Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 3
Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 3
Brad MacGowan, of
the Career Center at Newtown North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that working
can be a valuable part of a student’s life if taken care of 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:
v Am I an organized person?
v What kind of study habits do I have?
v Do I make good use of my available time?
v Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively
if I take on apart-time job?
Think about the
pros and cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about a
commitment, time management and responsibility—and, of course, handing 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—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.

with this process and with achieving your personal, college and career goals.
Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose,

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

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

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.

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

To create

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.

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!

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:
Think out
loud.
Share idea.
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.

understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:
· Don’t skim. Read all the material
carefully.
· Break up difficult assignments into
sections you can digest—chapters, subsections, or even paragraphs.
· Look up any words that you don’t
understand.
· Pause to think about whether you
understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.
· Take notes instead of highlighting—this
makes you think through and rephrase the key points.
. Create A Summary sheet of what you
learned from each assignment you read.
