I believe it would be smarter to keep your General Ed going after high school because it is all still new and you’ve learned it recently which would better your chances in passing college exams and classes. Areas of General Ed I am most interested in are History and Science. Projects in those subjects are always fun and interesting. Although it can be fun, it is most important to get your work done. The best thing to do is finish all of the work before the deadline and then make the lesson you are teaching fun. I am always focused on completing my work and having it done by the deadlines and no later than the deadlines. I am also really good at respecting my teachers while not interrupting their lessons or disrespecting them. If you expect

During school, my goals is to get good grades and go to high school, because by the time you go to high school they're gonna tell you about life. I just wanted to learn stuff and work hard because I can help my family out, or get a job, but I'm really gonna miss going back to school because all your friend is gonna be there, and you won't remember what you learn or what you did during school time.
We are contently preoccupied with high school during our four years there, however modern Investigation establishes that high school does not dictate our post-secondary life.
“Balancing school and work has never been hard for me, Chance said. “I was a straight A student, had a straight and I had a consistent work schedule. School, work, homework, and studying getting home around 1:00 a.m. everyday”. Chanetris Chance, was on the deans list all throughout her time here at Florida A&M University.
“You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that's the one thing people can't take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment” (Michelle Obama). College is a necessity in order to succeed in life, and while many may believe you can do just as well without a degree, you just don’t have the same potential for growth in the long run.
One of the recent challenges I faced was the move my family had to make in the middle of my 9th grade year due to my father's job transfer from Auburn, Alabama to Birmingham. This move created trials for me emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Leaving behind friends and a familiar environment to enter the unknown among a group of strangers was stressful. As a 9th grader in Auburn, I was still in Junior High whereas at Spain Park 9th grade is high school. I left the comfort and security of being an upperclassman and instantly became a lowly freshman. In addition, I had been a starting middle linebacker on my football team since 7th grade. I would now be playing football with a group of guys I didn’t know, unsure if there would be a position for me on
Teenagers love spending money, as they grow older they have more financial needs that their parents may not be able to support. When they are faced with this obstacle they revert to getting a job. The U.S. Census released a report that found about 1 in 4 high school students have jobs. That means about 3.1 million students age 16 and older are working nationwide. There are many benefits and disadvantages by working and going to school full time. Although teenagers have good reasons for working while in high school, but some effects may be unfavorable, such as treating your education, sleep reduction, and missing out on a high school experience.
Working through school is tough and all my high school teachers, orientation leaders and SAT study guides failed to mention that. I honestly have got all my financial skills from my mom and Dave Ramsey, my mom she is great, but all her fingers have turned to rust from pinching pennies. I think holding on to them so tight is her version of a stress ball. Ever since, I was about ten my mom made my sister and I begin to save money, and now her teachings have paid off. I am 19 have a retirement fund—its quite sad but better than nothing—and an emergency fund. I am not saying this to brag but to say how her teachings have helped.
I think that it is inconvenient for adolescent to work while attending high school. Although the really is that many adolescents are obtaining part time employment while in high school. According Santrock (2014) “It is estimated that 80 to 90 percent of adolescents are employed at some point during high school” (p.387). I do agree that there are some potentially positive influences. Some of the advantageous that a working adolescent may experience are the development of autonomy, social learning, and intergenerational harmony and contribute to the continuity between adolescence and adulthood (Greenberger & Steinberg, 1981. p.691).
There will be so many new opportunities after I graduate! Having a high school diploma I could get a job faster, easier, and it will probably still be a pretty decent paying job. After I graduate I could also take up the chance and time I will have spare, to go to college for a few years. I could go to school for business management and open up my own business and try to expand if I’m doing well.
Do working college students typically do better or worse in school? This question is one that hits home for me because I am a working college student. I have been a working college student for my entire college career, and the question is one that interests me. Do students who do not have to worry about outside stress, time management skills, and whether to sleep or do another assignment, do better than those who do have to worry about all of these things? This is my question to society, and to anyone who can give me a logical answer. My initial thought would be that students who do not work and live close to campus, would do better in their classes because they have more time to solely focus on their studies, whereas a working student, who has to commute, does not. From personal experience, there have been many nights that I have had school, then work, and then an assignment due in 2 hours, after I just got home from work.
A 34-year-old man, living with his parents, is seeking assistance due to a strenuous relationship with his parents. He is quite fidgety and is too prolix in his narrative. The physician attempts to put together the patient’s history in the first session, ideally this was supposed to last thirty minutes but takes over sixty minutes, due to his blurred answers to the questions.
Throughout high school, students yearn to graduate and start school at the college of their choice. The students want to make it past high school and to college, but once they look at the expansive options available the daunting feeling of indecision becomes present. One of the decisions that offers many different options during college is where the students live; dorms, on campus apartments, off campus apartments, and living at home are the four main options. Each option contains both positive and negative factors, which can make it hard to decide. Every student is different and must consider what is important to them when they are choosing where they want to live during college. To decide, each student might want to look at key factors that
The social environment that I live in believes that working is more important than college learning. The community as the majority support that a fresh high school graduate should melt in the business world. After I graduated from high school, I started looking for any business that could be educationally and financially a self-improvement. As a matter of fact, I improved my income as well as my business experience. However, the business that I involved in required the English language. Despite of the business chances that I could invest in during the summer period at that time, I decided to go overseas to learn the basics of the English language. I traveled to the US where my older brother is studying. After the first day of arrival to the US, I Notice the changes that occurred to him. He used to believe in supporting working more than college learning as a member of our community. However, he became more knowledgeable in the field he worked in before traveling to get more knowledge in a developed country such the US. At that point, my negative perspective about education has been changed. After viewing the importance of education in a community that is different than my community as well as my brother’s self-improvement, I started to view education positively.
For many high school students, happiness is caused by academic success. Students who do well in school are better able to make the transition into adulthood. Life after high school is **strenuous and it requires a lot of effort in order to succeed in it. High school teaches students how to write an essay and solve math problems, however, the major lesson students acquire from high school is preparation for the future. According to a school website, “teens who practice good time management have less stress and also have more balance and success in other areas of their lives (sports, social life, work, etc.).” Time management skills are taught throughout high school. For instance, students are expected to manage their time by getting to class on time and finishing all of their homework on time. If students are not ***solemnly putting an effort in school, then this skill will not be refined. Being academically successful allows students to manage their time wisely. Therefore, they are more prepared for the adult world where they would have to manage job and college. Many students who are doing well in school can handle the workload. One of the most arduous task students find when they go to college is the amount of workload thrown at them. According to an educational website, “The transition to college is a major awakening for students who struggled during high school or who got by without effective study or learning habits.” Students who do well academically in high school are
