Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Discipline yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”

Margaret Thatcher

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that if we have discipline we know that we will get a certain consequence if we do the wrong thing. We need to do the right thing in order for us to become a better person.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

Brad McGowan 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 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 quiet and find a less time-consuming job.”

“What you are will show in what you do.”

Thomas A. Edison



Reflection

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to try and do a better job than they already do because that shows that they really do care. If someone actually tries to do a good job, then they can be sure that they will be doing the best and get the best score because they actually tried.

Grandparents Locked Girl in Bathroom for 6 years

Grandparents Locked Girl in Bathroom for 6 years

I think that what the grandparents make horrible decisions because they don’t think things through. They decided to lock up their granddaughter in their bathroom for 6 years. They didn't think about the consequences they just decided that they would lock her up and forget all about her. She would go to school every single day and come back just to get locked up in the bathroom. She lived like that for 6 years until they finally caught them and got sent to jail. They didn't even take in consideration that that little girl was their granddaughter. People like that are people that don’t think because they didn't even think about what could have happened

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 important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choices 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.

Student Success Statement

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”
Marcus Aurelius Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

This statement is saying that you shouldn’t say or do anything bad. Always say and do what is right. If you say and do what is right you will stay out of trouble. It is important to say and do what is right because then people will begin to trust you more

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 counselor, teacher or advisor. There are many resources to help you with the process and with achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of direction. 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.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to do the right thing even when they are under a lot of pressure. Sometimes people don’t know what to do when they have to make the decision right in the moment, but either way you need to do the right thing

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 arts, 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 class to develop their talents.

Advanced Placement ProgramÒ (APÒ)

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"
comfyucius
 
Reflection:
I think that this statement is trying to say that people should always do the right thing. When people have the chance to do the right thing and they don’t that is because they are scared to be a good person. Always do the right so that you don’t have to suffer that negative consequences.

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:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->Ø <!--[endif]-->U.S. history (two semesters)

<!--[if !supportLists]-->Ø <!--[endif]-->U.S. government (one semester)

<!--[if !supportLists]-->Ø <!--[endif]-->World history or geography (one semester)

<!--[if !supportLists]-->Ø <!--[endif]-->One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign Languages

 Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basic. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more. Learning a foreign language can be challenging but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

man returns stolen cash to seattle washington sears 60 years later

i think this man
I think that the person that stole the money did the right thing in returning it. Sometimes people do the wrong thing at a certain time in their life and it is good that they try to make it better. Even though they shouldn't have done the wrong thing at first, they did and it is still good to try and make it better. People need to try and make things better even after they have let time pass for a long time.

tis the set of the sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

but tu every mind there openeth,
a way, and a wa, and away.
a high soul climbs the highway,
and the low soul gropes the low,
and in bettween on the misty flats,
the rest drift to and fro.
 
 
but to every man there openth,
a high way and a low,
and every mind decideth,
the way his soal shall go.
one ship sails east,
and onother west,
by the self same winds that blow,
tis the set of the sails
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 calmor the strife.

Recommended Classes for College Success

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 basic and then move on to advanced courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun; but you need to firm grasp of the fundamentals before going on to more advanced work. start with the basics and then move on to advance courses.
