Student Success Statement by Margaret Thatcher

Student Success Statement 

"Discipline yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction."

Margaret Thatcher 

Keep making yourself choose the right no matter what and then you will be accustomed to choosing the right all the time and you will always be doing the right thing.

Brad McGowan, of the career center at Newton North High School 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 dose 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 tests, should always be your top priority. McGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments…or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement by Thomas A. Edison

Student Success Statement
"What you are will show in what you do."
Thomas A. Edison

IF you are a bad person you will most likely do bad things. If you are a good person you will choose the right and do right things. If you always slack off you never complete anything.

Voicing your goals 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:

Ä  Am I an organized person?

Ä  What kind of study habits do I have?

Ä  Do I make good use of my available time?

Ä  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.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Grandparents locked girl in bathroom for Six years

I think that it was very wrong of the grandparents to lock up a three year old girl in a bathroom for 6 years. Even if the girl did something bad she deserve a six year punishment. The little girl should of told her teacher so that the teacher could call child services and they could of took her away.

Like many high school students, 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 a 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 position you’re seeking.

Student Success Statement

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."

By: Marcus Aurelius

If you are planning do something that is not right make the right choice and don't do it. If you are going to spread a rumor think twice before you say it and choose the right by not saying it.
