Student Success Statement

                 Student Success Statement

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know what is right and important, although it is difficult, it is the highroad, to pride, self esteem, and personal satisfaction."- Margaret Thatcher(British politician 1979-1990.)
I believe this quote is a wonderful sermon. I believe  we must discipline ourselves in order to commit a proper action. Compared to many moral codes and ethical codes they mustbe inscribed within an individual from an early and impressionable age. Children experience categorization upon the time they start to socialize with their peers, they percieve the "cool" kids, and some children will desire to intermingle with such children. The child will then alter their moral code in order to "Fit in" they believe this matriculation is necessary because of their impressionability. But these children must be disciplined they must be taught to resist such urges, they must learn to exclude themselves from a group of individuals if they were to participate in improper actions.

Balancing High School and a Part time occupation Part 3
Brad Mac Gowan, of the career center that is located at Newton north High-school in Massachusetts, believes that holding an occupation can be a significant milestone with in a young student’s life, if they are responsible. “you can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money,” he says , “iin most cases you can derive a great deal of discipline, and a lot of new sets and experiences.” In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong university recommendation for you, remember academics is your first priority
School work, including homework, and studying for tests, should always be your first priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to acquire an occupation, “if you are rushing through your assignments…..or not studying enough for tests because of your occupation, it is time to shorten you occupational hours or leave the occupation and find an occupation that consumes less of your time.”

Summary and Reflection

                 Summary and Reflection

  1. Today we have read an article, the article's topic focused on a child who was imprisoned within a bathroom for six years by her grandparents, the child was only allowed to have contact outside when she went to her academic institution. The child was first imprisoned within the restroom at the age of three. The couple who had imprisoned her have been in police custody since January 27 2013, they are being faced with several charges that can imprison them for at least 20 years. It was stated by the law enforcement that the living conditions of the child were deplorable, she was fed irregularly and was only given a cot and a blanket to sleep with. The motives behind the imprisoment are not clear "there is no viable explination." says dayton Sgt. Larry Trophlin.
  2. These grandparents are deplorable individuals, why would they raise a child with in these conditions? These grandparents should be kept in prison for a very long time for their inhumane crime. The child may suffer from mal nutrition and several psychological problems that pretain to social and external interaction, i am deeply saddened by these crimes and i hope no child would have to experience this torture.

Like many high school alumni, you may want-or need-to work part time. Working expends a lot of a student’s time and energy, though, so before acquiring a job, make sure to observe your ability to handle both work and education.

Important Considerations
You have to compare a number of factors when deciding whether or not to acquire a part-time occupation. It is important to receive as much information as possible, in order to decide what choice is the most beneficial toward you.
Scheduling a meeting with the school counselor in order to discuss the idea of acquiring a part-time job. Discuss with your counselor about you motives for the obtainment of a part-time occupation and what position you want to occupy.

Stuednt Success Statement

               Student Success Statement

  "If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say."-Marcus Aurelius(Roman emperor form 161 A.D to 180 A.D)
This statement tries to convey what is correct and what is incorrect. We are taught what is wrong at an early age, but until we experience the consequences after we have commited that action, do we begin to understand what is proper and what is improper. That can also be conveyed through what is actual and what is not actual, when we are children we expirement with certain actions so we lie whaen we are taught what a inaccuracy is, but only until we experience the catastrophic consequences that manifest after we have shared inaccurate information, do we realize it is improper to share in accurate information.

Success in AP courses can help you in other aspects of your academic education. AP allows you to be evaluated fully during the higher education admission process and offers the opportunity to learn from some of the most inspiring instructors in the world. Learn more about the AP program.

For more assistance in selecting courses
Use college search to inform yourself about a higher level institution’s academic requirements, in order to be certain you are taking the correct courses that will allow you to attend you chosen institution.
If you are concerned about your class schedule or academic progress, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources that can assist you in this process, and may also assist you with achieving you personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals grant you with a purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion that will allow you to achieve what you want to achieve. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes when they are necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working diligently in order to achieve your desired aspirations.
