Student Success Statement

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it’s right.”

-Rosa Parks

Reflection: I think Rosa Parks is absolutely correct. You must never fear anything when you are doing what’s right. When you do what’s right you are doing good to yourself and to others. On the other hand if you do badly you are always going to live in fear. For example if you robbed, you will live in fear of getting caught or sent to jail. It will always remain in your conscience and you will feel guilty all your life. Doing what’s right is the best thing to do because you will never have to worry or fear about anything. Choose what’s right and have no fear!!!!

Additional tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you are some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make most of your time:

·       Discuss your plan with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·       Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately

·       Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·       Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·       If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·       Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other thing you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·       If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·       Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Spring Break J

This spring break was very nice. I did lots of things. The first thing I did while I was on break was go to the gym and workout. I was working on my fitness to be healthier and fit. The most fun thing I did while I was on break was visit my friend Evelyn who lives in Santa Fe Springs. My best friends Rafaela, Jaque, and I took the bus to my friends school to surprise her. We ended up getting off on the wrong stop so we were lost. Luckily my friend Jaque had a GPS system on her phone and it gave us the correct directions. It was a very hot day and we walked 3 miles just to get to our destination. Although the walking was tough we managed to get there on time and my best friend Evelyn was ecstatic to see us. Afterwards we went to her house and had a nice dinner. We laughed, chattered, and talked until we were tired. It was an awesome day and I had lots of fun!!!  

Summary:

Marion Jones was a great Olympic player who won three gold and two bronze. She was very successful and her reputation as a magnificent athlete grew. As the years past she admitted to have used performance-enhancing drugs to win. She lied to federal investigators and had always denied that she had used steroids. She was sentenced six months in prison for lying and using those drugs.

 

Reflection:

 I think this is a really bad. Marion Jones should have never taken those drugs or cheated. She also should have not lied to federal investigators and admitted she took those drugs. She chose the wrong and couldn’t get away cheating and lying. This makes her look bad and also her character. Choose the right and don’t lie or cheat like Marion jones because you cannot get away with it.

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 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.”

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

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 tests, 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 test because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

Summary: Two grandparents form Dayton Ohio Locked their little granddaughter up for six years. They didn’t let her come out only when she had school. They locked her up since she was just three years old for bad behavior. The grandparents also only let her out when relatives cam over so that other wont suspect anything. They fed her inconsistent meals and only gave her a blanket to sleep on. What these grandparents did is so heartless and unbelievable.

 

Reflection: This case is really heart breaking. It makes me feel sad for the little girl and makes me angry at her grandparents. What these grandparents did is so cold blooded and mean. They are maleficent people who don’t have feeling or have a heart. They definitely chose the wrong and what they did is unpardonable. Knowing about this case makes me value my grandparents because they are supper nice to me and only want what’s best for me. These people who did this to their granddaughter are delirious and have no feelings.
