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 Consideration

You have to weight a number of factors when deciding whether to take a part-tome job. Its important to get as much information as possible.

English, math, foreign language, tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that is really all it is for math. It’s the same as chemistry; if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

Work Together Part 1

I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

Academic Success Part 2

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was to be good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the

 Test by simply review the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throught out high school, but I never really had to put forth much effort to get the results that I wanted to see in college howeve, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts My overall studying method: I do fall behind, I usually use the not in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do another students in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry , I do practice problems to help me understand what the materials means.
