Selecting your courses

Part 3

Science

Science teaches you to think analytically and apply theories to reality. Colleges want to see that you’ve taken at least 3 years of laboratory science classes. A good combination includes 2 semesters of each of the following:

·       Biology

·       Chemistry or physics

·       Earth/ space science

More competitive schools expect you to take four years of lab science courses. You can add 2 semesters in one of the following subjects:

·       Chemistry or physics (the science you didn’t already study)

·       Advanced biology

·       Advanced chemistry

·       Advanced physics

Summary

Well a man returns money to sears in Seattle after he stole the money 60 years ago. He felt so guilty that he got $100.00 and he put it in an envelope saying “late forty I stole some money from the cash register in the amount of $20-$30 I want to pay you back” and so forth. He sent all that to the sears manager. So that is what happened between the manager and the man.

Selecting your courses

Part 2

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a 4 year or 2 year college.

English (language arts)

Take English every year. Traditional courses, such as American and English literature, help you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Math

You need algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance exams and in college math classes and in many careers. Take them early on. That way, you’ll be able to enroll in advanced science and math in high school, and show colleges you’re ready for higher level work.

Most colleges look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The more competitive ones require or recommend four years. Each school has its own program, but some of the courses typically offered are:

·       Algebra 1

·       Algebra 2

·       Geometry

·       Trigonometry

·       Calculus

Tis the set of the sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to every mind there openeth,

A way, and a way, and away.

A high soul to gropes the low,

The rest drifts to and fro

But to every man there openeth,

A high way and low,

And every mind decideth,

The way his soul shall go

One ship sails east,

And another West,

By the self-same winds that blow,

Tis the set of the sail

And not the gale,

That tells the way we go.

Like the wind of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life,

Tis the set of the soul,

That determined the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

 

Selecting your Courses

Part 1

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school course schedule as a blueprint of your education. They’re looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college.

To create that foundation, take at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basic and then move on to advance courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun; but you need a firm grasp of the fundamental before going on to more advanced work.

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Tomas Carlyle

Reflection: I think this quote means that if you don’t have anything to take you down the path you need to go then you are just going nowhere. You have to find a goal and figure out “how am I going to get there.” So remember always know where you are going or you will be lost.

 

The power of study groups

Part4

Getting the most out of a session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·        Decide what you’re going to do in advance

·        Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together

·        Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·        Stick to the session topic.

By: supplementing your individual study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually you’re enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.
