.

'Til the Set of the Sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to every mind there openeth,

A way,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 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 sails East,

And the other West,

By the self-same winds that below,

'Tis the 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.

Selecting your Courses

Part 1

The academic rigor of your high school courses 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 fundamentals before going on to more advanced work.

The Power of Study Groups

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 a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen our 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 a litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those 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.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group for 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 teacher’s questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you do and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where? Hold study group sessions in 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 tie. 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 ensures that everyone attends.

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to be a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The small principle makes study groups useful. studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·         Think out loud

·         Share ideas

·         Learn from one another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together- explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s- and in the process, you mostly likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.
