Balancing high school and part time work

Part 4

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably’ so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “for example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”

“Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction”

Margaret Thatcher

What she is saying is that if you keep yourself from doing what is wrong that you will do the right knows matter what because you are the disciplining yourself not anyone else just you. So if you are going to do something bad like shop lifting, discipline yourself and don’t let it happen. So remember discipline yourself in doing only the right.

Part 3

Brad MacGowan, 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 test, should always be your top priority. MacGowan 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

“What you are will show in what you do.”

Thomas Edison

What Thomas Edison is saying is that if you are doing something you are not supposed to, that shows what kind of person you are. If you do something nice that is that kind of person you are. So remember always choose the right and that will show what kind of person you are.

Part 2

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:

·       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 cut into time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Balancing high school and part time work

Part 1

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 to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take on a part time job. Its important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choices 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.
