Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make dessisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge wherther you can do both—work and study—successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself.

n Am I organized person?

n What kind of study habits do I have?

n Do I make good use of my available time?

n Will be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time work?

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.

Most people might had have severe punishments, but sometimes it can be cruel. The grandparents of a young girl kept their 3-year-old daughter in captivity for an amount of six years!The grandparent wouldn't let the girl go anywhere else but school. And when the girl comes bavk frome school she goes straight to the bathroom again. To beleive that their grandparents would do something like this, to keep a 3-year-old girl locked up until she turned nine, that is just brutal and sad. The girl's grandparents recieved a penalty due to  this incident, 15 years in prison, 10 years for keeping her captive and 5 years for kidnaping. This is just very horrible that no young child shoul be treated like this!

Like many high school students you may—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 a part 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 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 help 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.

Reflection:

What this statement probably means is that whenever it is the
 time to decide the best thing to choose is the right thing. In other words
, if it come to decide where to go then choose the one that involves
 doing what's right. For example, if you want to go to college the first
 thing you want to
 decide is what do you want to be when you
 get out of college.

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good 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 high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research constantly shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher ion an AP Exam would 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.

Reflection:

What this statement probably means is that the worst thing to run away from is on doing what is right. In other words, the worst thing to be a coward of is knowing what is right ,but not doing what's right. For example, you see someone getting picked on by a bully when you know you can stop it by telling a teacher what the bully is doing, but because you are afraid that the bully might harm you if you told someone instead of telling someone,you run away.

Social Studies

You can better understand local and world events that are happening now by studying the culture and history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:

o   U.S history (two semesters)

o   U.S government (one semester)

o   World history or geography (one semester)

o   One additional semester in the above or the other areas

Foreign Languages

Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the beat way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that you have to be brave enough to be honest to someone even though you feel like you can solve the situation in another way. In other words, if you are brave enough to be honest ,then your doing the right thing. For example, if someone asked you if they can borrow a pencil, but you don't have any other then the one you're using the best thing to do is be honest and say "Sorry, I don't have any and I need the one I'm using."

Science

Science teaches you to think analytically and apply theories to reality. Colleges want to see that you've taken at least three years of laboratory science classes. A good combination includes two semesters of each of the following sciences:

·       Biology

·       Chemistry or physics

·       Earth/space science

More competitive schools expect you to take four years of lab science courses. You can add two of the following subjects:

·       Chemistry or physics (the science you didn't already study)

·       Advanced biology

·       Advanced  chemistry

·       Advanced physics

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But every mind there openeth,

A way, and a way, away.

And the low soul gropes the low,

And in between on the misty flats,

The rest drift to 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 another West,

'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.

For example, if you don't have a goal then you are going to be far behind others and have no career.

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 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 group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepening your 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 people 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 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’s question. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand 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 ensures that everyone attends.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group 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 brings different strengths, such as organized skill, the ability to stick to a task or capacity for memorization.

Cover more around Group members may 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 work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you need to spend more time studying! CHOOSE THE

CHOOSING A CAREER

               CHOOSING A CAREER

Career management describes the active and purposeful management of a career by an individual. Career management is often seen as being underpinned by a series of attributes, abilities and skills which are usually described as career management skills. The Blueprint model of career management skills (in US, Canada, Australia, Scotland and ENGLAND is an attempt to describe what career management skills comprise of. Another career management framework is the Seven C's of Digital Career Literacy that sets out career management skills specifically relating to the online context.
A key aspect of career management is the ability to research opportunities and then to make career choices. Another is the ability to reflect on their current career and on labour market opportunities and then to make career changes.

Career choice

According to Behling and others, an individuals decision to join a firm may depend on any of the three factors viz. objective factor, subjective factor and critical contact.

• Objective factor theory assumes that the applicants are rational. The choice, therefore, is exercised after an objective assessment of the tangible benefits of the job. The factors helping him choose may be the salary, other benefits, location, opportunities for career advancement etc.

• Subjective factor theory suggests that decision making is dominated by social and psychological factors. The status of the job, reputation of the organization and other similar factors plays an important role.

• Critical contact theory advances the idea that a candidate's observerations during his interaction with the organization plays a vital role in decision making. For example how the recruiter keeps in touch with the candidate, the promptness of response and similar factors are important. This theory is more valid with experienced professionals.

These theories assume that candidates have a free choice of employers and careers. In reality the scarcity of jobs and strong competition for desirable jobs severely skews the decision making process. In many markets employees work particular careers simply because they were forced to accept whatever work was available to them.
