Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High shoal in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a student’s life. If taken on responsibility. “You can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money,” he says. “In most cases, you can acquire a nice doe 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 test, should always be your priority. MacGowan caution students who do decide to work, “if you are rushing through you assignment… or not studying enough for test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and fine a less time—consuming  job.”

Voicing your goal 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:

·         Am I an organized person?

·         What kind of study habits do I have?

·         Do I make good use of my available time?

·        Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility- and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

Part 1

Like many high school student, 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 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 job you would like.

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 requirement to be sure you are on the right 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, teachers or adviser. There are many  recourses 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 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.

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standards test. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarity, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often 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 talent and extraordinary in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their artistic ability to take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced Placement Programs (AP)

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 3.0or 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 pursuit, and you will reap the benefits of self –fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenges and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountains peaks of achievements.

Social studies

 You can better understand local and world events that are happening now by studying the culture and the history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:

·       U.S. History (two semesters)

·       U.S. Government (one semester)

·       World history and geography (one semester)

·       One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign language

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. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

‘Tis the set of the sail

Ella wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to ever mind there openeth,

A way, and a way, and away.

A high soul climbs the highway,

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 others west,

By the self-same winds that blow,

‘Tis the set of the 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 the soul,

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.
