Balancing High School and Part-Time work

Part 5

Additional tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·      Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·      Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately

·      Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·      Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·      If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·      Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·      If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·      Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “for example, student actors should allow for the fact that they wont have as much time during performance seasons. Students athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”

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

Margaret Thatcher

Well I agree because what you do affects what you are going to be doing once you are an adult that will be dealing with a lot of difficult choices. Also you know what choices you have to make in order to make good things happen.

An example can be when I had to decide whether or not to go to school on time or go be a cool guy and smoke with the homies.

Part 3

Brad Macgowen, of the career center at Newton north high school in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a students 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 come first

School work, 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 a test because of work, its time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

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 often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and 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

Well I don’t know what he means but I think it means that if you are deciding weather to go out and party or stay home and study for a big test that counts for 100 percent of your grade, I mean me personally I would go and party but at this moment for those who want to succeed they will go with studying all night long and get good grades because they chose the right path to study not party.

One example can be when I had to choose to stay after school and study for the CAHSEE exam test or go home and do nothing and choose the wrong, and what did I choose to do is go home and do nothing but be up to no good.
