Selecting your courses

Part 5

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardize 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

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 short cuts just  to “get by”, instead, take a challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

Choose the right!!!!!!

Well this guy must have felt so guilty because this happened 60 years ago and barely today this guy decides to bring that money back with interest

This random guy does choose the right because after 60 years the guy is kind  enough to return the money back to its owner.

  

 

  

Selecting your courses

Part 2

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four year or two year college.

English (language Arts)

Take English every year. Traditional courses such as American and English literature, help you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Math

You need algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance exams and in college math classes and in many careers. Take them early on. That way, you’ll be able to enroll in advanced science and in math in high school, and show colleges you’re ready for higher-level work.

Most colleges look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The more competitive ones require or recommend four years. Each school has its own program, but some of the courses typically offered are:

·      Algebra 1

·      Algebra 2

·      Geometry

·      Trigonometry

·      Calculus

‘Tis the set of the sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But every mind there openeth,

A way and a way away,

A high soul climbs the high way,

And the low soul gropes 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

One ship sails east,

And another west,

By the self-same winds that blow,

‘Tis the set of 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 soul,

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

 

The power of study groups

Part 2

The benefits of study 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 organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or capacity for memorization.

Come more ground. Group members may be 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 persons work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one and other. Socialize. Its more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because its more fun, you spend more time studying!!!!

Walk the talk

This video made me feel good about myself it relief me about all the stress people have been putting on me and the song relaxes me it keeps me calm and not thinking about bad stuff. Also this makes me realize what I have been going through these past couple of years.

 

Student success statement

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

Albert A. Montapert

Well I agree with this guy because whatever I choose to do and the choices I make when I am about to do those things all made me realize that I could never go back and fix those mistakes and it sucks because the more I think about it the more it hurts me not to tell anyone what I have done and I haven’t even tried to go back and fix those wrongdoings.
