"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 

i believe that Margaret means is that you should know  what is wrong and right. you should always commit to yourself in the way that you can always do what is right. although it is difficult, you should always do what is right. 

       Balancing High School and

                 Part-Time Work

                                     Part 3

Brad Mac Gowan, 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 responsibly. “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 experience.” 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.”

Student Success Statement

“What you are will show in what you do”

Thomas A Edison

Reflection: I believe that if you do great things for example like clean & help out the community then people will value you and know that you are a great person. If you are a bad person than others will know you for your actions.

Balancing High School and Part time Work

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—v 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 can cut into the time you have for sleeping studying and socializing.

summary: a couple had kidnapped a young girl. for 6 years the girl was allowed to go to school. but after that she had to go straight to the bathroom. the bathroom? yes.... The parents were charged with child abduction and child endanger. 
reflection: i believe you get what you deserve. and those "Parents" deserved it. who would do such a thing? it is disturbing and completely wrong. Poor little girl, is what kept going throguh my mind. having nothing to do but be in the restroom. They chose the wrong and they are going to pay for it. 

Balancing high school and Part-time work

Part 1

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/high-school/45266.html

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. 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 are seeking.

“If it’s not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius

Reflection:          

I believe that Marcus is saying is you should not do something if it is the wrong thing to do. in addition you should not lie, because it is not the truth. For example if you went to a party instead of a friend’s house, your friend should not lie and tell your [parents that you are there when in reality you aren’t. if you went to the party and you drank beer or did drugs you chose the wrong. You should have said no and chosen the right. Now you must take ownership and confess to the truth. Always choose the right even if it hurts others.
