Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 2

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.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

By Sean Covey but modified

Habit 1: Be proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility of her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement the achievements or their assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligation. Choosing to do what is write is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey the exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.
