So it doesn’t control you

Part 1

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·       Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·       Build study habits that are essential in college.

·       Prepare for your classes.

·       Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the method

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

Know where to begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t   have to face them at the end.

Study at the same time every day

Even If you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

Choose the right!!

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.

7 Habits of Highly Successful teens

Habit 6

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teen to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and father you’ll go. Synergize doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

                     CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

REFLECTION: This to me means that maybe a person needs people needs others to get inspired or get something done, and can help each-other, but alone one doesn't really have an idea or clue what to do how to get it done.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: a big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you need it. It’s not a bad thing to not understand. It’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: a big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you need it. It’s not a bad thing to not understand. It’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Ask for help it’s probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand go to the office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that it’s amazing to find! Good luck!
