“What lied behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

My reflection to this statement agrees because you have a conscience to guide you through all your life time. You know when it’s wrong or when you’re lying to yourself.

Positive Aspects of Distance Education

·        Independence and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

·        A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas interest.

·        Advanced and specialized classes: Some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class- through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses. For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT! 

Marion Jones

Marion Jones was a women who was a track runner, and she won different valueable metals. She adorded them and had a very big smile on her face,but she started hanging out with the wrong people and it took her the wrong way. She started doing all these bad choices and desicions which led her to a bad standard.
Reflection; Marion Jones would of still had her metals if she had choosen the right. By hanging out with the right people, and being influenced the right way instead of the wrong. She cried so much for her metals, she was tooken to jail because she was cheating of the track team. If she would of Choose the Right she wouldn't of been standong where she is right now.

Student Success Statement #56

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

-Margret Thatcher

This statement means that although it’s always difficult to do things that are right, you have to have pride in your -self to do them.  If you don’t have pride in your-self then you’re going to end up in the low road. 

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 3

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

Thomas A. Edison

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