"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although diffficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem and personal satisfaction.
Margaret Thatcher
What this statement is talking about is that if your doing something right you don't have to disciplined yourself because your not doing nothing bad, but if you do something bad you might as well disciplined yourself for what you've done. For example if your taking a test in English calss and you don't know any anser from the questions and you just want to copy then you have to disciplined yourself cause your choosing the wrong, but if you don't copy then your ok that you dont have to disciplined yourself.

Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a 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 tests, should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments… or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

Voicing your 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:

Ø Am I an organized person?

Ø What kind of study habits do I have?

Ø Do I make good use of any available time?

Ø Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if 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.

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 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.

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 reach your goals.

'Tis the Set of the Sail

'Tis the Set of the Sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to every mind there openeth,

A way, and a way, and a way.

A high soul climbs the highway,

And the low soul of groupes 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.

 

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.

 

On ship sails East,

And another West,

By the self-same winds that blow,

'Tis the set o 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.

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in 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.

Getting the Most out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

Ø      Decide what you’re going to do in advance

Ø      Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

Ø      Take turns teaching, to reinforce your knowledge.

Ø      Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen 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 achieve on 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 larger group, it’s for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmate 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 questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you 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 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 in 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 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 same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

Ø Think out loud.

Ø Share ideas.

Ø 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 most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

Ø Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

Ø Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

Ø Look up any words that you don’t understand.

Ø Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

Ø Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

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